Yea, thats the part im stuck at as well
WiFi only. Sorry for not making that part clear. I used a fake Chinese battery for demonstration because my dog chewed up my genuine battery while I left it out on my desk._.
That's good so far. You've got it open without damage. What you need to do is very carefully use your pliers and gently pull them silver strips away from the PCB pads. Or instead, you could simply use scissors or wire-cutters and just cut off the strips. Here is a clearer idea. I'll use your uploaded picture:
RED - Carefully peel metal strip off the PCB pad with pliers.
or
GREEN - cut the metal strip off of it's pad with scissors or wire-cutters.
Once you've done one of them, strip a wire exposing the metal of the wire and wrap it round the strip from the PSP battery, then pinch the PSP battery's metal strip and fold it over the wire & solder.
In-fact, that's up to you. You just got to make sure that you do a sturdy soldering job. Hope this helps.
