Ruined backlight connector by yours truly

Hello Team!

I've once again messed with stuff i shouldn't mess with and paid the price.

From what i can understand this is the connector for the keyboard backlight, and ive managed to destroy all but one of the coppar pegs. (see sc)

Am i right in thinking that the only thing i can do is replace the mobo (by a pro this time) or just live with it

the connector can be replaced by a technician without replacing the whole motherboard

yea, the trick would be finding a connector. It appears there are only 4 connections on it, so it shouldn't be a big job. But then there seems to be 6 traces on the flex, but the 2 outer traces don't appear to be connected to the connector.
