I own a Macbook, retina 12 inch, early 2015. I had to replace the battery. But when doing that, the connector of the wifi cable broke of the cable. I dont know how to connect the wifi cable connector to the cable, it is too small. Anyone who knows a sollution? Thank you.

You'll need some fine tools and some sort of hands free magnifying glass. Also some steady hands.

I believe the connector is an I-PEX connector. I don't know the exact size. I'm pretty sure those cables go into the display assembly. So, I don't think replacing the cable is an option.

In the future. Always pop the antenna at the base. Don't grab the leads. Preferably use a plastic spudger. When reinstalling. Use good quality tweezers to position it and push straight down.

update, after replacing the Macbook compelte broke. Think the dcu(or what is it called) needs to be replaced, that is going to be too expensive. Also, the screen had some white dots. SO it is going to be a decent Windows laptop again.
