Description: Intro

Steps:

1. Flip your laptop rearside up. Make sure not to scratch anything while doing so.
2. Remove anything attached to your laptop and start unscrewing.
3. The blue circled screws are "stand-off screws", they shouldn’t come out the rear shell. Keep unscrewing until each of them start to make a "clicking" noise.
4. The red circled screws are normal, they are all the same size and should come out.

5. All the screws should be off except the "stand-off" screws.
6. Slide a pick or card around the computer lid. Don't dig too deep or you might hit something
7. Be wary that there is a clip near the middle of the rear shell. Lift the shell off with equal pressure. Make sure to take your time to prevent anything going wrong.

8. The lid should come back off
9. Find the battery cable (near the bottom right)
10. Lift off a bit of the cable cover and use a tool to disconnect the cable
11. Disconnect the cable by pushing the cable out

12. Unscrew the battery from the laptop. All the screws are the same size
13. Use a card or pick to detach the battery
14. The battery isn’t glued in, it should be free

15. You are done!
