I accidentally "yanked" the micro usb connector of my Arduino pro micro clone while doing some project. I have successfully powered the board with attaching the GND and VCC wires to the external pins of the board. The problem is, I cannot get the computer to recognize the board... I have tried to connect the data pins on the pads but I think the pads came with the connector. I have also tried to connect the data pins in the resistor on the bottom left of the board. Any help is appreciated 
If you have another Arduino you could try programming via ICSP (google it).
You can also power it via the VIN and GND pins.
I do have another arduino and will be trying it! Thanks!
Still be looking for more solutions... I still need to send keystrokes through my computer
The serial pins are also still available for that purpose.
Might I suggest a little more homework on keyboard and arduino.
There are also other sources and methods too.
But without much detail such as keyboard stroke direction PC> Ardi or Ardi >PC it is hard to tell you where to begin.
How do I connect the serial pins to the computer without the data wires being hooked up?
connect to usb RX,TX,5V,GND to the corresponding pins on the board, then you should be able to connect it to computer like usual. you just won't have a neat connector which is simple to use.
I forgot to mention that you'll need a usb to serial breakout board.
Is this the breakout board?
Yes that is the correct board, but any USB to serial works fine to be honest.
Just make sure that whatever you get has both the CTR and CTS pins and preferably a 5V/3V switch as you could very well find more use for that down the road !
