    The motherboard on my laptop is missing a few things. I have the two pieces on the bottom, and plan on reattaching them. I have no idea what happened to the piece on the top. Does anyone have a picture to compare this one to? Can you help me at all?

    They were all broken off by mishandling of the motherboard/incorrect removal process.

    You can try soldering the broken stuff back "on" but make sure you keep polarity correct.

    You will need _ALL_ broken pieces - don't try and run it until every piece is soldered. Good luck!

    I swear they fell off by themselves, possibly by overheating. I have the two pieces from the bottom circle, but I'm still missing the piece from the top circle. Any idea what that might be? It's the smaller, longer piece.
