    Hello,
    After replacing my WiFi card I broke my power button connectors` clip.
    I can`t seem to find it in e-bay so I`m here to ask if anyone has a neat solution to fix it
    or knows the exact name of that particular part ;)
    I`m attaching a screenshot for ease.

    This isn't a part you can buy easily, and even if you could I think it is difficult to replace. You could try adding some tape to the back of the ribbon cable to make it thicker and let friction hold it in, but for the most part once you break something like this, you're hosed.
