    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

    • Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the five 17.2 mm‑long screws securing the top edge and bottom corners of the back cover.

    • Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to fully loosen the remaining captive screw at the center of the bottom edge. This should create a small gap between the back cover and chassis.

    • Don't try to remove this screw.

    • Plastic clips secure the perimeter of the back cover. You should feel and hear them release during this step.

    • Slide the opening pick along the bottom edge and around the corners of the back cover to release the clips securing it.

    • Keep the pick at an upward angle under the back cover to help release the clips.

    • Make sure the locking bar is not covering the battery connector at all, or you may damage the socket and the locking bar.

    • Insert the flat end of a spudger under the center of the battery connector.

    • Lift the connector straight up and out of its socket to disconnect the battery.

    • During reassembly, use your fingers or the flat end of a spudger to firmly push the connector onto its socket until it clicks into place.

Conclusion

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