Is this fixable I believe it’s the Bluetooth antenna?
It broke off hopefully I didn’t mess it up too bad.
Is this a good question?

Hey there,
Fixing it should be doable, based on what I can see. The first option would be to try and solder the connector back on. The connector doesn't look damaged, so you could probably resolver the connector back on, or replace the connector with a new coaxial antenna connector. Otherwise, the only other option is to replace the motherboard, which also requires you to replace the disk drive.
Best of luck to you!

I don’t think I could solder it back in as I don’t have the right tools but do you also think that if I replace do I have to solder it also?
That antenna is two parts, the cable and the connector. You should be able to seperate the two with the connector staying attached to the motherboard. If the motherboard is replaced, your old cable should work and you should not have to solder.
