@SnipesWithWolves: You don't "soder" anything. The damn process is called soLdering. And those "orange things" are caps. I strongly suggest you don't try soldering them yourself, since you obviously don't know shit about electronics.
@randyfromm If I understood you correctly, if a letter isn't pronounced, it doesn't have to be written either? Last time I checked, this wasn't the case.
The cost of paste is relatively low, $5 for a small syringe, the embossing tool is about $20 at hobby stores and the heating pad used to be available at WalMart, a candle warmer will do.
It looked like a component was lifting up off of your PCB due to the air flow....but I think you're on to something.
Heat guns produce enough heat to reflow the solder and they are cheap ($10 at harbor freight tools), but the velocity of the air will blow the components off the board...some possible solutions: hack the gun and reduce the fan speed, or maybe build a heat shield/diffuser out of some thick steel wool or something that will reduce the air flow and spread the heat more.
You are correct about the component popping up, that is know as tombstone-ing, but is not caused by to much air velocity, it is caused by not having the same amount of solder paste on both ends of the component. The surface tension, caused by the solder melting is unequal and causes the part to tombstone. I recommend the embossing tool found at hobby stores and not heat guns and not paint strippers, they produce too much heat.
What are those little orange things in between the black things? I need to resoder the orange thing to my xbox

They are capacitors and you don't want to be messing with them if you didn't accidentally break them off. They will not be your problem.

@davidjereb The "L" is silent here in the USA. This according to our American dictionaries.
I strongly suggest you don't try commenting unless you actually know what you're talking about.

Now would anybody now how much anyone of these costs. And is this what I need to replace a charger port on a Blackberry Pearl

Unequal solder paste, that makes more sense, thanks for the tip!
Embossing tool...I'll have to check those out next time I'm at hobby-lobby.
Cheers
