I did the same thing. Replaced internal HD but accidentally broke off fan connector. The mini is otherwise fully functional, but without the fan, runs at close to 90 degC all the time, which is probably not good for the continued life of the mini. But given the repair prices quoted on this site, it's more cost effective to buy a whole refurbished 2012 mini (which is what I did).
can you make a video to show off the tools you used? like the soldering gun, flux, cleaning solution etc. tyvm
I have the same issue. Could you give me some idea if the cost? I mean for you to do this.
The cost is $80 + shipping
