I'll try and upload photos but for now basicly what's happened is I glued the blu ray player ribbon in place because the tab broke but then ribbon got ripped off and I can't get a new ribbon in because bits of the old one are still in there this is the bit on the motherboard do I need a new PS3 motherboard altogether or can I replace the connector. There is also glue on the motherboard is this bad.
YOU CAN SEE THE GLUE ON THE MOTHERBOARD FROM THE GRAY AND CLEAR SHINY AREAS ON THE BOARD CAN ANYONE HELP!!!

Your pictures are absolutely useless.

2 questions.

1. Why the 🤬 are you in there dicking around with connectors in the first place?

Well, OK, I lied about how many questions, because that's the only one.

From your description it appears that you broke the cable that plugs in to this connector. As an end user you will NOT be able to buy just that cable, or even the assembly it comes from. Even if you could I doubt (from what I've seen of your skillz with electronic components) you'd be able to connect it properly at the other end.

By a new PS3. That is all.

OK, I came up with a second question.

Why the 🤬 would you think gluing a connector, something designed to be able to disconnect, would be a Good Thing to do??!??!?!
 
I am not trying to sound rude but like wfooshee said. Why on earth did you open it and why on earth did you glue it back?

Again like wfooshee said it would be hard to find these parts for sale. You can try finding a local ps3 repair store and see if they can fix it.

Or just buy a new PS3.

There is nothing wrong with opening your PS3 up and taking a look or trying to clean it but you must be careful on what you do.

Isn't it possible to clean up the glue?
 
I can sum this up in just 2 words ..... "your screwed"

Time for a new PS3.
