Place the device on a flat surface (with the headphone outlet facing you). Using one of your fingers, place the tip of your finger over the highlighted spot (as shown in the second picture). Next, pull the back cover upwards.

(The gap is located on the top of the device which is highlighted in the second photo). Using the plastic opening tool pull the back cover upwards until the back cover pops off.

The gap is located on the left side of the device in the upper left hand corner and the on the right side of the device in the upper right hand corner.

If the battery is not coming out with this technique, use the plastic opening tool to stick it in the gap and pry it up towards you.

The battery will pop out.

At the lower right hand corner of the phone (as highlighted in the picture as shown) use one hand to hold the device in place and use your finger (on your free hand) to push the micro SD card inwards until you hear a "click" sound and it pops out.

If that method is difficult, use the plastic opening tool to push the micro SD card inwards and it will make a "click" sound and pop out.

Use the T-4 screwdriver to remove the three .050 mm screws from the back cover.

Use the plastic opening tool and place it in the gap by the chrome bezels which are located on both sides of the device. Pull the plastic opening tool downward so that the plastic case will pry open. Start prying open the device and work clockwise.
