If your laptop will not start up or stay charged you may need to replace the battery. It is not a difficult project and the hardest part will be prying the back piece off.

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.

Shut down and unplug your device before beginning.

    • Shut down and unplug your device before proceeding.

    • Remove the thirteen 6.5 mm screws from the base plate using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

    • Flip the laptop on its side and wedge a spudger between the base panel and chassis, then pry around the perimeter until the base panel releases.

    • To get a better grip you may want to open the laptop slightly.

    • Lift the bottom panel off of the chassis.

    • During reassembly, make sure that the bottom panel clicks back into place on all four sides of the laptop.

    • Disconnect the battery connector by pulling the battery cable directly out of its port, toward the battery.

    • Do not pull on the socket itself or you risk damaging the motherboard.

    • If necessary, apply force and slowly wiggle the connector out of its socket. It should work its way out slowly.

    • Lift the battery up and out of the chassis.

I’ve damaged mine at step 4 and i don’t know how. Now the plug is loose and at the slightest touch, it goes into failure…I don’t now how to solve this, maybe replace the socket on the board by a new one. :(
