Hi there! I opened my laptop after I spilled a tiny amount of liquid in it… all good until I put everything back. Right at the end, by mistake, I pulled the cable from the BMU unit. One of the pins in the connector fell off. What are my options now? Please help …
Thank you…

Is this just the cable that has broken? If so you can find them on numerous sites for example on iFixit. If it is the actual connector on the logic board then you'll have to source a new connector from somewhere or someone who has a donor unit, and then find a specialist to remove / solder on the replacement..... This may prove to be a little hard to find.....Good luck!

It’s the connector on the BMU. Thank you

Yes the top part of the logic board connector (battery side) got pulled off. If you still have the piece you might be able to glue it back. But you will need to be very precise with the glue’s placement as it mustn’t interfere with the contacts or the latch. Replacing the connector is possible but it will take a hot air rework station and some skills to do it without making a bigger mess. Or, you just bite the bullet and replace the battery as the connector is on the battery side.
Either way I would remove the battery following this guide MacBook Pro 13" 2022 (M2) Battery Replacement as the person with the needed tool and skills only needs the battery and the needed connector BMU Cable Connector it’s also available from other sources. Or just replace the battery the guide offers the part info.
A better view on the connector

@danj I think you have confused yourself? The part you say is broken is on the logic board, you then say to replace the battery? This all makes no sense to me.....
@livfe - yes it’s on a circuit board which is part of the battery. I’ve added a better image to my answer so you can see.
@danj Ahhh OK better now, cheaper & easier solution!
