Are they completely broken off or they just bent?


If broken off how much is it to repair it profesionally? (ive never heard of anybody doing this)

Really easy to repair. Professionally, will cost from 30 to 60 bucks or even more, depending on where you go. you can buy your own parts from an electronic store, like Frys, and do it yourself. Cut the wire, place them in the right place, snap shut the enclosure, and you're in business. I'm no electronics whiz and I did it without problems.

I've done that before. Just got an electronics whiz guy to fix it for me. Just grabbed a bit of wire. Soldered in. Back in business. You might be able to get away without soldering.
