Insert a pick into the gap to the left of the battery and slide its tip underneath the battery.

Both the screen connector and interconnect cable are located underneath the battery. Be careful not to damage them while using the opening pick!

Slide the pick along the left side of the battery to slice through the adhesive securing it to the midframe.

Once the left side of the battery begins to separate from the midframe, leave an opening pick in the gap to keep the battery slightly raised.

Apply four to five drops of isopropyl alcohol directly to the adhesive securing the battery to the midframe.
