    • Once the glue is loosened, you should be able to pry off the battery from the screen.

    • Using your hands, pull up on the battery to pull battery off.

    • Pulling on the battery causes you to bend the battery. Bending the battery could cause it to break open. Battery fumes are toxic and unsafe.

    • The battery will be completely disconnected and you can set the battery aside in a safe place.

  7. XMrc6QrvbsAupyEk
    • Begin by locating the four 3mm silver screws that are holding the screen down to the digitizer. Set screws to the side.

  8. dRpNfkwedGGuh44d
    • Once everything is removed, take one plastic opening tool and pry it between the screen and digitizer.

  9. R2j5ASW1omFXf5u4
    • Once the screen is pried free from the digitizer, simply grab the thin orange circuit strip and carefully pull in an upwards motion to remove the screen from the digitizer. Set screen to the side.
