Depending on your model, the battery cable can vary in length. If your battery cable is short, be extra careful not to strain it during the following steps to avoid damaging the connector.

Lift the battery up and shift it out of the way to gain access to the battery connector. Don't try to completely remove it just yet—it's still connected to the device.

During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your device and test your repair before reinstalling the fabric cover.
