Hey everyone. I was taking apart my rapid and this happened. Can this be fixed? If so how can I do it? Any help would be amazing. Thanks.

Not going to be a pretty repair, but you could solder the wires direct to the board/tracks.

Suck the solder off the pins, bend them straight, use a circuit writer or similar to repair the contacts and re-solder.

Shameless plug, but you can totally fix it super easily. Fellow member had the exact same problem, fixed it up for him.
