I usually remove all connections, ensure everything is clean, then carefully reinstall everything. Do people actually do traces and try to solder? These are tiny components. I use a multimeter to ensure connections are electrically sound, and that is it. Sometimes for a loose connector such as a USB I'll heat up the connectors enough to resolder itself, but not hot enough to remove connections.
I know of no place that does more than troubleshoot and swap parts.
