Einleitung

This guide will show you how to replace the battery for your Alienware 17 R3. Be sure you have all the required tools before you begin.

For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Hi ! Nice DIY . Is it possible to disassemble the battery pack and change the cell inside ?

francois tremblay -

Hi, please edit step 10. There a 4th ribbon has to be pulled.

Nevertheless a very good manual.
