Hey, I accidentally broke the connector from the logic board. Can it be fixed somehow? I tried to glued back together but it doesn't work.
Rosario, take that to a pro. Those things sometimes can be resoldered (Glue wont work), but it takes an experts eye and a steady hand. I got that eye, I dont have the hand, so as much as I can drive an oscilloscope with the best of them, my hand tremmor means I’d never trust a fix like that to myself.
