Hi Angel,

Do you mean the gold prong on the motherboard, there are two of them, if so you can find these on any scrap laptop motherboard, just solder one off, clean the pad on the nexus mobo and re-solder, i use solder paste as you dont need so much heat to do the job, if you dont have access to a scrap mobo then you can use the spring out of a ball point pen but its a bit tricky, also you can solder a piece of wire from the pad on the mobo to the pad inside the lid which i have not attempted but sound workable, just get the correct pad inside the lid.

Cheers

Mike
