Introduction
Before you begin taking the device apart, make sure that you have conducted a thorough diagnosis to ensure that you will in fact need to replace the battery. Once you have determined that the battery no longer holds a charge, then you may proceed with this guide. It's also important that you have the appropriate tools and preferably a flat surface to work on, with good lighting.
