This battery is responsible for the information about all the system's configuration, such as the hard disk, date and time. When starting your computer you’re constantly having to reset your clock, the date or when the Run Setup screen appears on your screen you need to replace the CMOS battery. Follow this guide to replace your CMOS battery.

    • Flip your laptop over so that the model sticker is facing upward towards the ceiling.

    • Make sure your computer is turned off before starting to avoid getting shocked.

    Why should the user turn off the laptop? Also, be sure to proofread carefully for end punctuation.

    • Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the thirteen 6.5mm screws that secure the back cover.

    Check screw feedback from iFixit throughout your guides.

    Where can I find these 6.5mm replacement screws? Seems like a lot of people report that they fall out easily.

    Thanks so much for the helpful web page! GPK

    • Use a plastic opening tool to gently separate the back cover from the laptop. A snapping sound will be heard as a signal that the clips are being disengaged.

    • Do not use any metal tools to pry open the device.

    • It is recommended that you start from one corner and run the tool along the edges of your laptop from corner to corner for a safe removal.

    Proofread each step carefully. See the caution. Also, how can the user ensure they don’t bend/crack the back? I think I need more detail in the first step here. Perhaps try to integrate more specific directions in the command text, so you don’t need the information bullet. I also think a flipbook style shot could help demonstrate appropriate removal.

    • Use your hand to carefully pull out the wiring harness from its port that is located between the battery and the motherboard.

    • Remove the battery from the case.

    How? Try to avoid telling people what to do instead of how to do it. Verbs like “disconnect” and “remove” can be performed multiple ways, so you want to make sure you’re clear about how to do it.

    My screws had two different lengths. I did not notice that until they were all removed. Took me time to figure which ones required the longer screws. Best to note this as the screws are being removed. Also, when screwing in the 4 fasteners nearest the keypad, I over tightened and tap to click did not work. After loosening, all is well.

    • Grasp the CMOS battery with the tweezers and remove it from the motherboard.

    Note that you told them to remove the battery, but the battery is in in the pictures here. This is a good example of a flipbook shot, though, so just retake with the battery out.
