This is not a Precision 5530 2 in 1. Instructions are very similar, but the battery connector is in the middle of the unit and there are two screws that go over top of battery connector connecting a heat sink. Secondly, there are no screws in the middle of the cover, only around the perimeter.
Also, worth noting that the cover is very difficult to remove the first time.
