Einleitung

This guide demonstrates how to remove a Toshiba Satellite L15W-B1208X battery. Reasons the battery might need replacing include not holding a charge, not charging, corrosion, damage, or swelling of the battery itself. If the battery has corrosion, is damaged, or has swollen then wear rubber gloves so that the battery fluids do not leak onto your hands. After the battery is removed, take it to the nearest recycling center that accepts lithium ion batteries for proper disposal.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Turn off your laptop before starting.
Flip the laptop over so that the model number stickers face the ceiling.

This is kind of a ta-da shot. It’s not a big deal here, but make sure you avoid these for complicated procedures.

Schritt 2

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver (PH1 bit) to remove the ten 5mm screws that secure the bottom cover.

Schritt 3

Use an opening pick by sliding it in the seam between the bottom casing and the main body of the laptop. Separate the bottom casing from the main body.
It is recommended that you start on a corner and work your way along the edge of the cover.
Use a plastic opening tool to separate the remainder of the back cover from the laptop.
Be careful not to bend or crack the plastic back cover.

How should I use the opening pick? Note that your bullets are doubled here. I would also just integrate the step about working around into the bullets, as it’s part of the process.

Schritt 4

Disconnect the battery from the motherboard by gently pulling on wiring connecting to the motherboard.
Carefully lift the battery out of the laptop.

What are you doing with your finger in the first shot? Do you need to push down on that black tab to release the battery? If so, make the first bullet clearer. If it’s just showing where the piece is, then use markup instead of your finger to avoid confusion.
