Well I'm only 2 hours "down the road" in Lake Charles, LA. Unfortunately, I don't own a soldering iron and from my limited experiences with one, it's probably just as well!
Seriously, if it is only a problem with the keyboard connector (I have an Elbox A1200 tower too) then just take it along to a local computer repair shop(or even TV repair shop) and they can do simple soldering for you. Failing that, you can order a replacement keyboard connector from either Elbox or Power Computing.
Besides, why even use solder? I thought all you "Suthern Boys" use duct-tape? ;-)
