MacBook Neo Battery Disconnect - iFixit Repair Guide

Introduction

Prerequisite only guide to disconnect the battery in a MacBook Neo.

What you need

1. Step 1 Remove the battery connector cover
  Use a Torx Plus 3IP driver to remove the two 1.7 mm‑long screws securing the battery connector cover.
  
  While the MacBook Neo uses Torx Plus screws, standard Torx bits also work (T3 in place of 3IP, for example). Apply constant, downward force to prevent stripping the screw.

4. Step 3 Disconnect the battery
  Use the flat end of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery press connector.
  
  To reconnect, align the connector carefully over its socket and press down—first on one of the short sides, then the other—until it clicks into place. Don't try to force the connector into place. If you're having trouble, reposition it and try again.
