I tried changing my battery but broke the battery connector pins by using the plastic battery blocker. Re soldered in a new connector, but now I think I mangled the smart connector plug badly trying to get to click in. Can I just leave it disconnected and cover the port on the battery with capton tape? I don’t use that feature anyway.
I would recommend connecting it so the iPad doesn’t show an error, being as it may need it to function normally.
Hello, Did you ever figure this out? I was told by a tech that it didn’t need to be connected but I don’t like that idea and have ordered a new flex connector. What’s unclear is how you remove the clip holding the contacts in place.
