STEP-05

ASSEMBLE

THE CABLE

Using something like a pen or pin, you’ll need to push

in the clip that holds the connector in place on the

part you’re discarding. Very carefully remove the cable

and install it at the end of your newly trimmed cable.

STEP-04

RESIZE

THE

RIBBON

CABLE

It’s a good idea to shorten
the ribbon cable. 108 mm is
apparently the perfect size, but
you can go a little longer. Once
you’ve measured it, cut the cable.

STEP-06

PREPARE

FOR POWER

To make all our soldering easier, we’ll dab some

solder onto the spots where we need it for the

moment. On the PowerBoost 1000C, add some

solder to the positive and negative pins, and the

EN and GND pins. Cut one of the legs off the power

switch and put some solder on the other two.
