Here's what to do:
Buy or borrow a pin extractor tool. Insert the extractor around the
female pin, to the bottom of the connector. move the tool to a slight
angle and make a circular motion. This will close the splayed pins.
NOTE: Just close it up, don't kill it.
If this doesn't work, there might be a defective crimp on the
connection, with a broken wire. In which case, replace the "Y", or P/S
pins, as applicable.
I don't think there are any really good "y"s available, but you could
make your own, albiet, you'll still be using tin pins, but better wire
and crimping.
