Step 5
- You will need to desolder the two contact points that connect the battery to the mother board.
- Make sure to allow ample time (at least 5-8 minutes or more) for the soldering iron to heat up. Otherwise, the solder won’t melt.
- Touch the hot iron to the contact points and gently pull on the wires to loosen them from the solder. They should release easily.
- Make sure not to touch the contact points after desoldering them because they will remain very hot for a short while afterwards.

- Using the black nylon spudger, get underneath the battery and begin prying it loose from the rest of the tablet.
- The tape holding the battery to the tablet has a very strong hold so be prepared for resistance.
