Thanks!

Battery removal is optional for the motherboard, but is a great addition to this guide for completeness.

Step 6
• Begin by locating the double sided pull tape locations.
• Do not lift on the battery when doing the following step. You will bend it. It is very pliable.
• Pull the black soft tabs to release the tape's adhesion.
• Make sure you pull the tabs slowly and continuously away from the case until the adhesive is completely out.
• Do this to all 4 tabs until the battery is completely free of adhesion to the device's backing.
