Einleitung

This guide will show you how to replace the battery for your Dell XPS 18 if it has failed.

  1. stUOnfnBUE6YN5x3

    • Turn the device on its screen.

    • Remove the ten 4mm screws using a T8 Torx screwdriver.

  2. EsppVhHdF4hHa6VF

    • Gently flip out support feet located near the bottom of device.

  3. P4B3cAjtRTeQ3VGb

    • Gently lift the back cover off the device. The back cover should come off easily.

  4. fTSYpVFuLmSxyUJ2

    • Use the opening tool's angled edge to lift the clasps securing the screen and motherboard cables.

    It’s not necessary to remove the cables. Unclip the white touch cable from the touch board as shown in step 8, then remove the two screws holding the board to the frame, as shown in step 9. The board can then be moved out of the way to lay flat on your work surface without having to disconnect all the cables. Doing this eliminates this step and step 5. The order of operations then would be steps 1-3, 8, 9, 6, 7, and 10.

    I pulled these up with my fingernails - I have small hands and the tool was too clumsy for me.

    • Pull back the cables.

    • Use the plastic opening tool's angled edge to pry the black battery cable loose.

    This little snap can be tough to lift up. If you get your face right down on the board you can see that it pops upward from the side. Pic looks like it might be from the top.

    • Use the plastic opening tool's angled edge to remove the red and black CMOS battery cable.

    I was able to pull this free with my fingernails. Using the tool was too clumsy for such a small piece.

    • Use the plastic opening tool's angled edge to lift the clasp securing the silver circuit board cable.

    • Pull back the circuit board cable to prevent future hassle.

  15. Ufl4qYv5wSSCrQSv

    • Use the opening tool's angled edge to remove the CMOS battery.

    • The CMOS battery is adhered with strong adhesive; you may need to use extra force when removing.

  16. KKonWEXiDcvOiYLE

    • Remove the eleven black 4mm screws holding the battery in place with a Phillips 00 screwdriver.

  17. woAoCIDNoNwvN2Hc

    • Remove the battery.

    it seems obvious, but after you lift out the battery you're looking a plain white plastic case. That's fine - you can go back through the steps omitting the ones of putting the battery and CMOS battery cables back in place. Basically, just reattach anything that's still there.
