Replaced keyboard, but a connection was broken in the process
OK, I thought I'd be smart and replace my laptop keyboard by myself and when I "ripped" out the old one, one of the battery connections also ripped out. It's not the main battery connection but the smaller one. Any idea if I can MacGyver this? Solder or glue or anything like that? Argh! I was sooo close too!
If only it were that easy... and believe me I've been brainstorming!
I took some pics to show you. And you're going to wonder about me now. I have more than the one issue, as you will see in my pics. I should have taken it to a repair shop but I figured, hey it couldn't be that hard. Doh!
Let me see if I can figure out how to post these pics.
Is this a good question?

I like bubble gum and paper clips for my MacGyver repairs ;-}

Can you post some pics of the part that's damaged and where it connects to so we can see whats up.

Something funky happened to the image.... like it posted negative or something. Let me try again!

Dats betta! I had to add the pic to the first part of this thread, it wouldn't let me add it here or in the last few comments. Oh well, it's been one of those days... or weeks.
