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.

Trouble is, these connectors are feeble so a replacement could break again.
Pop-rivets?

That's funny mine aren't broken. You're not supposed to use vice grips and hammers on them.
