hire?</title></head><body>
<div>I have posted before and am getting to the point of figuring out
what needs to be done == this is about that drive where the piece fell
off and now I can't access the data, even just to move it off. I
have pictures of the issue but I asked a friend who works on computers
etc. [but lies in Puerto Rico] and he said ==</div>

It's a ribbon cable connector. I don't see any problem with
adhering the ribbon to the connector, or jumping directly to the logic
board. You need someone with a steady hand and loads of
dexterity (and patience).<br>
<br>
I did something much like this while fixing an iBook. I yanked
out the connector that holds the touchpad, and had to reattach it,
much like yours.<br>
<br>
There must be someone out there in the data recovery business that
won't charge an arm and a leg for doing this and extracting your
data.</font></tt><br>

<div>Is there anyone here locally who can fix this???</div>
