If you don't have a friend that can solder...Make One Fast...okay I'm kidding. Seriously. The carriage appears intact. you probably just have to have the leads re-soldered. I can't see all the angles but it looks like the carriage just came away from the Board. I'm working on a laptop right now from a different manufacturer where the CMOS cell is actually soldered to the board. What I'm driving at is this: It is not unusual for a CMOS battery problem to make a trip to the soldering station. if you have a mom n' pop shop in the area or a friend with an ELECTRIC soldering iron you can use a 12-18watt setting ...228-255F if you happen to have a thermistor handy. If none of this is going to "cut the mustard" you're looking at a new mainboard.
You'll be hard pressed to get a "It will work if you do this." answer. But if you take a picture of HOW it's broken I might be able to provide an idea or two. Not making any promises or guarantees though.
Thank you for the suggestion. Fortunately, my father can solder. Besides, my father also have the electric soldering iron and the thermistor. And it is no sweat to success.
Unfortunately, I am facing another problem. Since I solder the carriage, my computer will suddenly turn off when I'm using. I tried to restart the computer but I get the same result.
I had a similar problem that I created for myself when I replaced the cmos battery in my Dell 1558. I used a very small amount of 2 part epoxy to anchor the cmos holder back down, and the computer now works fine with no date/time problems. I suggest making sure to avoid putting glue near any of the electrical connections, of course. Good luck!
What I think is happening is the CMOS contact with the board is intermittent. The mainboard is designed to protect itself against things like voltage deviation beyond operating parameters...so it shuts down. It appears by the images that you may need to adjust the heat...that little tapering point at the end of that solder joint indicates the solder is cold before the tip ever leaves the pool. See if you can get whoever soldered that to touch up on the heat and just MELT that bead. It should look like a smooth puddle of delicious silvery goodness and have no real 3 dimensional shape at all. Give that a go and I'm guessing you'll have it running again before the iron is cold.
If that helped please don't forget to hit the YES button and if you need further assistance don't hesitate to contact.
PS EPOXY only works if all the electrical connections are intact and you only need to re-mount the carriage....in which case it's a good idea to pool the joints again anyway.
I already overcome the problem. Overheat was the problem that made my computer suddenly shut down. So, I bought a cooling fan for the computer and it just works fine. Don't worry about it.

OH Dear!!!

If this helped please remember to hit the YES button and keep me posted after your father solders that carriage back on. Good Luck!

All of this pictures are my father solders that carriage back on. The time in the computer back to normal now. Once again, thank you for your help.
