    • In this step you will disconnect the battery to help avoid shorting out any components during service.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both short sides of the battery connector upward to disconnect it from its socket on the logic board.

    • Bend the battery cable slightly away from the logic board so the connector will not accidentally contact its socket.

I too broke the socket of trying to pry open the retaining flap. Yes there is a warning “Be sure you are prying up on the hinged retaining flap, not the socket itself.” But there needs to be a much better picture/description of how to DO this on step 9. Without a reference on what/where the retaining flap is, there is a big danger of breaking it. Now my computer is toast.
