Description: Use this guide to replace the battery, after...

Steps:

1. Use a 5IP Torx Plus driver to remove the two screws securing the battery board:
2. One 4.5 mm screw
3. One 3.8 mm screw

4. There are 14 total stretch release adhesive strips that secure the battery to the frame:
5. There are eight adhesive strips that are accessed from the bottom of the device.
6. There are six more adhesive strips accessed from the trackpad's location on the frame.

7. Use tweezers, or your fingers, to grasp the black pull-tab on one of the adhesive strips.

8. Pull the strip out slowly and steadily at a low angle. Give it plenty of time to stretch and un-stick from under the battery.
9. If the adhesive strip breaks off, try to retrieve it using your fingers or blunt tweezers, and continue pulling—but do not pry under the battery.
10. Repeat the process for all 14 stretch release adhesive strips.

11. Slide the battery out of the frame to remove it.
12. During reassembly, apply new stretch-release adhesive to your battery and press each cell into place.
13. Alternatively, you may use strong double-sided tape such as Tesa Tape to secure the battery.
