I did do this on my Mutec (removed the internal PSU and soldered a DC lead from the Paul Hynes PSU directly to the mainboard but the Mutec costs 1/14th of the new price of the 250Pro.
Since they didn't mind you soldering that piece, maybe they'd be happy for you (or others) to make the mods and retain warranty if you asked them first?
You're much braver than me - I'd have sent it back and got it checked out. Apart from the fact I haven't soldered anything in years, let alone something worth reasonable money, I'd be worried that whatever caused it (maybe a bit of a courier bashing) might have weakened other parts.
What happens with the heatsink pad - doesn't it need a new one once it's been separated from the baseplate?
Glad it arrived and you're finally enjoying it anyway.
