Position C-cover for FPC removal – After lifting the C-cover completely from the D-bucket, angle and
hover the C-cover so that the far side is facing down towards the device and C-cover FPC is accessible.

Disconnect FPCs – While hovering the C-cover, disconnect the battery and then the C-Cover FPC from the
main board. Using a Spudger in your other hand pull up on the FPC connector’s locking tabs and slide the
FPC’s from the connectors.
WARNING:
It is recommended that an ESD-safe battery cover be placed across the device to protect the
battery from any physical contact or accidental damage whenever C-cover is removed. Ensure corners
of cover are always aligned with the corners of the device while battery is exposed. If battery cover is
misaligned during activities in any way, re-align before continuing work.
CAUTION:
When removed from the device, place the C-cover in a safe place with key and trackpad side
down and FPC facing up to avoid bending/creasing the FPC. Be sure the key and trackpad side of the
C-cover is protected from cosmetic damage during storage.
IMPORTANT:
Ensure battery FPC remains disconnected from the PCBA whenever C-cover is removed
from device for safety purposes.
