Introduction
To avoid electric discharge and possible damage to internal components, the battery should be disconnected from the motherboard as a prerequisite to replacing other parts. You will not need to remove or replace any other parts of the device in order to do so. For this guide, you will need an anti-static mat to avoid electrostatic discharge, a Phillips #0 screwdriver head, a spudger (either plastic or metal) and tweezers to handle small parts. The process is relatively simple and should only take about 10 minutes.
