. Shorting test points while active battery voltage flows through the circuit can permanently fry the power management integrated circuit (PMIC). Step 3: Locate the "New" Mi A0101 Test Points

Use a plastic spudger or guitar pick to separate the glossy plastic back cover from the front display chassis. Locate the main battery flex cable connection interface
