| [* black] Gather the ends of all three adhesive strips in your hand. | |
| [* icon_caution] Try to keep the strips flat and unwrinkled during this procedure; wrinkled strips will stick together and break instead of pulling out cleanly. | |
| + | [* icon_note] If any of the adhesive strips broke off underneath the battery and could not be retrieved, apply a few drops of high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol under the edge of the battery in the area of the broken adhesive strip(s). |
| + | [* black] Wait about one minute for the alcohol solution to weaken the adhesive. Use the flat end of a spudger to gently lift the battery. |
| + | [* icon_caution] Don't try to forcefully lever the battery out. If needed, apply a few more drops of alcohol to further weaken the adhesive. Never deform or puncture the battery with your pry tool. |
| + | [* icon_caution] ***Do not*** insert your card in the area between the volume down (-) button and the top edge of the battery, or you may damage the volume control cable lying underneath. ***Do not*** pry against the logic board or you may damage the phone. |
| + | [* icon_note] For alternative methods to unstick the battery, ***continue to step 26***. |
