    • Using the flat end of the spudger, carefully pry the battery cable out of its socket on the motherboard.

    • Use caution, as the wires are very fragile and could come out of the connector if pulled on too hard.

    I found that my battery cable socket is missing is there any replacement parts and how do I fix it?

Be very careful removing the screws - a Google search returns page after page of people who stripped their screws trying to remove the lower case or the power board. My lower case may be permanently attached now. If I did it over again, I would consider dripping a tiny amount of WD40 onto the screws and letting it seep in for a day before I tried removing them...
