Step 3
– Grab a Phillips #00 screwdriver and use it to unscrew the four 3.2mm screws. Easy, right? Just take it slow and steady.
Step 4
Be gentle here! Tugging too hard might mess up the connector on the circuit board. Grab a spudger or tweezers, press down on the black connector on the board, and carefully pry the battery connector loose. That connector is super fragile, so take it slow and steady.
– Gently wiggle the red, blue, and black cables free by lifting up on the white connector attached to the motherboard. You’ve got this!
– If you’re opting for a finger approach, just remember to pull evenly across the whole width of the cable to keep those wires happy and unstrained.
Step 5
– Grab your trusty nylon spudger and gently slide it under the edges of the battery. A little prying, and it should pop right out—easy does it!
