My MacBook air (2011 13”) battery connector on the logic board has snapped off. Im struggling to find this part anywhere. Is there an aftermarket compatible part that will fit. I have read that some people have managed to fit an S9B-ZR-SM4A-TF connector for some of the macbooks but it doesn’t appear to be an exact fit. Anyone know of a part that will work, or where to get an exact battery connector. I have read suggestions around soldering the battery wires directly onto the connector points on logic board but I don’t really want to do this.
In the end I bought an S9B-ZR-SM4A-TF connector and soldered it on to the board and this has fixed the problem. It’s not a perfect fit for MacBook airs but I managed to get it on. Problem solved.
Either way, it requires soldering to the logic board and it’s not a particularly easy one if you have to solder the connector back in place. If you lost the original part you can try on Aliexpress, or take it from any Macbook Air board for parts, they’re all the same.
