              Motherboard Replacement
  • Disconnect the battery from the motherboard, but leave the battery on the display panel (unless you have already taken it off).

  • If you are inexperienced with disconnecting everything, “Recognizing and Disconnecting Cable Connectors” is a helpful ifixit guide.
