Introduction

This guide is for doing a battery replacement in the case that your battery is old and/or doesn't work anymore. The guide includes how to open up the back up the laptop in order to get to the battery. There is only a small tricky part in the final removal of the battery where you have to disconnect the connection of the battery on the logic board. Keep in mind that batteries can be hazardous if not handled carefully.
