If none of the connections are soldiered
Always a plug on Philips VAM series lasers which this unit has. Some have a protective static solder blob that bridges across two tracks that need to be unbridged after it’s installed, this is easy.
As for sending it to BAT, that fine if you don’t mind being hit hard for the work and parts mark up. As you can see with the ebay link I posted, the whole mechanism with laser already in it is around $15-$30 and it takes about 1/2hr do the job. 1hr if you not experienced but have some skill set.
