How to fix Broken Internal Display Connector on iMac 27"

Text:

Hi,

I have an iMac 27" that one of my coworker has damaged the display connector while pulling the LCD hard and snapped some pins from the board. This was done while i was replacing a hard drive that failed. "Common thing with the iMacs." Before coming here i have googled the problem, red so many forums and found a post in Macrumors.com, where people had this issue and fixed it by ordered the small connector and soldering it. I went ahead and ordered that connector, when i got it i quickly start soldering it. Unfortunately it is a bit challenging and spent days to get right without bridging it, but it is impossible. I have become so impatient that i want to throw the whole thing in the garbage, but i have got so many video projects to do being a video editor. I want to know if other people are experiencing this issue, and how to they dealt with it. Also if there are anyway repair places that i send the logic board and they fix it for cheap, i know how much apple is demanding and i just can't afford that. Thank you in advance for any replies.

I have attached some photos for reference [http://tinypic.com/r/2quuq0n/7|The board]
