Introduction

For your safety, discharge your battery as much as possible before disassembling your device. This can be done by disconnecting the AC adapter and allowing the battery to drain. Draining the battery reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
