Yesterday i was doing some cleanup inside my tower and i was just wondering if a sata connection on the motherboard were bent but not broken off can it still be usable. cause i had to move a cable and it got twisted up and when i pulled a little it bent the connection back and the sata connector on the connector pins almost came off i bent it back and all seems good since i bent it back and it seems like everything is working should i be worried about anything in the future going wrong?
 
Solution
I would say no, as it would be cheaper and more reliable to just buy another motherboard. Unless you are using all the connectors you could just use another, but be gentle in the future to avoid a recurrence.

I got another question if it were to break off is there anyway to repair it if that happens or just say its a lost?
