Using the flat end of the spudger, pry the battery cable up off its socket on the motherboard.
The battery connectors (socket) on the mother board are extremely fragile, so care should be taken to avoid breaking them.
Other than this, the instructions given are precise and straighforward. I do agree with the other comments about step 20.
Be careful with the battery cable, I ripped the entire socket off with little force.

Remove the screws securing the motherboard to the upper case:
-
A single 2.5 mm silver Phillips screw
-
Four 3.7 mm black Phillips screws
the battery connector was (for me) extremely hard to remove. I broke the socket completely off the board hand had to hard solder it directly back.

Using the flat end of a spudger, flip up the retaining flap on the upper display data cable ZIF connector.

With the pointed end of the spudger, pull the upper display data cable from its connector on the underside of the motherboard.
This step is unnecessary. The ribbon is a total pain in the butt to get back in, and if you dont get it PERFECT, the DS will not even fire back up. Unless it is absolutely necessary to remove it... DON'T !!! ( Personal experience, Everything else was SPOT ON) THANK YOU FOR THE HELP, saved me a lot of $$$

I put mine back together for my daughter with the new bottom screen, but it won't power on. It tries but won't I'm assuming that this ribbon is the cause.
The instructions are perfect though! Great thing to have these instructions it's a tremendous help! :-)
YHWH is the god of all knowledge. Put a piece of transparent tape on the ribbon cable to give more leverage to pull the cable up to slide it into the slot. Also turn the motherboard slightly so that you can get it closer to the cable.
I didn't get mine completely reinserted at first. The symptom I experienced when powering it back on is the power light comes on briefly and the bottom screen light flashes, then they both shut off. No flash from the upper display. Had to try reinserting 3 times before I had it in completely. I agree, DON'T REMOVE if you don't have to.

Im having a problem where when I turn the ds on, the bottom screen flashes, then turns off, would this be because of water damage? or do i need to electrical tape down the ribbons connected the screen?
rust/white powder built up on a screw and can’t unscrew it
