  12. Make sure that the device is OFF before operating here, as an electrical spark may occur if the device is operating.
  13. Once the motherboard is exposed after disassembly, follow the thick black and red cords from the battery pack to their attachments to the board.
  14. Use the soldering iron to melt the positive and negative connections.

  17. After you have disconnected the battery from the motherboard, use a box cutter or exacto knife to carefully cut the blue wrapping around the battery.
  18. Aligning the edge of the knife tangent to the battery works best for avoiding a cut to the electrolyte itself.
  19. Please take extreme caution with this step. You may remove the blue tape with another method but if you do use an exacto knife, please do not cut into the battery.
