    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the battery's connector up, directly out of its socket.

    • Alternatively, grip the battery connector pull tab with your fingers and lift straight up to disconnect it.

    • During reassembly, line the connector up with the socket and push down gently with a finger to reconnect it.

    • The connector should seat in place with minimal resistance. If it feels difficult to reconnect, realign the connector and try again.
