Taking the BGA out should not be a difficult task to do in any good assembly 
shop.

You may also like to purchase one IRDA BGA rework station - some simple one 
should not be expensive ( on ebay it is about $200 or so). The IRDA rework 
station sends Infra Red to heat the BGA. A feedback temperature sensor ensure 
heating to the required temperature. You can use a simple vacuum pick up tool 
to lift the BGA when it is hot. Some machines come with automatic removal 
ability. Heating gun is a crude method and should be avoided( but I have used 
it).

It is also possible to resolder it back, but needs some skill. I hope you do 
not need that. You can take help of assembly shop for that.
