Einleitung

If the battery of your Alienware 15 R2 dies quickly, or fails to charge, you may consider replacing it. This will show you how to do so. When working with computers, always make sure to unplug your computer and ground yourself before reaching inner components so you don’t accidentally release an electrical charge into the sensitive technology. The discharge could potentially damage your computer’s internals.

Honestly made an account to comment on this repair guide, this is extremely incomplete. I’d go as far as saying you’re likely to damage the product by relying solely on this guide, I would turn to a breakdown on YouTube instead. I’m not sure if this is listed under the correct product.
