Before you begin, be sure to turn off your laptop and unplug it from the outlet.
Use tweezers to pry and remove the center screw cover on the back cover.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the nine 6.8 mm screws securing the back cover.

Use a spudger to pry around the base edges of the back cover to loosen it from the laptop.
Do not fully remove the cover, as it is still attached to the laptop with cables.

If you are only replacing the battery, you can skip this step. Be careful not to strain the still-connected cable as you work.
Unlock the wide ZIF connector securing the flex cable.
To unlock a ZIF connector, use the tip of a spudger or your fingernail to flip up the small, hinged locking flap.
