Disconnecting the battery connector

• 1 × 2,4 mm Y-Type
• 3 × 1,0 mm Y-Type
• Battery connector

Loosen the battery connector at the beginning of the repair. This will help prevent a possible short circuit and ensure that you don't accidentally turn on your iPhone 7 while you're working.

1. Use a Y-type screwdriver to loosen the four Y-type screws and then remove the bracket plate over the battery connector.

1. Now move a plastic lever tool under the exposed battery connector and carefully lift it off. We use a plastic spudger for this purpose.
