    should i keep it like that (i can still plug it in with extreme caution, works) or risk the fact ill ruin it by bending it back lol <--- just another dumb option isnt it?

    I assume since you tried plugging it in and it works, you already copied your data off of it?

    It looks like only the connector got out of the casing, so you should be able to GENTLY put it back in. Anyway, since you have all your data backed up you have nothing to lose (except a few $$$). If you keep using it that way I am sure you will break something else soon, for example a cable.

    i'll have to go with the consensus here. you can still get it to work, but you never know when it might die on you.
