    • Remove the three 1.3 mm Phillips #00 screws securing the connector shield to the logic board.

    • On reassembly, be sure not to substitute these three screws for the similar screws used to attach the large LCD shield. Those slightly longer screws will break the screw brackets and damage the motherboard.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to gently pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

    • Be very careful to only pry up on the battery connector and not on the socket itself. If you pry up on the logic board socket, you may break the connector entirely.
