HP Chromebook 11 G3 Battery Replacement

Step 1 Keyboard Mount



• Flip the laptop upside down so that the lid lies flat on the table.
• Remove the nine 6mm Phillips #00 screws that line the border.
Step 2



• Remove the two rubber feet closest to the hinge using tweezers.
• Remove the two 6mm Phillips #00 screws revealed under these rubber feet.
• The rubber feet may tear while removal; preventing this can be difficult, but it won’t harm the laptop. If desired, replace these rubber feet during reassembly.
Step 3
• Flip the laptop so it is in the upright position.
• Open the lid.
• Unsnap the keyboard mount along the border of the laptop using a plastic opening tool.
• This may require more force than expected. Hearing loud clicks as the plastic opening tool slides along the seam is normal.
Step 4
• Tilt the keyboard mount up.
• Use a spudger to flip up the two ZIF connector retaining flaps for the ribbon cables that connect the keyboard mount to the motherboard.
• Gently remove both ribbon cables.
Step 5
• Lift the keyboard mount out of the laptop.
Step 6 Battery
• Gently remove the battery’s rainbow-colored bundled cable from the motherboard.
Step 7
• Remove the six 4 mm Phillips #00 screws located along the perimeter of the battery.
Step 8
• Lift out the battery.
• The laptop may tip backwards onto its lid due to uneven weight distribution.
