you should take the battery out first, you might shock yourself

Luke -

So you took the HDD out before the battery… but you turned off the computer for safety reasons.

Isaac Sastre -

for everyone that was thinking I started the teardown with out removing the battery I took the battery out before starting then i showed how to remove it later but it was not in all the time
