I'm sure it's repairable. Probably just a case of buying matching wire and soldering it in as a replacement for the damaged one.

I don't think you have the chipset # correct. I have never heard of a cb2 chipset. Should be D2B or D2C chipset.

If it is a D2B chipset then all you need to do is solder onto the cut pins.

If it is a D2C chipset the chipset is not compatible with a Modchip so nothing will work.

You are also correct in that the wire you are talking about above is for the wi-fi.
