    • Slide the iFixit Opening Tool under the back cover to lift it up.

    • Pull up on the cover with your hand to release the tab holding the center of the cover in place.

    Die Mitte der unteren Abdeckung wird von zwei Plastiknoppen am Gerät gehalten. Wenn die Schrauben gelöst sind, mit beiden Händen unter die Abdeckung greifen und nach oben gerade wegziehen.

    The center of the bottom cover is held to the device by a two pronged plastic clip. When the screws are loosened, I reached under to the center of the cover with a dinner knife and pried straight up.

    • Grab the grouping of wires with your fingers close to the connector and gently pull to disconnect the battery from the motherboard.

    • The wire grouping is located underneath the thin flap near the center of the battery.

    • Do not lift the battery out before disconnection from the motherboard to prevent shortages or damage.

    This was the hardest step for me. My comments: The thin flap covering the wires is just a flap of the plastic covering around the battery. The connector fits tightly, needs to be really tugged out. You may need to bend the group of wires to get the new connector to seat in place. There will be a thin edge of the connector still sticking out when you have it seated. I needed to use a very thin bit from the ifixit kit to press the new connector into place. Great guide, worked perfectly!

    Das Kabel ließ sich bei mir tatsächlich relativ leicht vom Akku ziehen. Das Aufstecken war dann aber umso schwerer und ich hatte zwischenzeitlich Angst, die Steckeraufnahme am Motherboard zu beschädigen. Der Stecker muss wirklich tief in die Aufnahme geschoben werden und bei mir war das nur unter Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeug möglich. Die iFixit-Plastiktools waren leider wenig hilfreich. Am Ende habe ich es nur mit Unterstützung der Griffstücke (hinteren Enden) der beiden Pinzetten meines Pro Tech Toolkits geschafft. Der Rest war dann einfach - auch wenn der Stecker des rückseitigen Deckels nicht mehr in die dafür vorgesehene Aufnahme des Akku geklippt werden konnte. Leider hat der Torx-Aufsatz (T5) etwas gelitten und musste nach dem Lösen und Befestigen der 10 Yoga-Schrauben getauscht werden. Die Spitze scheint etwas zu weich zu sein. Ansonsten gute Anleitung und perfektes Konzept.

What is the correct replacement battery for this device?

Stephen Prather -

Isaac Stahl -

I completed the replacement but when I turn on the computer I have gotten one of two messages: 1) incorrect voltage, 2) no battery detected. Therefore the battery isn’t charging. What should I do?

Richard Ho -

The instructions and photos were spot on. I would suggest adding a optional step of vacuuming or air spraying the interior after battery removal. Maybe adding Loctite to the screw although I don’t think my PC needed more.

I would not recommend either using Loctite or vacuuming. Unless you subject your device to ungodly amounts of vibration (which you still shouldn't do) using loctite will do nothing besides make your life harder next time you have to open the case. Vacuuming can spin the fans and cause them to induce a current that can destroy parts of your device.

Hello, did someone come back to you about this issue?

I am about to buy a new battery but I have been reading that this issue is common and now I'm a bit hesitant to buy it here.

Thanks!
