Those are the wifi antennae.. They really should both be connected.. You may still work ok but I have to think eventually it will over work your radio. I'm not 100% sure which is which but I believe one is for the 2.4 gig radio and the other for the 5gig radio. It's too bad one broke.. bummer. Maybe you could find one somewhere. I now have a parts machine for issues such as that..
Oh yeah! I knew it was the antennae but when I saw that something was broken I just went limp and blanked out. Realistically, the connector on the card still has the pin in the middle - it's just the ring around the pin that's gone, so the antenna wire won't clip into place. I don't see why I can't just hold the antenna wire against the pin and then crazy glue it into place? I'm assuming crazy glue is non-conductive so it should be fine?
crazy glue May be non-conductive, but the outer connector ring is to be in direct contact with the ring that should be on that board. it's been a while since I had mine apart, but it may be possible to solder it on..but you run the risk of damaging it. You'd most likely be better off trying to find a replacement one on eBay or internet somewhere..
