Before you start with the repair, make sure to disconnect the battery from the charger to avoid damaging your phone.

Place a spudger or an opening pick under the connector's edge and pry straight up to disconnect the battery.

Make sure to pry under the edge of the connector itself, and not under the socket on the board. Otherwise, you risk permanently damaging the socket.

Work carefully: don't pry on or accidentally scrape any small, surface mounted components on the board.

To reconnect, align the connector carefully over its socket and press down with your fingertip—first on one side, then the other—until it clicks into place. Don't try to force the connector into place. If you're having trouble, reposition it and try again.

Don't 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.
