Broken connector on motherboard, help.

Hi everyone, so I decided to go full idiot and today I did this

I've got the other 3 working fine but I want to be sure this won't affect any components.

Is it ok to keep using the motherboard or should I get a new one?

Thank you in advance.

If you don't need the sata port your fine

Ooops. As long as you don't need the port, it's nothing to worry about.

If you have the soldering skills, just desolder the broken sata connector and fit a new one. I did this and it worked perfectly. I then promptly fitted an M.2 drive which disabled the repaired sata port, ffs.
