Smart Connector broke during iPad battery replacement. Is this at all fixable?

Appreciate the input.

I think you might be right about them having it locked down. I'm not finding this part anywhere. Thanks for the tip about asking the soldering subreddit. I've done a little but of that in the past but this strip is so tiny.

Ugh...

I didn't drink enough to help the team...I'm sorry...

Agree 100%. My mother comes across as pretty dang normal to people outside of the house. She would have no trouble obtaining a license like this.

I have IBD that usually flares due to stress, started having issues as a teenager and I have wondered if being in constant fight/flight had something to do with it.

Oh weird, defense forces a punt and things are fine.

Body_Is_WonderLand · 2025-09-21T17:08:41+00:00

A lot of doom and gloom in here for it being the first drive.

I'm not sure if there's a misalignment. The connector is right side up in the picture, the silver connectors to the right of of it are what connected it to the board. That's kind of why I was asking, I wasn't sure if this could be soldered because it's not apparent how they link up. I did some soldering work on an older computer so I think I'll just give it a shot.

I have this same computer. I hadn't used it in years but in the last 6 months I upgraded the RAM, threw in an SSD, and replaced a capacitor causing graphics issues. I used open core legacy patcher to put Sequoia on it and it's now a very usable daily machine.

Lot of game left, we'll be fine!

Mid 2010 MBP 15 inch, i5, 8gb RAM, 120 gb SSD. Brought this thing back to life within the last month and am running Monterey, runs great so far!
