I have had good results with super glue if you enough of the original plastic to hold in place till it sets - usually about a minute. Even when it not recommended for plastic it often works. Vic.

Do any of you repair people know specifically what the name and/or part number of the connector used on the iMac Down Converter board is? This is the same connector used on the Rev A thru D to connect power to the little power filter unit mounted under the logic board. It looks kind of like an ATX power connector but is smaller.
I have an iMac (Rev E, 350 MHz slot load), that appears to be fine other than this connector is broken. It looks like someone forcefully removed the board without pressing the release tab. The plastic is cracked so it won't keep a good connection.
I'd like to desolder the broken one and replace it, but all I can find is that it is made by Foxconn and after hours of searching their web site, I'm no closer to locating the actual connector.
So maybe one of you know a part number on it, or know what the connector style is called so I can narrow my search.
