    • Notice the cable that goes across the yellow battery from the top to the bottom. There is a connector for this cable at the bottom of the battery.

    • Remove this cable by pushing a spudger underneath the connector and popping it out.

    • Notice the two clear adhesive flaps overlapping on the left and right side of the yellow battery.

    • Peel back these flaps by running the spudger between the the flaps and battery, seperating the adhesive.

    • When reassembling the device, the spudger is not needed. Fold the flaps over so that the sticky side touches the yellow battery and connect the adhesive.

    • Be careful not to push too hard with the nylon spudger as you may pierce the battery and release toxic chemicals.

    • Remove the yellow battery by pulling up and to the left on the green pull-tab.

    • This will create a ripping sound. This is because of the adhesive on the back of the battery and is completely normal.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
