Turn off the computer.
Disconnect the charging cable from the computer.
Failure to unplug the cable could result in electric shock.
Flip the computer upside down.

Step 2

Step 3

Push and hold the left hand switch outward in the "unlocked" position, then gently slide the battery away from the computer.

Step 4 Back Panel

Remove the seven 5.3 mm Phillips #1 screws holding the back panel in place.

Step 5

Pull the back panel off using the highlighted tab. The tab should give you enough leverage to pull the panel off smoothly.
If the back panel is difficult to remove and feels like it is going to break, DO NOT force it. Check to confirm that all the screws are removed before attempting again.
