SSd upgrade went bad

[amnonlahav]

Hi all ,
I've just finished a SSd upgrade on a mid 2010 iMac and n the process
I've see to have harm one of the connectors from the screen .
From what I understand its the video card input I've bend some of the pins while pulling it out, now the iMac loads and but the screen remains black
Do I now need to replace the video card ?
Thanks

Mean replace the motherboard? There isn't a separate board for the video card.

Crap there is no fix for it ? Can the video connector be replaced ?

That looks like you "might" be able to get the pins to go back into their respective slots in the plastic shroud. It would take some good magnification, a set of small tweezers, and a very steady hand.

If not, a new connector could be purchased and someone with excellent soldering skills should be able to replace it.
