Yep. I 1,000% agree. I’m glad this post exists.
I broke a pin in the connector within hours of receiving the laptop. My fault: I did not check the online guide nor did I know disconnecting the battery was unnecessary.
That said: I have built PCs and upgraded them; the repair technician said just about anyone would break it. This should be changed.
This connector is bizarrely fragile. I bet the battery and the screen will be replaced the most by users. This flaw makes it harder to do.
Again, the break was my fault. But it’s still a weird connector to use.
