Maybe i can help you a little with that too. You already found that old thread, assuming you read the whole thread, i decided to make some additional pics to illustrate the actual opening of the DR.
First cut a strip of plastic strip as mentioned by Kent Walters. I used an old credit card, perfect for the job. On the pics you can see where to slide in the plastic strip. You can also see that a plastic notch is keeping the side strips in place. Once your plastic tool is between the notch and the DR's side strip, you can slide the strip down/up. It's the same procedure with all four strips. Then you have to unscrew the central screw under the rubber pad in the middle of the back case.
Put your DR frontside down on a flat surface, maybe with something soft under it to avoid scratches. Separating the back from the front of the DR is the tricky part. You have to be careful there (read what Kent Walters wrote). On the pics you can see where to put a screwdriver. I used a metal one, you have to make sure not to push it to deep in. My DR had some sort of (silicone?) glue between the edges of the front and back case. At some points it looked like they used plastic cement (you can see a little damage there on the pics). Some tiny glued parts will break there, but don't be afraid, it won't matter much.
When your done you can slide the side strips back on. They should click in place.
Hope this will help you. Good luck with the battery!
