Put a new connector on it. http://www.satagear.com/SATA_Connectors.html

So you want him to tear the unit apart, pay $20 for the two connectors
plus $10 shipping ($30 total) and then try and solder all those wires
onto the pins?? Instead of just buying a new unit for about $30 or
better yet, using the glue as has been suggested?? Your logic does not
compute!

Glue a connector? That IS retarded.


Got any better ideas?

You don't glue the contacts, just put a blob around the body to take the place of the broken latching mechanism.

Cheaper than buying a new drive.....
