    • These photos show what the battery connector looks like underneath the logic board. Use these photos as a reference while you safely disconnect the battery.

    • Notice that the battery connector has cantilever springs on the logic board that press against the battery contact pads. Since both the logic board and battery are glued down, you'll need to slide something thin and flexible between the contact points to disconnect the battery.

    • Insert the card strips under each side of the battery connector.

    • If you can't slide the cards under the battery connector, use an opening pick to lift the connector enough to insert the card strips.
