Steps:

1. Make sure to turn off and unplug your laptop before starting.
2. Turn over the laptop so that the bottom is facing upwards, and the Inspiron logo is upside-down.

3. Remove the seven 7 mm screws from the bottom using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
4. Loosen the two captive back corner screws using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
5. The two corner screws are not removable. A clicking sounds indicates that the screw is fully loosened.

6. Slide an iFixit opening tool underneath the right side USB port and the keyboard.
7. Gently trace the iFixit opening tool along the entire outer rim of the laptop, carefully applying an upwards pressure.
8. Be careful not to force open the plate or push too much off without loosening the other sides. This can cause the bottom cover to crack.

9. Gently pry off the bottom cover from the laptop.
10. Use the iFixit opening tool to loosen any spots you may have missed from Step 3.

11. Remove the four 3.5 mm screws holding the battery down with a JIS #0 screwdriver.
12. Official iFixit PH000-PH1 Phillips screwdrivers and bits are designed to be compatible with JIS screws, so they are safe to use.

13. Detach the motherboard connector tab from the top left of the battery.
14. Remove the battery from the device.
15. Be sure to carefully wiggle the connector out from the battery socket. Ripping it out too forcefully could damage the socket.
