| [* black] Flip the iPhone back over and insert a plastic card between the left side of the battery and the rear case. | |
| [* icon_caution] Don't pry under the topmost section of the battery, near the volume up button and mute switch, or you may damage the [guide|31183|audio controls cable|stepid=74381|new_window=true], which is adhered to the rear case just beneath the battery. | |
| [* icon_caution] ***Do not*** pry against the logic board, or you may permanently damage your iPhone. | |
| [* icon_caution] Be careful to keep the card as flat as possible to avoid bending the battery, which may damage it and cause it to release dangerous chemicals. | |
| [* black] Press the card in farther to break up the adhesive behind the battery. | |
| + | [* icon_note] Alternatively, a piece of dental floss may be used to separate the battery from the rear case. A stronger alternative to dental floss is an unwound guitar string, such as a 0.009 E string from a 12-string set. |
| + | [* black] Thread the floss or string underneath one end of the battery and pull side to side in a sawing motion to separate the adhesive. |
