How to connect battery daughter board ribbon after replacing battery.
I replace my battery (2017 MacBook pro 13") and can't connect the daughter board ribbon cable. I ordered a new cable and it doesn't work either. Suggestions?

Review Step 11 in this guide 2017年款带功能键 的13寸 MacBook Pro 电池更换 note how the ZIF connector latch needs to be up and then carefully folded down to compress the ribbon cable.
Did the latch come off so you can’t compress the cable? Or did you pull the entire connector off the battery or logic board? It doesn’t take much to pull it off.

Will it break the connection point if you rip it out without the locks because i followed a youtube guide and did that and now the cables wont work for both new and old battery and i dont want to have ruined my logic board :(
Or will it mess up the cable itself?

@chris58711 - The ZIF connector is a compression type, so if you pull on the cable like removing a letter from an envelope sliding it out normally it will just slide out. But just like an envelope glue or pulling to the side can stop it clearing and clearly pulling on it too hard can make things worse!
Of course, a closed latch won’t allow the ribbon cable enough space to enter, so you do need to release the compression by carefully lifting the latch tab.
Of course you need the largest Crowbar you can find - NO this only needs a small feather quill to lift so go easy here! And don’t over extend the lift as the latch can snap out and go flying across your desk and onto the floor!
If the connector comes fully off or is damaged that will require replacing which then gets complicated and costly! Here you will need someone with the deeper skills and tools to replace the connector and my require patching as the solder pads can become damaged.
The cable is not hard to replace the end that gets taken loose to replace the battery. The battery I bought off ebay that was a genuine Apple replacement battery didn’t have a cable on the new battery. The small end is a real b___h to replace and I am still working on mine. Spent more time on this piece of crap that the entire rest of the battery replacement. My debate noe is whether to buy another Apple product. Good Luck!!

@jonsie - Sorry to tell you what you bought on eBay is not a genuine Apple battery. Apple never offered their batteries for sale unless it was via a repair at an authorized services center or Apple Store.
Hi Steven,
Can you post some pictures of where the cable is supposed to connect to the motherboard?
What exactly do you mean when you say you can't connect it? Is it that it won't go into the connector, or doesn't fit, or there's no connector where it's supposed to be, etc.?

I have the same question, I’m surprised there is no answer.

@elainefarg97614 - I think Steve identified the problem with the cable.
