| [title] Remove the battery | |
| [* black] Apply a few drops of [product|IF145-400-4|adhesive remover|new_window=true] or high-concentration (90% or higher) isopropyl alcohol inside the battery recess along the top edge to weaken the adhesive. | |
| + | [* icon_caution] Using more than a few drops of isopropyl alcohol will lead to alcohol leaking into the screen and staining the display, leading to splotches and requiring a more difficult and expensive [guide|156978|screen replacement|new_window=true]. |
| [* icon_note] If you are using adhesive remover, [guide|118537|follow these preparation steps first|new_window=true]. | |
| + | [* icon_note] Alternatively, you can (very carefully!) use a [product|IF145-185|utility knife|new_window=true] to cut away the plastic foil wrapping the battery module. Then you can lever the battery module out and peel the foil away. But take care not to puncture or bend the battery with your tool—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a thermal event. |
