I'm always more afraid after a customer says "Another store tried to fix it but they coudn't" then when they say "Yeah I tried to fix it myself but it didn't help"
Because the store probably got the tools to mess it up real good, while the customer probably just placed it in rice lol
Anyways not really sodomized by customer or store but felt like posting this closeup anyways
Dude, as Nick said, your photograph is fucking CRISP. What did you take this photo with?

No Title
Someone mailed me these images last week. He was gifted this laptop to try and fix. He said he thinks it fell on its corner and perhaps someone pulled on the charger cord too hard. I think someone tried to eat the case with pliers. I said I'd replace the magsafe for my standard fee, but no guarantee of anything working. He declined, which was ok by me.

Yeah, if you fix stuff like this you have no business in micro soldering anything, butcher work. I bet the coax is damaged/flattened at the screw for the heat sink too as usual
I fix it by soldering on a connector and a bit of coax too like that, but the exposed core will not be more than 2mm.

absolutely agree. This is coming from a repair shop that installs SSDs in 2011 iMacs without doing anything about the tempsensor-thing. instead they install fan control software that only works after logging in.. it's sad.. the last iMac I got in had the gpu replaced with an incompatible firmware or something, his solution: leave the optical drive fan disconnected...
if you're that disrespectful to the business: get the F.. out.

I think it was duke that pointed out you can solder three pins together on the SATA connector. I’ve figured the enclosed picture to be the easiest way, but please let duke verify if this is correct. (I can’t for the life of me remember if this is the right picture as I had multiple attempts and as it’s been awhile, and I’m not at work now.) this is 
one of the pictures I took of test drives, I took that to remind myself as I have a shoddy memory

Yes only for 2011. Sounds like a better solution, never thought of that, stupidly enough. The connector does have quite the amount of flexible rubbery stuff so it bends around the little solderblob. But I’m gonna use your method from now on.
