Chosen Solution
Hello wonderful people of ifixit.com, I attempted to disconnect my battery from my Asus Strix GL702VM laptop, by following this tutorial from a community member. However, one simple oversight in the tutorial led me to rip the motherboard connection to the battery. (As seen in pictures below) The laptop still works perfectly fine, except it now has no battery (evidently) Is it possible that the connector could be Re-soldered to the motherboard, so I can use my battery once again? And if so, is it better to do it myself, or to outsource it to some specialist (bearing in mind I’ve never touched a soldering iron before) Any help would be appreciated, Thank you P.S. Apologies if this post is a little long
(This last image is where I’ve tried to line the connector up to where it’s meant to be. )
now the pictures are a little low rez, so its difficult to say, but it LOOKS like your pads have been torn from the board on at least 2 of the pins. IF this is the case you will need to reconstruct the pins, or jump wires to their nearest connecting node. (need the Wiring diagram to find those) Howeverm if not, reattaching it is a simple job, one pin at a time with basic soldering techniques. a quick youtube tutorial on soldering would be all you need.
i do these reconstruction jobs a lot. yes you ripped up two middle pins, no the pins can not be replaced, thus you will need a good micro scope and some micro wire and jumper the wire to the copper contacts at the end of both traces. Better not even attempted by a non professional. it is a complicated process that requires exact tools and know how to do it or you could further damage the motherboard.
