Set aside the motherboard and focus on the metal backing containing the battery.

Use the screwdriver or plastic prying tool around the edges of the battery to pry it from its slot in the metal backing.

The battery may be held with adhesive. Do not panic if it feels like you are prying too hard just apply careful force until it is no longer stuck.

Pick up the battery and remove it making sure to free the cords in the upper left hand corner by sliding it out rather than lifting it.
