Service door disassembly

What you need

    1. Service door disassembly, Remove the battery: step 1, image 1 of 3 Service door disassembly, Remove the battery: step 1, image 2 of 3 Service door disassembly, Remove the battery: step 1, image 3 of 3

      • Turn the laptop upside down and gently lay it down on a flat surface.

      • Slide the battery release latch to the right and the battery will pop up slightly.

      • While keeping the latch slid with one hand, grab the battery with the other hand and remove it by pivoting it upward.

      • At this point some users would turn the laptop upside down once again and press the power button a couple of times. They say that this should help dissipating all of the remaining electricity around the device. Up to you :)

      • With an opening tool pry off the tabs that secure the service door to the base enclosure. Start with the long edge.

      • Continue along the short edges.

      • Once you have pried the service door off as it is in pic#3, it will come out of the rear edge very easily.
