Hi all. Bought a new battery for a MacBook Pro that I got as faulty - it works great without the battery. Thought a new battery will get it back to normal, but seems like I found why it is not detected - this cable is seemingly snapped.
There is no continuity between plus pin and any other parts on the motherboard. And it feels really loose - absolutely not the way it should be.
Also there is no 12V on the pins when laptop is on but there used to be.

Seems like it is possible to replace it with hot air - is that so?
What is the name of that part? Can it be purchased?

UPDATE:
So of course I soldered a replacement nicely and it works, but MacBook still won’t detect battery data. It won’t start on the battery, but if I start it with power plugged in and then remove it - it keeps on working from the battery.
However it won’t show any battery data or charge level.
Also I noticed that this chip on the flex cable is getting hot to around 50º C when Mac works. Checked nearby caps - no short. Maybe normal, but who knows.

Any idea what it does?

***One more thing: trackpad is disconnected can this fact somehow influence battery operation?***
And in general any good ideas are greatly appreciated 🙌🏻.
