Step 5

  • Desolder the 2 Battery Wires
  • The Battery has two wires connected to the motherboard (one black and one red).
  • If you’re unfamiliar with soldering or desoldering check out this guide.
  • Be sure to wear protective eye wear. The soldering iron will become extremely hot and a potential danger, so make sure you are aware of your surroundings.
