Oops! :( Some batteries have strips of metal spot welded onto them and then soldered into the board. If that's what you have, pulling it out of the board probably did some internal damage that you may not be able to repair. Having said that, the word "connector" really doesn't apply to that type of installation. > > >> Having to pay someone for repairing the computer could cost more than it >> is worth.
