If you only want to disconnect the battery, you do not need to proceed. If you do need to get under the motherboard, you need to unclip these 2 clips (on the photo) from the motherboard. Be delicate not to break them! On the other (left) side there are 2 more.

When the clips no longer hold the board, you can try to pull the board gently to the side where the clips are unclipped, gently pulling from under the clips on the other side.
