can you get an additional photo of the laptop's connector, can't make out what the issue is from this angle.
did something similar with a battery for an old macbook (same connector as pictured) and what I did was transplant it from a non-functioning battery. a word of warning, don't dick around with fixing that connector with a fully loaded battery, shorting it can result in a burn-you-house-down mishap, them things can't be extinguished once they catch fire.
Is this photo what you were looking for?
Thanks for the warning!
~~I still don't see what the issue is with the laptop side, looks stock to me.~~ the plastic that got broken off is from the battery's connector and it hinders the bent pin to make solid contact with the laptop side, right? short of superglueing/epoxying it in place and straightening out the bent pin, don't see what else there is to be done.
edit: nevermind, you answered that already in another reply.
