IgorT w/ DrLava driver 405nm

I have an IgorT w/ DrLava driver 405nm clicky host. It barely puts out a beam anymore. Would this be as simple as removing the old diode and installing/ soldering a new one in? As I recall soldering is a one shot move. No going backwards.
Is this worth anything as a future build or not?

These can be rebuilt with a new diode and/or driver

Peace,
