Start Here
Step 1: Initial keyboard separation
Separate the plastic around the bottom of the keyboard and the sides of the phone using your fingernail or a spudger.
Step 2: Initial lower half separation
Further separate the backplate at the bottom of the phone and along the sides, but do not pull it any further apart than this.
Step 3: Initial upper half separation
Now separate the plastic around the top of the phone, but do not pull it any further apart than this.
Step 4: Backplate separation achieved
The backplate is now fully separated, but do not take it further than this at this stage.
Step 5: Warranty sticker
Note the white warranty sticker between the backplate and the body of the phone. If this sticker separates from either the body or the backplate, your warranty is voided.
Step 6: Battery removal
It is possible to remove the battery without dislodging the white warranty sticker.
