Title:

I broke a flat cable socket. How can I fix it?

Text:

Hi,

I onestly made a mess. I was trying to replace my touchpas we I broken the socket for the flat cable. In two different way.

First one the black blocker that blocks the cable went off and I'm not able to replug it.

Second one a upper pin is gone.

The situation is better described by this pictures:

There is some hope I can still use this connector?

If yes how?

If not how can I fix it? ( It is connected to the mother board of my laptop)

Thank you for everything
