Einleitung

This is a prerequisite-only guide! This guide is part of another procedure and is not meant to be used alone.

    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the three 1.2 mm screws securing the bottom cable shield to the logic board.

    • 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.

    • Cut two 6 mm wide strips from a playing card or cardstock to use as a battery blocker.

    • The strips should be about 4 cm long so you can easily grip them.

    • Insert the card strips on each side of the battery connector until they stop.

    I would like to add a bit of advice when it comes to isolating the battery from the board. As a repair tech, I recommend you insert a guitar pick next to the battery connector, rather than wedging something directly in between the battery and the connector, as you run the risk of damaging the connector. I see this happen fairly often amongst new techs and DIY-ers. If the battery connector does get damaged, it may result in the device not showing proper battery percentage (as in its a 1% all of the time) or the device may not power back on. If it does get damaged, it is completely fixable. But that should be carried out by a someone skilled in micro soldering.
