    I have an Alienware MJ12 M7700i. I had the keyboard off of it and when reinstalling it the connector attatching the ribbon cable to the mo-board broke off!!!

    Is there someone I can send it in to have it "ultrasonicly" soldered back on?

    How much would the equipment to do the job cost?

    The equipment would probably cost about the same as or a bit more than getting a pro to repair it. Plus, unless you're experienced with board-level micro soldering, it's not something for the average home user. Do some research and find a good laptop repair place. There's a place in CA called Laptop Rescuer that does pretty good board level repairs, and they have a "if we can't fix it, you don't pay" policy. Many places will charge a diagnostic fee or they have a service charge just to look at it.
