Introduction

If you’re having trouble fitting a battery blocker underneath the battery connector on an iPad’s logic board, you can try using a playing card to disconnect the battery instead. This procedure requires cutting a playing card to size.

What you need

Step 1

              Mark the screw slot and total width               

• Line up the left edge of a playing card with the left edge of the battery connector.
• Use a pen to mark both sides of the screw hole and the end of the battery connector as shown.

Step 2

              Mark the depth of the screw slot               

• Line up the top edge of the card with the top edge of the screw hole.
• Use a pen to mark the bottom edge of the battery connector.
• These markings will aid in cutting a slot in the card to clear the screw hole.

Step 3

              Cut the playing card to size               

• The length of the battery blocker is not important, but we recommend it to be about an inch, or the length from the tip of your thumb to its knuckle.
• Use a pair of scissors to cut out the playing card battery blocker as shown.

Step 4

              Disconnect the battery               

• Be extremely slow and careful when you isolate the battery using a battery blocker. The battery contacts are easily bent or broken, resulting in irreversible damage.
• Insert the battery blocker at a 35 degree angle to disconnect the battery.
• The playing card ideally should slide under the logic board without encountering any blockages. After insertion, it should rest at a 15 degree angle.
• Leave the battery blocker in place as you work.
