Steps:

1. Before you proceed, discharge your battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.
2. Open the case and remove both of the earbuds.

3. Insert an opening tool between the interior plastic cover and the exterior case.
4. This may take multiple tries at different contact angles.
5. Once inserted, pry up to begin separating the interior cover from the exterior case.
6. Move the opening tool around the edge until all of the clips holding the interior cover in place are released.
7. Remove and place the interior cover to the side.

8. Use a Phillips #000 screwdriver to remove the four screws holding the case's lid and hinge.
9. All of the screws in this guide share the same head and are the same length.

10. Flip the case over to the back.
11. Use a nylon spudger to pry and pop out the hinge from the body of the case.

12. Use a Phillips #000 screwdriver to remove the two screws on either side of the USB-C port.
13. Remove the metal shielding from the USB-C port.
14. Remove the final Phillips #000 screw securing the motherboard and battery to the case.

15. Firmly hold the case in one hand and pull out the motherboard and battery from the case using two fingers.

16. Identify the LED indicator and gently detach it from the plastic housing of the motherboard using the spudger.

17. Flip the board over and peel off the wireless charging coil.
18. Be careful not to break the two thin wires connecting the charging coil to the motherboard.

19. Separate the motherboard from the battery and plastic housing.

20. Identify the positive and negative terminal pads that are connected to the battery.
21. The corner that is diagonal to the correct pads should not have any pads.
22. Use the spudger to detach the pads from the plastic housing.

23. Use a heat gun or hair dryer on medium to low heat to soften the battery adhesive for 20-30 seconds.
24. Insert the spudger between the battery and the plastic housing and gently pry up until the battery is free.
25. Overheating or puncturing the battery may cause it to ignite.

26. Remove the battery from the plastic housing.
