Einleitung

Over time, nearly every battery is going to need to be replaced. Is it time to replace yours? This is how you can do that.

    • Use the spudger to separate the back plate from the rest of the computer with the screen up like in the picture.

    • Once the back plate is loose, close the screen for an easier time properly removing it.

    For those with a GS63VR 7RG, do not pry the back plate loose first, as there are little tabs in the center of the back plate that will break if you do. Take the bottom plate off first, and then release the clips holding the back plate to the bottom plate. Also, the part number for the GS63VR 7RG is BTY-M6K.

    I confirm mjf24 comment.

    I have a GS63 Stealth 8RE and the back plate can’t be removed 1st. Otherwise it breaks.

    Bottom plate 1st.

    Actually when the bottom plate is removed, the hdd is accessible and there is no need to remove the back plate.

    I regret attempting to remove the back plate before showing these comments. I unnecessarily broke a few tabs in the process.

    • Using a Phillips Head #1 screwdriver, unscrew the 15 screws on the bottom of the device

    • After all the screws are unscrewed, remove the bottom plate. If this is the first time that you are removing this back cover, the last screw is hidden under the "factory seal" label. You will need to break that label to reach that screw.

    • Keep track of all the screws and which slot they came from, as they slightly differ. We recommend this system: lay out on a piece of paper and pretending the paper is the device. Place the screws on the paper approximately where they would go.

    • Another method for keeping track of all the screws would be to secure each removed screw near the hole that it was removed from with a piece of painters or masking tape. This type of tape is easy to remove from the fuzzy surface but strong enough to secure the screw to the back cover.

    What if I didn't keep track of the screw placement? Right now, all I know is that there are 8 screws slightly shorter than the other 6 (excluding screw under factory seal).

    Hoping for an answer to the screw placement as well. I originally did keep track of it, but accidentally mixed up the screws together. Also noticed 8 were of one size and 6 of another.

    Same here .. i mix them .. and i ask msi too.. but i don`t get a mail.. do you find the answer ?

    I’m looking for the same answer. 2 different screw sizes. Which screws go in which holes?

    Which screws go where?

    Joe Schroedl -

    When I swapped out the battery, I noticed the slightly longer screws were at the center back between the hinges and the interior area screws, (two located between fan vents, one under the factory seal and the other in approximately the same location on other side). I didn’t actually check the one under the seal - the tape held that one in place, but assumed it was similar to the other interior screws. All the perimeter screws except the back center were shorter ones.

    • Locate the battery.

    • Wedge the spudger underneath the battery, and apply pressure to lift it away from the rest of the device.

    • Gently pull and wiggle the multiple colored wired connector out from the socket.

    • If you are removing the original battery, the back has a couple foam strips that were installed for cushioning. Those can be carefully removed and placed on the new replacement battery, but it is not necessary.

    If you are to simply replace the HDD, this step is pointless. There is no need to remove the battery to replace the HDD.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Please note, everyone that is replacing. Please replace this with this type of battery model: BTY-M6J. Or else your battery may get damage.
