1) Remove the amp module

2) You will see two tiny Philipps screws. Remove them using a jewelers driver.

3) This is the only tricky step: You will need something like this. They're really
cheap.

It is a suction cup that allows you to remove the back. Stick it to the back
creating a vacuum with the lever. Here is the important part. The sucker looks like
you should wrap your fingers around the handle and pull with your arm–DON'T. There
are two cables attached to the back cover. When the back comes loose, you can
easily exert enough force to yank out those cables. That may be alright, or you may
break something. Wrap your fingers around the cup and gently work the back loose
using your wrist and fingers not your arm and elbow.

4) You'll see the battery cable near the amp module side. You can reach in with a
finger nail or thin non-conductive tool and work the connector loose from the
housing. Note the polarity–where the red and black wires are.
5) Carefully flip the back over. There is still another thin cable attached on the
other side. This is the wifi antenna wire. You can remove it, but it may be a pain
to reconnect. Just leave it, but make sure there is no strain on it with the back
flipped over. I just leave the suction cup on to brace the back so there is some
slack.
6) The battery is taped to the back cover. Gently but firmly pry it off with your
fingers or a plastic spudger. Stick the new battery in the same place. If your
battery didn't come with the self-adhesive strips, honestly, double stick tape will
work just fine.
7) Flip the back cover back over the unit and reattach the connector. The bare
contact side of the connector should be facing up. (The red wire is the positive
line and if you have a magnifying glass you can see tiny markings on the circuit
board telling you negative and positive.) Make sure the connector is pushed in all
the way.
8) Bend the wires out of the way and close up the case. It may take a little force
but take it slow and careful.
9) Put the two tiny screws back and reinsert the amp module.

I over-explained in case you're not used to tinkering and thought it would be


better to be thorough than have surprises. But, it really is an easy process.
