個人的意見を書きます。まず最初にこの手順はあくまでもバッテリーを取り外すだけの手順書です。作成者がこの手順書を部分的に書き直さない限り作業事故によっては「ボリューム パワースイッチフレックスケーブル」、「nfcアンテナ」、「イヤホンジャック フレックスケーブル」、最悪「マザーボード」をも交換する羽目になる事を視野に入れて作業した方がいいです。それらの注意書きがないのが残念です。
「ボリュームパワースイッチフレックスケーブル」と「nfcアンテナ」はバッテリーに接着されています。特にnfcアンテナの黒い部分は恐らくアンテナの一部と思われ奇麗に剝がそうとしても絶対に破損しますので交換必須です。

手順ありがとうございます。
手順25の前後でで左上側のコネクタを外す手順がなかったので見事に切りました。
他、海外動画と比較していくつか手順がすっ飛んでたので、注意書きはした方がよいと思いました。

詳細を報告いただきありがとうございました。手順25の前後の作業については修理ガイド担当者に付け足しの必要を伝えておきます。コネクタを破損させてしまい申し訳ありません。少し時間がかかるかもしれませんが、貴重な情報は英語と日本語の修理ガイドに反映させていただきます。御礼まで。
