I tore my interconnect board and now I have no sound

I was trying to upgrade the Ram in my Mac Mini and suffered a causality that was complete stupid on my part.

What can I do to get it connected again???

Bad pictures, can't really see what happened. Did you rip off the connector that clamps down on the little ribbon cable?

Google the part number and try to find a new one. Or, if the contacts look decent, try to solder it (at your own risk).

unfortunately its next to impossible to re-attach that as its surface soldered to the board. you would have to get a replacement board, apple calls it the interconnect board apple part number 922-7320, should be-able to get it from mac service shops in the area.. probably run you around $30-35 or you can check online

I can't see the other side, but it just seems like it's just the board without the cable... so how do I attach it? Any ideas. This sucks lol.

Well I ordered it. Hope it works.

From what i could tell from your pictures it will be. there is only 2 other styles one for the older g4 mac minis and one for the new 2009 and they are both different that the pictures

Just a FYI, I connected the new interconnect board and it worked!
