I was doing a RAM swap out and upon reconnecting the fan power supply, the side of the fan power adapter snapped off. Please look at the pictures. I have circled the areas I am talking about. While the pins seem ok in the middle, it looks like there may be a metal contact spot on the side that broke off. So, will the fan still work? How do I know? What re my options? I can’t solder, so that won’t be one of them.
# Put some electric tape to hold the wire in place?
# Return it to apple (I have had the computer 2 days) and use Apple Care
# Replace the adapter and pay somebody to solder?
I just spent my savings on this and am heartbroken I messed up. I was trying to save money on RAM.
Thanks for your help.
