Hi, after dropping my thinkpad, the battery got slightly messed up. I have to move a battery pin to have it fit in the slot, the battery charging status is often not read by Linux, and sometimes power won't be received even without the battery. I'm hoping the solution would just be figuring out how to remove the pin stuck in the motherboard slot (attempts so far have evaded me) and getting a new battery, but what does it look like to you? Thanks!
uh probably yes, but I think it's probably just the connector's contact on the bms (battery management system) or motherboard that are bad. You could try seeing if they wiggle and solder them back in place if they are broken.
taking apart lenovo batteries are notoriously hard though, so it's probably better to just get a new one
