Don't pry against the battery during this step. Only insert your tool where instructed, and double-check that it's not wedged against the battery.

Insert the tip of an opening pick in the gap between the top edge of the loudspeaker and the metal protrusion on the frame.

Make sure your tool is between the metal protrusion and the loudspeaker, and not against the battery.

Pry the loudspeaker up to separate it from the frame.
