I have a damaged battery sensor flex cable

Can that cable be replaced?

I'm dealing with a customer's computer that had a tiny bit of liquid damage on that connector. I can't see if that cable is removable.

Jorge marroquin - I’ve never needed replace it and I don’t have a system to look at. But, I think it could be removable if you can find another battery to steal the cable from.

The connection is on the other side of the battery board, under the insulator sheet.

Carefully peal off the sheet and take a picture so we can see what Apple did. It might be just soldered. Also take a picture of the damage maybe we can figure out how to fix it. Post both here Adding images to an existing question
