Unfortunately the connector is fitted directly into the tuner module and depending on the module it can be a finicky repair.

First you have to open the module itself which can be difficult if it has been “factory sealed”. Hopefully it is just enclosed in a fitted metal enclosure that can be carefully pried open.

If you can gain access to the module interior be careful as it is tightly packed with components so be careful as you don’t want to disturb the “tuning” circuits in any way.
You’ll have to carefully remove the old connector and resolder a new one in its’ place. Close the module shield up again and check that it all works OK
Here’s a link to a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9v-dUyzdrk|video] that may be of some help.
If this seems too daunting a task, an alternative is to simply replace the entire board that the tuner is mounted on. There should be a board number printed somewhere on the board (not sure if it is BN40-00083A for your model).
Search online for ''(insert board number)'' to get results for suppliers of the part.
