Hello,
I accidentally broke off a part that a wire connects to on the power supply. It connects in a spot labeled CN3. It's black, very small, and has 2 pins. Is this repairable by finding that one part and soldering it on or do I need a new power supply?
The larger board
Zoomed in where the part was, box CN3
Where the connection is
Two angles of the broken part
Cette question est-elle utile ?

how about try to solder that part or find some tiny wire to make as extension, then solder it to the board and part that was been remove but make sure you properly attach the exact connection for both end.

I don't have much soldering experience. But you're saying if I solder the original wires back together it should still work?
Yup as long that you properly solder them in the right connection.
Ever find a solution? Working on a 2008 iMac and the plastic was so brittle the connecter basically disintegrated

I was going to replace a fan, but in the process of taking it apart this part broke off the board.

Can you post a couple of pictures so we can see any of the markings on the part as well as where it was located Ajout d'images à une question existante

OK good! You pulled off the temp sensor connection. I'll need to dig around for the needed part info

I suppose a followup question is this. Would the computer start up if this was the only thing wrong with it? Or would it still work and the temperature sensor just wouldn't?
