faulty PCMCIA slot -- Can I just replace it?

I have a dell inspiron 8200 and have been having problems with my PCMCIA slot recognizing the insertion of pc cards. After speaking with Dell Support they tell me I have a faulty PCMCIA slot. The controller is a Texas Instruments PCI-4451 Cardbus Controller. As expected, they want an arm and a leg to fix it not to mention the downtime with shipping and what not.

My question is, do they sell the slots/controllers on the market? Is there any way I can obtain one and replace it myself?
 
it can probably be done but dont expect it to be easy... you'll probably be best off looking for a dead mobo and swapping parts
