    • Pull the battery away upward and away from the laptop while continuing to hold the release switch.

    • Once the battery is removed from the laptop, you may release the switch.

    • To properly dispose of your battery, look for the closest location that accepts electronic waste in your area and drop it off there.

    • Unscrew the two screws from the center panel with a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

    • These screws should have a keyboard icon stamped next to them.

    The photos in this guide seem a little clearer than the other guides I’ve seen.

    • Flip the laptop over then open the lid.

    • Slide the four tabs at the top of the keyboard towards you with your finger.

    • Wedge a finger or spudger in the top corner of the keyboard and hinge it forward to reveal the backside.

    • Do not try to pull the keyboard out of the laptop. There are still cables connected to it that can easily be damaged.

    Good caution.
