    • Remove four screws holding battery in place and remove battery.

    • The 4 perimeter screws also hold the tow audio speakers in place. And there is a 5th screw dead center of the battery. The battery cable is not easy to remove, nor is it easy to re-connect.

    Hi! Does anybody know where to get the little black clip that fixes the fan cable to the connector? Unfortunately I broke it when I removed the fan. Any other suggestions on how to fix the cable are appreciated.

Great guide. I do recommend ordering the recommended tools, especially the spudger. There isn’t a lot of room to get the battery cable disconnected, so some of my other spudgers weren’t sturdy enough or wouldn’t have fit. My computer is working again and I didn’t have to pay a king’s ransom and wait 3 weeks (hey, I’m in Montana! I’m lucky to find anyone to fix a computer). Thanks!
