ASUS motherboard – battery connector broke off the board. Is this repairable?

Hi everyone,

unfortunately, the battery connector on my ASUS motherboard broke off directly from the board.

The connector didn’t just come loose — it actually broke off the PCB. I’m wondering whether this can still be repaired, for example by soldering the connector back on.

Does anyone have experience with this kind of repair?

  • Is there generally a chance that the battery connector can be soldered back on?
  • Is it still repairable if some of the solder pads on the motherboard are damaged or ripped off?
  • Would it be worth taking it to a repair shop that does microsoldering / motherboard repairs?

I can also upload photos of the damaged area and the broken connector if that helps with assessing it.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
