Step 2

There is a ribbon cable that will still connect the front and back panels once they are pried part.
Use the plastic opening tool to gently pry apart the front and back casing panels. Repeat this at multiple locations around the edge of the device. You should hear the clips that hold the front and back together pop apart.
Once there is a large gap between the from and back casing panels, use your hands to separate the two halves.

Step 6

Set the motherboard down out of the way of the battery.
Using the flat end of the plastic opening tool carefully pry the battery and its adhesive away from the casing.
The adhesive holding the battery down is very strong. Prying the battery up may take some force but go slowly and carefully in order to avoid damaging the battery.
Once most of the adhesive is unstuck from the casing, use your hands to remove the battery completely.
