I posted my question in the forum 4 days ago and I haven't got any answers yet.

    Very interesting...
    I tore one of those connections off my own laptop a few months ago. :(
    I levered it in what should have been the right way?
    But it came away so easily...
    When I finally disconnected the two halves later.
    I was amazed, how it had stayed in place while I tore the whole thing away!
    I am not generally bad at assembly etc.
    But that connection was so flimsy.

Is there some sort of tracing thing I can do similiar to what you did with the pads or not ? Thanks.

    Be Careful when replacing the battery on your Asus laptop. The battery connector on the motherboard has a metal cover that must be released before pulling up on the battery cable. The connector is weak. A Broken connectors with missing pads is a very common repair that we do especially on Asus laptops. I don't know if it's the user to Blame or the connector design.

    @MrDrokkul Před 2 lety +2

    So what causes this? Is it a person trying to remove the battery too forcefully? Looking at that connector I would guess you have to pull the battery straight back from the connector to have the pins slide out. I assume it's also best to hold the connector down while doing this as well to help alleviate extra stress on it.

    • @Jerupitus
      @Jerupitus Před 2 lety +6

      I'm not NF but I repair laptops for a living and that battery connector has a locking mechanism you have to slide back before disconnecting the battery cable, which is the metal piece he removed before soldering it down. My guess is that people are neglecting to disengage the locking mechanism before attempting to unplug the battery which ends up ripping the pads.

    • @davidlguerr
      @davidlguerr Před 2 lety +5

      The reason why the connector was ripped off the board, is because most users do not know that in order to unlock the battery connector you need to slide that metal lock. It happens alot because alot of unexperienced users are trying DYI in the IT world.
