| + | [* black] We can now start the process of removing the battery. Of all the things held down by adhesive in this device the battery is the most difficult thing to remove. Using a flat plastic pry tool pry up the edges of the battery, and work you way to the middle from all sides. |
| + | [* black] CAREFUL not to bend the battery too much. I cannot stress how well this battery is held in, but be patient and just work at it. Another method is using two long thin, flat plastic prytools to "cut" the adhesive, and pry between the battery and body of the phone starting at the USB end. Don't risk a lithium fire by poking a hole in the battery! |
