Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Battery               
  • Before you begin, be sure to turn off your laptop and discharge the battery down to 25%.
  • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 15 screws securing the back cover.
  • Insert an opening tool or spudger in the seam and pry along the perimeter to loosen the back cover.
  • Do not insert the opening too too far into the back edge (with “Stealth” written on it), or you may damage the power LED.
  • The back cover is secured with clips. Too much pressure from the spudger can break the clips, but some flex is not dangerous.
  • Remove the back cover.
