I have noticed a couple of things on this article, so I figured i’d put them here.

The disconnection of the ZIF Ribbon cables doesn’t seem necessary for the repair at all, & the complete removal of the battery from the chassis is unnecessary as well.

The camera is a small, singular part that doesn’t connect to anything else.

For safety’s sake, I’d personally still recommend you disconnect the battery, to ensure there’s no power flowing through the system, but complete removal is highly unnecessary.
