    • Use a plastic opening tool to separate the outer casing and panel; gently work the tool around the entire outer edge

    • Lift the battery from its studs, and place it closer to you.

    • The battery is not clamped or screwed onto the frame. Once you disconnect the battery, you are able to safely remove it by picking it up.

    • Unplug the rainbow wires connecting the battery to the motherboard.

    • Be sure to only grab the white portion of the plug, do not overstretch the rainbow wires.

    • Remove the battery from the laptop.

    • Remove the panel you've been working on.

    • Lift from the front edge of the panel, so that it and the screen form a 90 degree angle.

    • Pull the electrical panel straight back, away from the hinges/brackets. It shouldn't require any force.
