Installing UT on N5 stuck in boot loop

@jjconstr Take your time and loosen round the battery a bit at a time with, yes something like the guitar pick thing.

@jjconstr Don't apply any heat, the battery is just fixed with the Goldilocks amount of glue, just ease it up gently.
Ifixit is good for tear downs.

Thanks for the tips. They were helpful. I didn't have to check youtube. I used my fingernail to remove the back, took out some screws I didn't need to, lifted the battery connector and then the battery. Putting a new battery in didn't correct the boot loop though. I also poked and prodded the switch to see if it would loosen up and work. No deal. Looks like there is a small pin or shaft that the button pushes on when depressed. It doesn't look like it moves at this point.I appreciate your help!
Thank you,

Thank you,
jjconstrI guess I was one of lucky 1% that swapping out the battery worked for.
Careful with the hot gun and shield any parts that might melt when you swap the switch, those switches are so tiny good luck.
