I have an iBook G4 and I recently upgraded and replaced my hard drive because it stopped working. In the process, I pulled too hard on a connector in the upper left side of my computer (see picture at ifixit.com).

The connector is now at a 45 degree angle, and while it is still attached, it is not functioning because the computer is not turning on. This makes since considering that the connector goes to the from the logic board to the button to turn on my computer...
My questions are: Do you think there is a possibility this can be re-soldered on or do you think I need a whole new logic board and is there any way to start the computer without the physical button (i.e. a keystroke of some sort...)?
Thank you so much!!!
P.S. I know the logic and DC-in boards are working because my laptop battery charges...
