Is there anything special about reassembly one should be aware of? I have read that side buttons are an issue. Tips for reassembly, or what to watch closely would be handy. Thanks!

At the start of this procedure it stated to remove the battery. I never saw the battery being removed, or the power cable from the battery being disconnected from the board to isolate the power from the phone. Is this step necessary to replacing the charging port card. I know that the battery can be a bear removing it from the phone.
