Disconnect both ends of the cable covering the battery by placing the tip of your opening tool or spudger under the edge of the connector and prying the connector straight up from its socket.

Be very careful to pry only under the edge of the connector, and not under the socket itself. If you pry under the socket, you will separate it from the circuit board, which requires specialized microsoldering skills and equipment to repair.

Remove the press fit cable.

To reconnect, align the connector carefully over its socket and press down with your fingertip—first at one side, then the other—until it clicks into place.

Do not press down on the middle of wider connectors until they're fully seated—if misaligned, the connector or the pins underneath can bend or break, causing permanent damage.
