    • Power off and remove the memory card.

    • Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the four 6.4mm screws on the back casing.

    • Using your fingernail or a spudger, pry open the accessory port cover on the top of the device.

    • Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the two 5.4mm screws hidden beneath the accessory port cover.

    • Beginning at the sides of the device, use a plastic opening tool to separate the front and rear cases.

    • Continue working your way around the device gently prying it open.

    • There are still wires holding the front and rear cases together. You may damage the connections if you yank the cases completely apart.

    • Gently separate the two cases, minding the battery and the touch screen controller connectors holding the two cases together.

    One of the shoulder buttons fell out when I was doing this step, along with the piece holding it in place. They go back in just fine when reassembling but make sure that they are oriented properly, of course.

    • Using a spudger, free the touch screen controller flex cable by gently prying up the connection.

    • Free the battery cable by gently prying up on the connection with a spudger.

    Any idea what type of pcb header is on the board for the battery? I have a motherboard with a broken header but I cant source a replacement

    This is where I screwed up so I recommend extra caution for other newbies. Only the black part is supposed to come off. Don't be an idiot like me and pry off too much...

    Yea I messed up there too. Is there a way to fix it?

    This component was far more stubborn than the screen connector when it came to removal. I opted for a smaller tool than the spudger (small flat-head) and managed to disconnect it after determining the best bit size for the job. Screwdriver is metal, obviously, so being gentle helps to avoid damaging anything.

    • With the help of a spudger, gently pry off and remove the battery cable retainer on the back casing assembly.

    • The easiest access to the battery cable retainer is where the battery cable comes out.

    • You can also use the two small tabs on the side of the cable retainer. Locate the tabs and release one at a time. Be a little careful not to push the cover in and re-lock it.

    Using the tabs (I could really only see one) on the side of the retainer proved essential for me to remove it and release the cable. Unless that happened that cable retainer was not moving for me at all. It did come out once the tabs were pressed though they did prove somewhat uncooperative with clicking back into place once I had installed the new battery. Also, watch that the battery’s cable isn’t pinched when you’re putting everything back in place.

    • Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the two 5.0mm blue battery case screws.

    • Remove the plastic battery retaining bar.

    When reinstalling the battery retaining bar, be sure to insert the bottom end (as shown in the photo) into the slot before driving in the screws. If you just lay it on top, you will crack the bar.

    • Guide the battery wires through the hole in the back casing as you remove the battery.
