CAUTION: When removing the back panel of the tablet, take caution around the speaker. This is located in the lower right corner when looking at the back of the tablet. There are two wires inside connecting the tablet back panel to the device itself and this connection may be severed if the back is pulled off without care.
This connection is shown in red on the pictures.

The battery is very fragile, so this process may cause some damage to the old battery during removal. Take extra care if you need the old battery to remain intact.
The battery is held to the back of the device by an adhesive under the battery. Use a ruler or spudger to slowly separate the battery from the glue underneath.
Take care not to bend or puncture the battery, which can cause a fire.

Place the red wire tip on the positive terminal. Hold the solder strand so that it is touching the terminal and tip, and apply heat with the soldering iron until the two fuse together and produce a small amount of smoke.
