Step 2

– Grab your trusty Phillips head screwdriver and unscrew those 6 little 4mm buddies holding the battery in place.

Step 3

– Grab your trusty Phillips head screwdriver and unscrew the 6 screws, each 4mm long, securing the motherboard in place. You’ve got this!

– Spot the 8 flex cables hooked up to the motherboard.

– With a nylon spudger, carefully pop each flex cable off the motherboard.

– Lift the motherboard out and set it aside.
