Remove the 9 screws from the back cover with the Phillips #0 screwdriver. NOTE* You do not need to remove the screws completely as you just need to loosen them enough to remove the cover.
-
Once all 9 screws have been loosened, you can start to pry apart the back cover with your metal or plastic blade. I like to start from the top right hinge area. (See pic)

Temporarily disconnect the bottom left corner battery sticker. NOTE* You will need to reconnect this sticker when installing the new battery.
