Introduction

You may need to replace your battery if you find that your Laptop dies very quickly or immediately once disconnected from the power adapter. This will eventually happen to most laptops as the act of charging and discharging a battery deteriorates its ability to store a charge.

              Lower Case               
  • Ensure your computer is completely OFF before starting this guide.
  • Remove the eight 6 mm screws using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
  • Remove the two 11 mm screws using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

Step 2

  • Pry the back cover off by inserting the plastic opening tool at the hinges and wedging it between the Back cover and the body.
  • Follow along the back edge with the plastic opening tool, lifting the cover off as you go. It is normal to hear snapping/clicking sounds as the back cover is held on by clips.
  • Remove the cover.

I’m grateful for the individuals who take time to share their knowledge. I’m 63yrs young with no technical skills. I followed your step by step instructions and was successful in changing my laptop battery. THANK YOU! 👩‍🦳👍
