What you need

Step 1

              Remove bottom plate
  • Using a Torx t5 screwdriver, remove the 6 screws at the top and bottom edges of the back plate
  • Be aware that the screws closer to the hinges are longer, so be sure to keep your screws organized.
  • Next, remove the rubber strip that is closest to the hinges of the laptop, as this covers more screws. If you can, try to keep the black adhesive under the strip stuck on the rubber. This will help when reapplying the strip during reassembly.
  • Using your Phillips-Head #00 screwdriver, remove the 4 screws from the rubber strip cavity. It may help to use tweezers to take them out as they are recessed under the aluminum back.
  • Using a metal pry-tool, pry the back plate from the housing. This may prove to be difficult as it is set down by strong clasps and the edges are recessed under the frame. I recommend starting from around one of the hinges and going from there, as it is much easier to get under the plate from there.
  • Be careful not to go too deep with the pry tool, as you may damage components if you do.

Step 2

              Disconnect previous battery
  • Disconnect the battery cable using a plastic pry tool or your fingernails. Make sure to pry from both edges at the same time.
  • It is highly recommended you do not use a metal pry tool when disconnecting any battery connector, as this could potentially short out the battery contacts.

  • Reinstall the torx screws back in their respective holes, followed by the Phillips-Head screws in their respective holes.
  • Reattach the rubber strip over the screws. Make sure to put enough pressure so that the adhesive resticks properly.
