Oki 320/1 Turbo -- Mangled Connector Contact

This doesn't happen often, but it happens.

A flat cable connector contact pulls up with the cable.

With the aid of a fine pick and an 0.008" feeler gauge leaf, it's usually possible to coax the contact back into place, like so.

Closely inspect the refitted contact with a magnifier to make certain that it's well enough in place, and not shorting to an adjacent contact.

Also, inspect the cable end that was in the connector, and give it whatever 'tweaking' may be needed to make it reinsertable.

The connector and cable end may or may not survive another disconnection, but they'll go back together at least once and function.
