Einleitung

This guide shows how to replace a defective battery from a Poin2 Chromebook 11, remove the battery to test the device's power adapter, or remove the battery in order to access another component.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Power down the Poin2 Chromebook 11 and disconnect the power adapter.
Close the Chromebook and position it with the base facing up.
Use a #0 Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the ten 7mm screws that hold the base to the rest of the frame
Poin2 Chromebook 11 does not have screws under its rubber feet at the base.

Rubber feet at the base DO have screws. I broke mine not knowing this.

Schritt 2

Insert a 1cm-wide plastic opening tool between the base and top frame.
Applying pressure up and down with the tool may be necessary. When you hear a "click," this indicates the separation of the frame.
Pry (up and down) around the entire border of the Chromebook to separate.
Use your hands to gently lift the base away from the frame.

Schritt 3

Disconnect the white 8-wire battery connector from the motherboard using a spudger to push the two L-shaped clips out of the port.
The connector is a tight fit and requires careful pressure for release.
