How did it break? If it is your fault, then no. If it is due to a manufacturing defect, then yes. Telling the RMA department a lie in order to get an RMA is immoral and possibly illegal as well.

Solder it back on? Insert the missing pin into the IDE plug and hope that enough physical contact is made.

I didnt say lie. I said a good story. Maybe It broke and that was a good story.


I will try that thank you.


Well I mean If it broke easily then that could be construed as a manufacture defect. no?

Broke off easily, no, that would not be a defect it would be more like "handle with care". A defect would be if it just fell off, not broke off easily.
