I’m hoping someone has some advice. I have a laptop 13 with a damaged RTC battery socket and I’m looking for suggestions
The RTC battery died in my Laptop 13. I followed guides to confirm it had failed and bought a replacement ML 1220.
However I’ve had an issue where the RTC socket has been damaged in the process of changing the battery. I did remove the battery with SIM removal but I had issues inserting the new one.
I’ve had a look at the replacement battery module to see if that would work for me, but I discovered the soldering part of the process is beyond my skills.
I have seen where people have used tape to hold the battery in place. So I’ve tried securing it with Kapton tape.
At the moment I’m in a situation where the laptop will work if left attached to mains electricity or if disconnected for a short period of time. But beyond that it will not start.
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on getting a good connection between motherboard and battery
