3. Release the battery from the logic board (see Figure 5-44). Use your iPod-opening
tool, because the battery is glued down. Do not completely remove the battery from
the logic board, because it is soldered in place.
4. Carefully pull the screen from the front panel (see Figure 5-45). The screen is glued
down with adhesive.
5. Notice the ribbon cable that connects the front of the iPod nano to the logic board.
Release the clip, and unplug this ribbon cable to free the logic board (see Figure 5-46).
