Introduction

The battery is the power bank that gives power to each component in the computer. After time they become inefficient or incapable of holding a charge at all. A bad battery can also get extremely hot under normal use. This can cause your computer to shut off without warning.

Before using this guide, check out the troubleshooting page to see if your symptoms match any that represent a bad battery.

You can also use this guide to upgrade the battery instead of using the original battery.

This replacement requires a #00 Phillips head screwdriver.

NOTE: This guide requires removal of the back panel and includes the extra prerequisite guide steps.
