The back of the One is covered in a sea of copper tape and ribbon cables, and only after a diligent search are we able to locate the battery connector—although no clear path to the battery itself.

The battery connector is secured to the motherboard with screws. After a couple of turns with our 64 bit kit's precision driver, it's released and ready for removal from the device... but not yet.
