Introduction

Failure to charge or inability to hold charge may indicate a faulty battery. Make sure to look at the troubleshooting guide before continuing with battery replacement as inadequate power settings, broken or obstructed charging ports, or a defective charger may be the culprit and are easy and affordable fixes.

Make sure to keep any food or liquid away from the computer during the replacement process as the computer’s internal components will be exposed. If the battery appears swollen, follow the appropriate steps to handle and dispose of it properly.

  • Power off the laptop and place it face-down on a non-scratching surface.
  • Using a Torx T5 screwdriver head, remove all ten 6 mm screws holding the back panel in place.
