sounds like liquid maybe got inside the connector itself or on the pins

you can have the board repaired if you can find someone locally with the correct equipment and knowledge on B.G.A. replacing/re-balling/re-working

You can check with eBay. The part should be available on there. If not let me know, I have a couple vendors that should have it in stock if you do not want to deal with eBay
