I bought a refurbished Corsair Neutron 240GB SSD from newegg a few months ago, which means that my SSD is out of warranty. I have a problem with the connector on the SSD. Though I don't have a picture, it is fairly easy to describe my problem. The pins connecting the SATA cable to the drive are damaged, which means the drive cannot be read. If you look at any sata port on a drive, there will be small silver pins behind the plastic that connect to the board. My problem is, one of them has bent and is disconnected from the board and the gold pin that it is connected to is slightly shorter than normal (as the pin holding it to the board has been withdrawn and is pulling it in slightly).
tl;dr
pin is pulled inwards - the pin connecting it to the board is not connected any more (there is a visible gap in the air). How do I fix it? I know I could solder it but seeing as I dont have much experience I dont want to take a risk,
