Dell 0G0PMP charging cable condition advice

Dear Repair Community,

First of all, I would like to wish Everyone a Happy International Repair Day!

This is the day we unite and share our philosophy that our Planet Earth doesn't have to become the planet of e-waste but a place for a better future.

Secondly, I surprised myself this week with a Dell Latitude 5310 that was claimed to be "refurbished." Sadly, I opened the laptop and I had to encounter multiple errors which I fixed, but still one remaining.

The battery connector cable is falling apart in a way that the first four cables our coming out from the plastic connector as you disconnect it from the socket of the Mobo. Now I managed to push them back as far as I could but when you pull the connector again, they are coming out.

As a result, I took out the battery [that was aftermarket also] together with the cable and I am currently using it without the battery inside.

My question is towards my community is, Should I buy a new cable? Or is it safe to use it this way? I would not use it as I presume it is worn out a little bit. I found on parts-people.com in stock the cable.

See below on the picture the condition of the connector.

Thank your very much Everyone and as always I am grateful for our community!

@mrkovacs that connector does look a little rough :-) I am frugal and would just use a thin strip of non-conductive tape to hold the connector in place. I would even consider a dap of glue from a hot glue gun on either end of the connector. Either one of those is easily removed if need should be. Of course, the proper repair would be to replace the cable :-)

Happy Repair Day to you as well. Remember : Repair is War on Entropy!

Hello there @oldturkey03 !! You were absolutely right. In the end I returned the machine to the company and reported to their quality officer how a proper refurbishment would look like. I hope they will learn a lesson from that and will provide more quality products towards the end user customers.

I am grateful and really appreciate your help on my question. !This is the way!
