Juddium Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 FWIW I broke one or two of those little plastic retainers for ribbon cables (little buggers); I just super-glued the piece back together and used it again. I know it's far from recommended practice, but it isn't absolutely essential to have that particular plastic device - as long as contact is made with the pins, you could use just about anything to hold it in place. Glue from a hot glue gun works as an insulator, and can be removed fairly easily - I dabbed some on the pins from the microUSB port to the PCB of my Nexus 7 after resoldering one of them back on, and it's held up wonderfully since then.I'm sure there are better solutions out there, but getting it to work again is more important than aesthetics IMO.

stea7th Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Coincidentally mine was recently broken too. By a computer shop technician!! And they did not tell me they broke it () just one side though. I opened and disconnected my dvd-write a number of times and yes that plastic bit (white colour?) only needs to be loosened to disconnect the dvd writer, not totally come off. Having said that, I am not sure why but I think mine is probably not detecting it as it does not appear in 'My Computer'. But I am pretty sure it is intact, tight and in contact even with those small end tips are broken. That white plastic bit is still inserted and in good fit position. So another problem for me is I will need to find out why is it not connected? It was not broken before and it also did not appear in My Computer (drives).
