How to fix a broken battery connector pin?

I have a MacBook Pro 17” (mid-2009, Model A1297). I have successfully replaced the battery three times in the past.

Today, as I attempted to plug in a new battery, two of the thirteen pins in the battery connector on the main logic board got bent. Though I was extremely cautious and careful in trying to bend them back straight using tiny tweezers, they both broke off.

My options don’t appear good. As I see it, I could buy a new logic board (which appear to be about $430+ on Amazon); or I could go to someplace like MicroCenter and let them fix it for a $ amount I can only imagine.

Are there any other viable options? For example, is it possible to de-solder the old battery connector off the logic board and solder on a new one (assuming one could find a replacement connector)?

Please help with any ideas.

Thanks

Yes it's possible to solder a new one; you will most likely need to desolder one from a donor/dead board and move it across to yours. You can heat the opposite side of the logic board to remove this without melting the plastic connector. Not aware of a source for new ones, I just remove from donors if I ever need connectors like this

I'm in the same boat, and struggling to find a new socket, so now looking for a donor logic board to salvage the port from.

Does anyone know what the part number for this component is as I have the same problem ?

@stuart1 the connector is listed as a GS731301047E7H but it might be easier to buy an old/broken board and use that to harvest the connector from.
