Insert the card strips under each side of the battery connector.

If you can't slide the cards under the battery connector, use an opening pick to gently lift the connector to help insert the card strips.

Don't pry or lift the connector too much—it's soldered onto the logic board and may break if stressed.

During reassembly, this is a good time to apply replacement adhesive, if you have it. Follow this guide to clean your screen and apply new adhesive strips.
