You have to disconnect them by moving the spudger around the entire smartphone one time. Alternatively, you can detach the back cover using your fingernails.
    2. Then you can take off the back cover.
  3. Removing the plastic cover

      2 x 3.1 mm Phillips screws (small)

    1. If your OnePlus One is still on, turn it off now by holding down the standby button for about three seconds and following the prompt on the display.
    2. Now you can detach the battery connector. Be very careful. Place the pointed tip of the spudger very slightly below the contact and carefully lift it up. The pictures show where you should put the spudger to avoid breaking off the little resistors even if it slips.
