Removing the Battery

Record all the screens in system setup (see "System Setup" on page 69) so
that you can restore the correct settings after the new battery has been
installed.

3
Remove the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on
page 15).

Locate the battery socket (see "System Board Components" on page 8).
CAUTION: If you pry the battery out of its socket with a blunt object, be careful
not to touch the system board with the object. Ensure that the object is inserted
between the battery and the socket before you attempt to pry out the battery.
Otherwise, you may damage the system board by prying off the socket or by
breaking circuit traces on the system board.
