Hi everyone. I bought a MBP on Ebay a month ago and the seller shipped it with the screws loose under the base and a small part of the motherboard broke off. Now the macbook won't charge. It's a small pointy silver part(there are around 5 of them) located on the side where the charging port is. When I connect the magsafe charger the charger light keeps blinking on and off. I'm pretty sure it can be reached paired if that part is soldered back on but I can't identify it by name. I've attached a photo it's those pointy shiny things sticking out at the end of the mother board towards where the charging port is. The one closest towards the charging port is the one that broke off. Thanks for help and sorry for sounding like a clueless noob
