Need help finding correct part for Roomba 500 series

Hi there,
On my Roomba 565 a contact broke off - This is one of the two soldered contacts that supply power to the fan in the dustbin. (actually, the second contact is corroded as well and should probably be replaced at the same time). I need help determining which part to purchase to ensure my Roomba can continue doing its job. A picture of the patient is attached (I hope)

You are correct: the roomba did get wet. Last winter I set it to work cleaning the garage but I had not noticed that some snow had melted off my snow shovel. The roomba apparently went through the resulting puddle and got wet. The support people at the roboshop are currently preparing a quote for me. I was unable to find a guide about replacing the bottom chassis shell. Since pretty much everything is connected to that bottom shell, it seems to me, the easiest would be to un-solder the contacts from the new bottom shell and use them to replace the contacts on the old bottom shell - rather than taking the entire thing apart.

I just submitted the order.
They will be shipping the entire bottom chassis across the country.
After I unsolder the contacts, the chassis will be recycled.
Seems like a huge waste …

Thanks for your help!

Thank you for confirming. Our team will go ahead and remove the contacts.

In this case, if the package has not left, you may ask our technicians via the support center if they can remove and ship just the contacts.

Did your robot get wet in any way? it is very rare that we see corroded contacts such as yours. We unfortunately do not sell the contacts alone but, they do come with the robots chassis.

Hope this helps.

You are correct that it would take less time to resolder the contacts onto your chassis in this case. There is indeed no manual for replacing the chassis since it takes a combination of all the other manuals of replacing individual parts. So if you do decide to replace the chassis you can refer yourself to these individual manuals if you would like more info on replacing a part in particular.
