Dell Chromebook 11-3120 Battery Replacement

Introduction

When a laptop's battery becomes old and obsolete it may not be able to hold a charge and will need to be replaced. A new battery allows for a better power supply to important parts to the laptop for optimal usage. When removing the battery, it is important to be careful and use caution. You will need a #J0 Philips Screwdriver for the removal of the battery.

What you need

Step 2

Use the plastic opening tool to gently pry around the four sides of the back panel until the panel is fully released.
Taking the back cover off of the computer may require more force than expected. When using the opening tool, be careful not to use too much force on it, and make sure all the screws are removed.
