Step 4

  • Detach the red, blue, and black cables by prying up on the white connector from the motherboard.
  • If using fingers instead, pull evenly on the full width of the cable so the wires are not overly strained.
  • If you pull too hard you can damage the connector on the circuit board. Use a spudger or tweezers to push down on the black connector on the board while gently prying the battery connector loose. The connector breaks VERY easily.
