As stated hot glue wont work !

Did the Connector break off the copper pads in the middle of the solder joint or did the copper pads literally peel off the circuit board ?

I cant be sure from those photos, but my guess is the copper tracks are gone.
I am wondering how that could have happened ?
It would take a fair amount of force or repeated extreme wiggling to do that ! Unless all those pads had bad dry joints.

Anyone who does surface mount repair work could do this for you - so probably any electronic repair workshop these days, but they will need to clean up the connector and the board - assuming the tracks are still there.
If the copper tracks/pads have torn off with the connector - then really you'll want a new board from SBIG.
Although it should be possible to repair it - my concern is more about how this could have happened and how to ensure it doesnt happen again.
