    While fiddling around with my Z, I accidentally broke the SSD connector. Here is a pic of the broken connector. [​IMG]

    Here is the unbroken on (on the other side of the SSD).

    What can be done to fix it and / or recover the data?

    I'm not sure how to fix, but to recover data, you could use a "ssd to usb" adapter and plug the ssd into another computer.

    The vaio z ssd has a nonstandard connector. The above cable won't work.
