Make sure that the computer is turned off and is disconnected from external power source.
Turn it upside down and locate the battery release switch.

Step 2

While holding the switch in the open position, lift out the battery.
If you plan to work on any internal laptop components, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. This will dissipate any residual charge on the motherboard to prevent electrical shock when you begin to handle it.
