Hey there,
so i took lots of time to get the pcb out of its socket and it still broke :( Looking at it, it was broken already and glued by someone. I dont really know how to fix this. Its a very valuable unit, so it should be done properly. Any suggestion?

Thanks!

I never fixed a problem like the one in your vid, but my instinct would be to scrape a good portion of the trace leading to the tab and put a heavy-ish gauge capacitor lead cutoff mirroring the trace and on to the tab as far as you can before it interferes with the female card adapter, then after you solder it in place i'd super glue/activator over the top of the lead to bulk the area for strength, then i'd also epoxy and file the area around the tab to get it structurally strong again
I'd also bend another lead at 90* to put where the red lines are in this pic, then epoxy/super glue and file it to shape and fitment for more strength
