    Oh yes… that battery “certainly” won’t be attached at this point... *wink* - I understand the logic of disconnecting the battery from the motherboard, but most electronics these days have batteries with connectors. For such a simple process, as long as you’re careful with the motherboard and the battery, leave it soldered on. You don’t want to risk damaging the motherboard with excessive heat, especially if you are intermediate in the art of soldering.
