   Thank you.  I would gladly buy a dead circuit board from someone in order to   
   harvest the two-pin connectors.  That said, this has re-affirmed that I do not   
   know what I am doing when it comes to manipulating the innards of these   
   machines beyond removing    
   cards and installing cards.  Every time that I hear someone say "it's just a   
   little soldering" or "these machines are built tough," I am going to remember   
   this and remember that no, I really do not know what I am doing.  I can't work   
   with the insides of    
   these computers without wrecking them.  And I just re-learned that lesson the   
   hard way.   
      
   For that reason, is there anyone in New England who would do that sort of   
   soldering for a fee?  I would gladly drive this machine and, once I have it, a   
   dead circuit board with the necessary two-pin connector, to anyone willing to   
   do it.

   Two pin connectors are pretty common.
