I can't believe it, well yes I can...

I was trying to save money by installing an internal DVD burner myself which required the removal of the cable from the secondary IDE MOBO to switch it for a longer one-- and the darn thing separated and broke off when I was tring to take it out. Half of the connector that was on the cable is now stuck in the secondary MOBO controller.

Any suggestions? As you can tell I'm new to working on computers! Thanks!
