Anybody know of a source for the battery connector on the top system board? Do any other models share this same connector? The only markings on it are MX-IT and the number 3.
Picked up a 701C at an estate sale where the battery had leaked quite badly. I submerged the battery connector in vinegar to try and salvage it, but the electrolyte had eaten through one of the contacts. Realistically, I'll probably never be using the computer far from a wall socket but I'd like to keep the system as close to original as possible.

701C Battery Connector
Re: 701C Battery Connector
I had the same problem with mine. But I was lucky to have a spare motherboard. BUT a connector on that one was damaged too, so I de-soldered both, took two of pins out from one connector and installed in the other one. Surprisingly it worked and there was enough metal left on the pin to survive bending in the process. I have not managed to locate a seller of new ones. In your case I would recommend to find a suitable piece of metal, cut it in the form of the pin and install it. It might work.
