Why did you physically remove the battery? It seems like unplugging the battery’s CONO851 plug would be good enough? It’s funny, even in the photo where you remove the fan, the battery is still there.

I replaced the fan in my computer. As tshong said, I did not have to remove the battery. Just unplugged it then skipped steps 3 and 5. and voila.
