Introduction

If your Kurio Xtreme is not charging or is not holding a charge, follow these steps to remove the faulty battery. Before proceeding, make sure that you have a soldering iron and know how to use it.

Tools

Step 1

Remove the rubber case by beginning to peel from one of the top corners and continue peeling until the cover is completely removed.

Step 2

Unscrew the four 4 mm black screws using a Phillips #000 screw driver.
There are two screws on each side of the device (four total).

Step 3

Insert the plastic opening tool in between the edges of the blue front casing and black back casing.
Slide the plastic opening tool around the perimeter of the device. This may require that you repeatedly run the opening tool up and down the edges of the device.
Be sure not to break any of the plastic clamps along the edges of the device when removing the back cover.
Carefully lift the back panel off of the rest of the device.

Step 4

Disconnect the black and red wires from the motherboard by soldering the ends that are connected to the motherboard.
The soldering iron gets very hot and may injure you if exposed to your skin.

Step 5

Slide iFixit's Plastic Card tool or a credit card under the battery to remove the glue that is holding it in place.
Be patient and gentle. The glue is strong and may take up to 30 seconds to remove.
Carefully lift the battery out of the device.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
