I was hoping to just change the plastic housing? and not the wires,
just waiting for a price etc, cant believe the amount of screws used to hold all the parts quite an interesting job tbh.

the black socket is part of the flat cable that plugs under the mainboard and is all one part,

i do it for a living and its quite a varied job with new models coming out all the time

ok more screws to remove then lol...........i'm a bit worried about it going back together ok, its a bit different to a desktop system eh.

cheers for the help matey
