Schritt 1

Power off the device before starting.
Flip the device over with the hinges facing away from you.
Remove seven 5.0 mm Torx T5 screws.
Remove three 9.5 mm Torx T5 screws.

Schritt 2

Pry around the edges from one side to another with a plastic opening tool.
Do not pry on the side with the hinges because this can break the cover.
Lift the case from the front until you feel resistance.
Do not keep lifting after you feel resistance, or the bottom cover can break.
Pull the cover towards you, away from the hinges.
Completely lift off the cover.

Schritt 3

Remove the six 5.2mm Torx T5 screws holding the fan in place.
Remove the five 5.0mm Torx T5 screws holding the fan in place.

Only remove the orange set if you don't plan on swapping thermal paste. Red is for thermal paste, orange is for chassis disassembly

Schritt 4

Disconnect the two fan wire connectors.
Firmly pull the connector out horizontally away from the socket.
Carefully lift the fan up and out.

Thanks for a great explanation!

It is physically possible to remove just one of the fans? Right one (on right side with laptop open).

Schritt 5

Remove the four 4mm screws surrounding the battery with a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
Each is marked by "M2x5" with a small white arrow pointing to the screw itself.

Schritt 6

Pull firmly on the battery connector to disconnect it.

Schritt 7

Lift the battery out of the case to remove it.

Before installing the new battery. I recomend doing a battery drain, hold the power button for 30 seconds to discharge any capaciters.

I ran into an issue where once i pulled the battery out and tried to put either the new or old battery back in. When i would try to turn the laptop back on with the power switch, the keyboard back light would blink every few seconds and nothing would come on the screen at all. Doing a battery drain between pulling a battery and puting a new one in fixed the issue.
