My trusty old 60GB Zen Vision M seems to have died for the last time. For several years I’ve been dropping it at least once a month, and it held up great. Once in a while it’d start skipping in a video and I’d open it up, reinsert the hard drive ribbon, and voila! Good as new (minus a few scratches). But this last time it gave me a firmware error message, and even after reloading the firmware it still wouldn’t work. I tried my usual fix, but nada. So I tried something else and somehow in all this the female battery connector on the circuit board broke off. I tried using glue (it was late, I was tired, and had no soldering iron…Idiotic, I know…), but while it worked for a few minutes, it broke off when I closed the thing up again, and I don’t know how to get the glue off (Loctite Super Glue) so that I can try soldering it back in place. If you know how to get superglue off electronic parts PLEASE let me know. Otherwise, where can I get just the connectors?

PS how can I anonymously post a picture of the part online?
PPS It’s a Li-Ion battery, charged the same way as an iPod.
Here are pics of the parts, f=female part, m=male; sorry, the photos are not great quality..

I have a 89 Camaro RS that has electrical issues up the wazoo. The previous owner hotwired different circuits to bypass a failing computer. So i paid 0 to get the wiring put back to factory, but now I have another problem.

Driving down the road one day, my car suddenly lost all power and sputtered to a stop. I was on my way back to work and was in a hurry. It ended up starting back up like normal after a few minutes and continued driving. Not much further it died again and didn’t turn back on.

I don’t have hazard lights, any ignition response whatsoever, radio, power windows, or gauges. I do have head lights and lights backlighting the gauges. My rear hatch opens, and other than that it is all out. I checked to make sure the battery terminal was connected.

I am definitely not an electrician and would like to receive some sort of guidance regarding this frustrating situation. Thanks in advance.
Any links to pictures would be helpful
