Step 1
Case
- Be sure the device is powered off. Clean the device to prevent any dirt and dust from entering into the device.
- Use the plastic opening tool to gently pry the plastic screen frame away from the screen. Run the plastic opening tool along the interior edge of the screen until the screen frame is completely separated from the glass.
- The screen frame is held onto the Nook by a set of tab that run around the outside of the frame. There may also be a line of rubber cement around the Nook under the screen frame. If your Nook has this, you will have to dig deep to separate the frame from the Nook.

This is an awesome step by step guide detailing each step along the way for battery replacement. The only discrepancy that I saw is that it says at the top of the guide that a T6 torx is a necessary tool to replace the battery when only a T5 torx is needed for this job. There is a 4000mAh replacement battery available for under $20 here: http://www.mpfproducts.com/bna-b0002-bat… for those interested. It even comes with all of the necessary installation tools.

I just replaced the battery. I bought the new one from MPF. This was a great instructional. Only one size screw used so that made it easier to do, and truly anyone should be able to do this themselves.
