Fan connector contacts pulled off, anyway of not spending 1100$
I pulled the FDC clip contacts 3 of them right off the board, this is not the logic board I see for sale and that repair shops think I'm talking about. There has to be another way of connecting the fans flexy cable to it's required +\- signal and so forth, could I just jumper it to the other fan? They want 1100$ for this, not a chance its not the board with the processors and so on its on a board you can see when the logic board is taken out. the computer was 3grand Canadian im not gonna believe that price when its not the main logic board, someone spoke of finding potential contacts with there multi meter and hooking the fan up, he stated it was doable because they use PWM. Any help would be amazing
Is this a good question?

Can you post some pics of each connector so we can see the damage. Need both the broken off connector so we can see the contacts and the locations on the logic board. Adding images to an existing question

What I see is, at least for me, not enough to say if what is left there is sufficient for resoldering the connector in place, would need a view with a microscope and maybe even that might not suffice. Have a look at the answer from @oldturkey03 and relative comments, you'll likely need to test the working connector to get reference values in Ohms and in diode mode and see if you can find the same where the pads were lifted. Maybe one could do some long jumpers with enameled copper wire getting the missing circuits from the working connector. One should try and see, but in any case it's a bit of a demanding repair given the small scale. I believe there's not much else that can be recommended besides what it was already answered.
