● Latitude Self-Heal can be avoided when complete system tear-down is required to access the coin-cell battery.
● For the Latitude E7 Series (XX70), BIOS Recovery 2.0 should be performed as the primary step.
● In order to reduce troubleshooting time associated with Self-Heal, there is no mandatory requirement to reassemble the
system. Technicians can initiate Self-Heal even with the system board exposed.
● Do not touch any of the exposed components or the system board to avoid shorting and static.
● If Self-Heal is unable to recover the failure, proceed with replacing the system board.
