Hi, While changing SSD drive I ripped of one of the small connectors just above the battery, what is the best way of repairing the issue. I already got the advise of finding someone to soldering , but this will be unlikely the small contactor is embedded in a plastic body. I thought trying to keep connector on its contacts with the help of black electrical tape. When dismounting the parts at the opening there is such tape strip on top which covers whole the connection area. Added link to the pictures. Thank you for your suggestions.

It is the contact marked J123V next to TP 6 on the first picture, the second picture is the part which broke off. Regards, Marc
The connector you broken off is the battery board data cable connector on the battery unit.
