Hi everyone,

I recently damaged a connector while replacing the battery in my laptop.

I was wondering if it would be possible to solder and desolder this connector using a hot air rework gun.

Has anyone had experience repairing this type of connector this way? Would it be safe, or is there a risk of damaging the motherboard?

Many thanks!

JOAN
