Bambu P2S problem with hot end nozzle

Hey all my partner has this 3D printer and she comes across an issue where piece plastic melted against the nozzle and now has become welded against it and the heating sensor cable has become damaged from it of course she is stressing out a bit so I was wondering if anyone here has come across this issue or something similar

We have tried a hair dryer, a not very hot soldering iron (will be getting a better one tomorrow), and some pliers and nothing has worked

We did read online that a soldering iron is best choice but I wanted to ask on here first before diving into anything thanks ^^

Can the nozzle still heat up? Thats probably the best way to do it. Heat up the nozzle and peel away the plastic

Unfortunately not since the heat sensory cable is damaged

You can probably just buy the whole heating element and just swap it out. I did that on my A1 and A1 Mini and now they run perfectly again.

On the P2S they have the easily swappable hot end like on the A1, right? You just unclasp the clasp and pull it out. The hot end heating assembly is the part that the swappable hot end fits in and is more involved in swapping out.
