C2D Black Logic Board Connectors – Name and Where to buy?

I have a MacBook Pro 17" Core Duo 2.16Ghz with a broken logic board (video memory). I read that the Core 2 Duo 2.33 logic board would fit in the same case – so I bought one from eBay.

However… It turns out that there's a couple of connectors that are different between the two models…

Three 4pin - connectors
Three 2pin - connectors

The Core Duo have old white ones and the Core 2 Duo have new black ones.

What's the name of the new black connector type that I need for my cables?
Can I order these connectors somewhere? (Yes!?!)

I'm not going to let a couple of plastic connectors stop me from getting my precious MBP back to life! Especially not after an $550 investment in a new logic board from a different continent

I'm not sure what all you would have to get to make that board work in your machine. There are several differences including the cables and possibly the casing.

I already have the board and it's the six cables or rather the connectors that are different, everything else fits in the casing like it should. Yo have no idea where I can buy these "snap-in" connectors? Seems like I can't buy them anywhere as the Apple policy is to only change whole parts. What's the cheapest part with this cable connector attached that I can buy from you? CMOS battery?

Thanks,
Robert
