I was moving my computer into basement today, setting everything up when i did something pretty stupid. I have Logitech Z 540 speakers, so I went to plug the front right into subwoofer, its the main plug, so its got one of those plugs with all the little pins in it. Anyway it was dark and was going to plug it in, but couldnt see if it was the correct way or not, pushed it in a bit, it didnt fit, so i took it out, and noticed I had just bent one of the pins way put of place.

Anyway, i plugged it in, even with the 1 pin not connecting, and now only 3/4 speakers work. The Front left is ****ed. So what should i do?

I dont want to buy a whole new set, cause all i need is a new front right speaker.
 
get some tools, and fix it urself, just make it good enough to fit in and work correctly, dont try for something pretty if ur going to fix it..
a knife, some electrical tape, and ur figures to bend stuff..
 
Carefully bend it back into place and you should be fine. Hell I accidently bent a couple pins on one of my IDE Slots on the motherboard. I used my pocketknife to bend them back and no harm was done at all.

Thank oyu for your insight. How does it apply to his problem?

Ok i Did what you said with pocket knife and all works well now. Its not quite back in its original spot, but it fits in and it works. I managed to bend another one out of place as I was fixing the first lol, but i fixed that one as well. Anyway works fine now thanks for the help.
