Removing the battery
Prerequisites
1. Follow the procedure in before working inside your computer.
2. Remove the SD memory card.
3. Remove the base cover.
4. Disconnect the battery cable.
5. Remove the speakers.
Steps
1. Peel off the tape [1] and unroute the wireless antennae cables from the routing guides on the battery [2].
NOTE: The cables for the wireless antennas are routed over the plastic bracket at the top left corner and within the
routing channels along the left and bottom side of the battery. As a result, technicians must be careful when unrouting
the antenna cables from their routing guides while they are still attached to the wireless card. If there is difficulty in
unrouting the antenna cables from their routing channels, remove the WLAN card from the computer to create space to
unroute the cables.
2. Remove the single (M1.6x4.5) screw [1] in highlighted in red circle and four (M2x3) screws highlighted in yellow color that
secure the battery to the chassis.
3. Lift and remove the battery off the computer [2].
