Common problem. The solution is to strip off the plastic and resolder it and then tape it up. Not pretty, but it works.

It is a lousy power connector. Everyone I know with a 190/5300 has been able to bust it at least once. Unfortunately, despite its inherently poor design, it's not part of the REA. Only the internal power connector on the logic board is covered by the REA.
