Why Replace Your Battery? Laptop batteries degrade over time. If your battery doesn’t hold a charge well or if your laptop is physically bulging (a sign of battery expansion), it’s time to replace it.
Tools You’ll Need:
- PH000 Phillips screwdriver
- PH1 Phillips screwdriver
- A new battery (for this model, look for part number 3HWPP)
Step-by-Step Battery Replacement Guide:
- Removing the Back Cover:
- Start by removing the screws on the back of the laptop. The top screws don’t come off completely; they just loosen. The middle and bottom screws are removable.
- Gently pry off the back cover, starting from the top.
- Battery Removal:
- First, disconnect the battery connector by sliding it out.
- Switch to the PH1 screwdriver and remove the two screws holding the battery. Note that the black screw on the right stays attached to the battery.
- Carefully lift and remove the battery.
- Installing the New Battery:
- Slide the connector of the new battery into its slot.
- Align the battery at the bottom, ensuring it sits properly.
- Screw in the black screw on the right and the two Phillips screws above the battery.
- Reassembling the Laptop:
- Place the back cover back on the laptop. It’s normal to hear cracking sounds as the clippers latch back.
- Use the PH000 screwdriver to replace all the screws.
