    • Make sure the device is powered off.

    • Gently insert a spudger into one of the bottom corners between the screen and body case.

    • Slide the spudger along the inside of the crack in order to pry the case open.

    • Be careful of the small volume and power buttons when prying the case with the spudger. They are connected with small pieces of plastic that break easily.

    • After removing the cover, remove the M1.6 x 2 mm screw from the battery cable with the JIS J000 screwdriver.

    • Gently lift the flaps on the four ZIF connectors to disconnect the cables.

    • Use the plastic card to gently pry the battery from the device.

    • There may be glue holding the battery to the device. Use the spudger to detach any glue while the battery is partially raised by the card.
