Step 1
– Power down your computer and unplug all accessories and cables—yes, even that one.
– Turn the computer over so it’s facing bottom-side up.
Step 2
– Make sure the battery compartment lock tab is in the unlocked position, ready to go.
– Now, slide that sleek black tab away from the battery compartment – it’ll slide like butter.
– Once that’s done, the inside edge of the battery should pop free just a bit, like it’s excited to be out of there.
Step 3
– Grab the inner edge of the battery and give it a gentle lift to fully detach it from the device. It’s like setting the battery free!
Step 4
– Let’s get started by removing 7 of the 2mm Phillips #1 screws from the largest panel on the back of your laptop. This is the first step to unlocking the inside of your device!
– Next, carefully lift up the panel from the indent on the right side. It’s like opening a little door to the inside of your laptop!
Step 5
– Unscrew the tiny 0.5mm Phillips #1 black screw chilling on the left side of the panel opening.
Step 6
– Grab your screwdriver and gently slide the CD drive out through the exposed panel. Easy does it!
