[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1176902, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. Your photos didn't post for some reason. But, no matter. Soldering those connectors back on to the board may likely result in damaging the board. That type of repair is best done by someone who has the right kind of equipment and is familiar with close in and delicate soldering. I don't know why you had to remove the superdrive in the first place. There are many other methods of ejecting a stuck DVD from the drive before the drive has to be removed. Anyway, too late for you. Since you can't afford to have it repaired, I suggest buying an inexpensive external USB optical drive and use that until you get back to work. [/QUOTE]
