[DM-MUG] Needed, a steady hand - harddrive repairer for hire?

[Victoria L. Herring]

I have posted before and am getting to the point of figuring out what 
needs to be done == this is about that drive where the piece fell off 
and now I can't access the data, even just to move it off.  I have 
pictures of the issue but I asked a friend who works on computers 
etc. [but lies in Puerto Rico] and he said ==

It's a ribbon cable connector.  I don't see any problem with adhering 
the ribbon to the connector, or jumping directly to the logic board. 
You need someone with a steady hand and loads of dexterity (and 
patience).

I did something much like this while fixing an iBook.  I yanked out 
the connector that holds the touchpad, and had to reattach it, much 
like yours.

There must be someone out there in the data recovery business that 
won't charge an arm and a leg for doing this and extracting your data.

Is there anyone here locally who can fix this???
