  9. Use a hair dryer to heat and loosen the adhesive holding the keyboard together.

  14. Gently lift the back cover to access the battery cable.
  15. Do not pull the back cover completely off before disconnecting all attached cables, as this may tear or damage them.
  16. Gently remove the battery connector from the socket on the board.
  17. If it doesn't come out easily, use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the connector to "walk" it out of its socket.
  18. It may take a lot of alternating before the connector comes out. Be patient, and don't pull on the cables.
  19. Once the cable is safely disconnected, you can fully remove the back cover from the keyboard.
