I’ve attached images to show what I’ve done.

In troubleshooting my MagSafe board, I pulled up on the board connector rather than out (I should not work on my tech when angry.) Is this something that can be fixed either myself or by a microsolder tech? Or will I have to resort to a logic board replacement?

I can get it to “sit” in the correct position (first photo), but obviously it will not stay

Thank you for your assistance - I can provide any additional details needed.

That will need to be resoldered back on, the metal legs on the plastic connector is still there so that's good to use.

Any microsoldering technician should be able to that for you.

I did this silly mistake before with a battery connector, forgot to screw battery in so battery flew out with the part.

@benjamen50 - Courtney will need a new connector as the upper pin parts are sheared off. There are two legs per each contact the soldered part and the one above applying pressure. You'll need to find one from a junker board.
