Your system probably uses the BENICIA-GL8E motherboard

This video shows how to remove the battery.  Be sure to unplug from wall, touch the power on button 2-3 times to discharge the internal capacitors, and touch the metal case with your finger before touching the motherboard.

Thanks Beemer, I will have a go at that... Instructions seem clear enough even for a beginner. 

Thanks again
