Yes, these are easy to fix. Generally if you resolder ALL the pins you
will take care of most problems...what we do is make sure that the pins
stick throught the circuit boards at least 1/16inch. This ensures a good
mound of solder to support the pin and reduce the likelihood of cracks
in the solder connections.
