Step-by-Step Process
Step 1:
Flip laptop so the back cover faces up.
Remove the ten (M2x10) screws.
Remove the three (M2x5) screw.
Loosen (M2.5x6) pop-open screw without removing screw from the cover.
Pop-open screw CANNOT be removed. Do NOT try and remove it with any other tool. This can damage the screw and/or back cover.
Step 2:
Place iFixit opening tool at the pop-open screw (bottom right screw), there will be a gap there to place your tool.
Pry your way around the perimeter of the laptop.
Plastic clips holding the back cover will pop free as you pry. You will hear popping noises. This is normal.
During reassembly push down around the perimeter of the back cover to snap the plastic clips into place.
Step 3:
Gently lift the back cover open and remove it.
Plastic clips in the center of the cover will pop free when lifting the cover. Hearing popping noises and feeling some resistance is normal.
During reassembly, push down at the center of the cover with your hands and the hooks will snap back into place.
Step 4:
Use the plastic spudger to gently slide back the metal retaining clasp from the connector.
Place your spudger under the connector and carefully pry each side up.
DO NOT use any metal tool for this step. Doing so may cause sparks and a short circuit to occur damaging your laptop.
Step 5:
Remove the four (M2x4.5) screws securing the battery.
Step 6:
Lift the battery and remove it.
