Hi there.
I'm repairing a computer for a friend. He has a sony VIO pcg 61313l that fails to charge. I opened up the laptop with the solution in mind: find and replace the D/C power jack (most common laptop problem when it comes to charging problems). But before I put the money down on an replacement part order, I decided to reset the CMOS first before anything. So I tried to carefully pull out what I thought was the bios battery, but the cable pulled out of the little plastic socket insert, rendering the component useless unless replaced.
Now from my common computer knowledge I thought this was the bios battery, but from further inspection to the motherboard layout, it looks like the bios battery is hidden in the top left hinge corner? I'm a little confused as to what part's cables I broke and if it is possible to find a replacement part. Please take a look at the pictures for reference.
