No soldering required, it consists of a small pcb with the mem card slot and 2 h/phone sockets. It is connected to the motherboard using 4 cables, if you do pick one up be sure you get all 4 with it. I got mine from Briggs quite a while ago, its in bad shape though. One of the headphone sockets doesnt work and the other has a loose connection. I paid well over the odds for it too, desperation is a terrible thing. They do pop up on eBay occasionally, keep an eye out. You could try Briggs and a post in the wanted section couldn't hurt either.
After re-reading this post I realised it looks like I'm saying Briggs ripped me off. This is absolutely not the case, I knew exactly what I was getting and have no problem with Briggs at all.
