- Insert the iFixit Opening Tool between the front and back cover of the device in order to snap and separate the type locks from around the edges.
- Use the iFixit Opening Tool all the way around the edges until all the snaps have been released.
- While going around the edges, make sure you have a tight grip to keep the device from sliding.
- Remove the case backing from the rear of the device with your hands so the internal components are exposed.
- If not already done, desolder the three colored cables that connect the battery to the motherboard.
