Introduction

Finally, a prerequisite to this guide is removal of the battery. If you notice once the laptop is open that the battery is swollen, remove it with caution. If swollen, do not charge the battery, keep the battery at a stable room temperature, and dispose of it properly at a recycling center. This page will help you deal with a swollen battery. Another important thing is to make sure that you unplug your device from any external power sources and completely power it off before beginning this replacement.
