I know I'm not real descriptive I will take a pic of it tomorrow. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about though

Thanks

It is the infamous white ZIF socket. The big ribbon correct? You will need to check mouser or PM Armen for a replacement socket. Then there will be quite a bit of soldering. If you cant solder, then you have a paperweight.
