Step 3
Don’t go all Hulk on that panel! If it’s playing hard to get, grab a plastic spudger and gently wiggle it free where it’s stuck.
– Gently lift the two corners of the back panel near the hinge, and it should pop right off, freeing the whole panel in one smooth move!
Step 4
Each screw is marked ‘M2X4’ with a little arrow pointing right at it, making it easy to spot.
– Let’s get started! Use a trusty Philips #00 Screwdriver to carefully remove the seven 3 mm long screws from around the battery’s perimeter. Take your time and make sure they’re all out before moving on to the next step.
Step 5
– Carefully lift the back of the battery with a gentle touch.
Step 6
– Get a good grip on that black connector – you’ve got this!
– Gently pull the connector towards the battery, and it should come loose, releasing both the connector and the battery from the laptop. Easy peasy!
