    • Use a spudger to pry the battery and detach it from the glue underneath it.

    • Be careful not to pinch the battery—lithium batteries are hazardous and prone to short circuiting, and thus burning and/or exploding.

  8. XiFux3CYMSHwVx21

    • Lift the battery and place it a little further away from the positive and negative battery wires.

  9. YfYYCPtEIVMx1Je6

    • Using your soldering iron, melt the two lead spots to detach the wires.

    • The soldering iron is extremely hot, so handle with caution. Always keep the soldering iron holder next to you when using it so you can return it easily.

    • When reassembling, make sure you solder the right pole to the right spot on the circuit board, as swapping them can burn the motherboard.

    • Remove the two wires. Then remove the battery completely from the device.

    • Make sure you tape the negative and positive battery wires to keep them from short-circuiting.

Conclusion

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