Disconnect the main power connector

Use the flat end of your spudger to lift the main battery connector away from the battery board, disconnecting the battery.
Lift the connector high enough that it doesn't accidentally make contact during the repair, but no more than 45 degrees to prevent breaking it.
For added safety, place a non-conductive barrier, such as a piece of a playing card, between the connector and board.
