I have got the laptop back from the service center. They were able to successfully repair the cable. I have attached a photo of the repaired cable. Note that they seem to have grounded the black wire in a different way.
Nevertheless, the battery is charging now and the laptop is pretty much normal. While the service charges were higher than what I had expected, it was about 50% of what I would have paid for an new battery. So not all that bad. Also they gave the hardware a general checkup and according to them there are no serious problems but the mic is not working. I'll have to...

Thank You.Leave a comment:

Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK, 80U00002US battery cable wire broken.

Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was... -
Hi,
A little bit about myself:
Non-expert in computer hardware. I have been programming (C++ and Matlab for one reason or the other) since the early 2000's. Except for my first desktop: (Cyrix 6x86 processor with a whopping 16MB of RAM and 2GB Hard Drive with Windows 95 bought in 1997), I have always assembled my own desktops (4 so far from 2002). Current Desktop is based on an ASUS motherboard with Ryzen 3700X, 32 GB RAM. Never used a laptop until I had to get one for my wife in 2016. Now she is on her second Laptop. Mathematics is both a hobby and a profession and I generally...Leave a comment:
