• Always power down your device prior to working on it
• Always unplug the battery before you remove any other parts, and keep metal tools away from the battery. Never bend, crush or puncture it
• The bottom case screws are P5. Track your screws on a magnetic work mat or tape them to a drawing of your laptop, as they are two lengths
• Pop the cable straight up off its logic board socket with a spudger. Lift the connector, never the socket
• The cable is stuck to the battery. Warm it with an iOpener and peel it up slowly. Never lever against the battery cells
• Release the ZIF connector at the trackpad end with tweezers and slide the old cable out
• Bend the new cable to the same shape as the old one before you fit it, so it sits flat under the bottom case
• A T5 screw on the battery board comes out on the way, so keep it with the bottom case screws
