thorn ridge

quick question would it still work even if I force it-

#

nvm i check it doesnt detect it

#

You can try to press it down but... rare chance it will work

#

The better way to fix it is to replace the connector

#

these things are called ZIF connector, short for Zero insertion force connector

#

easily broken on beginner repair, you live and you learn

#

I suggest sending it into repair services
