I thought because it was pointless because I needed a picture of the motherboard and I couldn't find out the motherboard name so I just posted it here.

That will only work if the core logic actually has support for the x16 lane and they just mysteriously didn't put the connector on.
That and soldering that on will be a major pain in the arse

The manufacturer.... electronics stores... it'd be hard to find one, it being such a specialty item

unlikely it will work. the BIOS also has to be programmed for use of the PCI-E slot AFAIK.

IMO, i don't think it'll work. it'll take somebody extremely skilled to be able to pull that task off.

I imagine a schematic with the correct pin configuration would be a must

The pins are there, it just has to be put in its spot and solder away.... but you'd need a REALLY steady hand, a magnifying glass, and a really expensive and good/fine tipped soldering iron.
If you get it soldered on can you post pics?
