Introduction

The disassembly is relatively simple, but will require the use of a soldering iron to disconnect a couple of wires. Be sure to review the iFixit soldering guide if you do not have experience with soldering. It is also important that you do not bend the battery at any time during the disassembly, as this can cause a fire.
