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

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Great, thanks. Now, how to replace the keyboard? :) From what I can see (opening back), it looks like whole system has to come apart… :(

Hi Richard!

I’m not sure—I don’t have the laptop anymore. This Youtube video suggests that a keyboard replacement may be a relatively easy fix, but I can’t guarantee that. Good luck and happy fixing!
