I broke off the tiny tab on the left side at the end of step 6 :( Now what? What is the function of that tab? The battery seems to have completely failed and I'm only trying to replace it so I can power up just long enough to retrieve the data and pics I never backed up (kicking myself hard for putting that off over and over>_<). Someone please help. I'm on a roller coaster of hope and devastation with this thing.

I broke off the tiny left side tab at the end of step 6 :( Now what? I'm trying to replace the battery as it seems to have failed completely. I already upgraded to a new phone, but I need to get this lg to power up long enough for me to backup all the $@$* I should have had backed up from the start. What does that tiny side tab do? Will it have a major effect? Someone please help. I'm on a roller coaster of hope and devastation trying to retrieve important data and pics.
