ID: 125423

Description: This guide will show you how to remove and...

Steps:

1. The battery cover is locked in place by a switch on the bottom of the laptop.
2. To release the lock and open the battery cover, slide the switch in the direction of the arrow next to the battery icon.
3. As you slide the switch, the battery cover should pop up.

4. Lift up and remove the battery cover.

5. Two switches lock the battery in place. To remove the battery you will need to slide both switches toward the center of the battery.
6. The switch marked with a padlock symbol moves back and forth freely.
7. The switch with the battery symbol on the other side of the battery is spring loaded, so you will have to hold it open as you remove the battery.

8. Slide the switch with the padlock symbol toward the unlocked side.

9. Insert your finger or the flat edge of a spudger into the small divot along the edge of the battery just below the battery cover lock.
10. Slide the spring-loaded switch with the battery symbol toward the center of the battery with one hand, while you pry the battery up with the other.
11. If you have correctly released both of the switches that hold the battery in place, it should be very easy to pry up.
12. Don't pry aggressively at the battery. If you can't hold the switch open while you pry, have a friend hold the switch while you lift out the battery.

13. Remove the battery.

14. To install your new battery, press it into place so that it lays flat, then slide the red switch with the padlock symbol back to the locked side.
