Thank you very much for the instructions. I was totally in the blind about what to unplug or not.
Thanks for the instructions. I don’t know if mine is newer or older but the bus cable turns 90 degrees and goes under the keyboard cable so step 6 really wasn’t necessary. A plastic putty knife slid under old battery loosening the adhesive so you can slide it out from under the bus cable.
Super helpful- worked great!
