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. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.frame.work/t/redesign-battery-connector/10163)._
