Steps:

  3. wow this image sucks, sorry. but here is the battery connector, use a plastic tool to pull up the connector and disconnect the battery
  4. The batterys model is : "EVE254385N"
  5. The battery is glued to the internal metal frame, the screen is attached on the other side, so you may want to remove the entire frame, then screen before using IPA to loosen the glue.
