Short circuit. Battery not charging.

[PhilT1365]

After removing battery contact board plastic. My screwdriver accidentally fell and touched the battery board. And it short circuited. But I disconnected the battery connector out of its socket on the logic board before doing that. Now my battery doesn't charge. My laptop doesn't work without charger now. Shuts after a few minutes of use. Can i fix it without sending it for repairs?

The red dot indicates there may have been liquid damage at some point (usually it is white, it turns red upon contact with liquid). It could be related.
