Anyone know a trusted place to get a PCIe slot replaced on a motherboard
I attempted to cut out the back of a PCIe x1 slot to fit a longer card (as absurd as this sounds, this actually will work in most circumstances, albeit with the card running with less bandwidth). Unfortunately, I didn't make the slit quite wide enough, and the slot cracked in half when I attempted to insert a PCIe x4 card, so now no cards work in the slot. I could buy a replacement slot easily enough (and ones with the back open to accept longer cards exist), but I do not trust my amateur soldering skills to replace the old one, especially not on a board I rely on daily for work. Does anyone know of a trusted place where I could get this work done in a short amount of time?
