    • Use a pair of tweezers to undo each of the four ribbon connectors.

    ON STEP 11

    Do not just pull the ribbons out! locate the grey bar on the connectors and lift them gently from the ribbon side upward, they will open and the ribbons will come away easily, replace the ribbons by putting them in place and clicking down the grey bars to lock them in.

    Crud!! I didn't see your comment in time, Pastor! I am not accustomed to ribbon connectors. I found out too late, after severing one, that they each have “clips” locking them in place. This battery replacement just became complicated.
