Hi everyone. I was taking apart my White MacBook for the first time and when disconnecting the keyboard, the connector on the logic board snapped off. I'm pretty upset and am guessing it needs soldered back onto the board. I attached a link to a photo I took below. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you think this can be repaired? I'd really appreciate any feedback. Thanks. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1751507/macbo...

Uh-oh.
Well, it's a surface mounted board so you can't solder it back on. It happens with the iBook Power Button Connector and when it does, it needs a new logic board.
As for suggestions, if a new logic board doesn't sound overly appealing, we suggest for the time being an external keyboard would keep your system running but this is an unfortunate problem.
Sorry we can't be more help
