Hi, after dropping my thinkpad, the battery got slightly messed up. I have to move a battery pin to have it fit in the slot, the battery charging status is often not read by Linux, and sometimes power won't be received even without the battery. I'm hoping the solution would just be figuring out how to remove the pin stuck in the motherboard slot (attempts so far have evaded me) and getting a new battery, but what does it look like to you? Thanks!
~~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.
