Introduction

The battery provides power to the device, and a poor battery will not perform tasks on the computer well or for very long.

Prior to starting the replacement, please turn off the power on the device and disconnect any external power sources, such as the device charger.

Use caution when removing the battery as it may begin to bend and crack when prying off the board.

What you need

Step 1

              Bottom Screen/Keyboard
  • Turn off and power down the device before beginning this process. A heat gun or hair dryer will be suitable to heat the adhesive that holds down the screen. Apply heat to the entire surface area of the bottom screen.
  • New adhesive will be required when completing the steps in reverse order.
