Any idea what type of pcb header is on the board for the battery? I have a motherboard with a broken header but I cant source a replacement
This is where I screwed up so I recommend extra caution for other newbies. Only the black part is supposed to come off. Don't be an idiot like me and pry off too much...
Yea I messed up there too. Is there a way to fix it?

Screwdriver is metal, obviously, so being gentle helps to avoid damaging anything.
