I have five T4 screws that came out without issue and three that refuse to budge. Now I am trying to figure out how to remove those without damaging the laptop itself.

Thank you! iFixit repair kit made getting the screws out easy. Now have a renewed laptop ready with 6 plus hours of battery life.

Tutoriel parfait, excepté peut-être qu’un double-fil côté droit de la batterie doit être libéré avant de sortir la batterie.

Bravo et merci, ça m’a tout simplement permis de me dépanner seul.
