sure, I do it every day as mail-in board repair. The clearances are too tight for DIY unless you have experience microsoldering. If you do, order a connector, the ones on eBay or Alibaba are fine. If not, you can ask me for a quote at my website--find it from my profile.

I had snapped off the little plastic tab that holds in the keyboard ribbon cable on a laptop, and found an easy way to fix it.

The same problem can occur on may different devices, such as CD players, laptop keyboard connectors, camera ribbon cable connectors, etc.

On the off chance that you have the same type of problem, check out my YouTube video I had posted last year. Not sure what is wrong with your connector. If it is the same problem, you can easily fix it in a few minutes.

The link in the original post seems to have been cut off when it was posted.

After posting this, I can see that it is STILL cut off,

So I'll past the address portion after youtube.com so that it is clear
