Difficulty

Steps

Time Required

Introduction

If the battery in your Acer Chromebook CB315-3HT-C3FQ is no longer functioning properly, then the best course of action is probably to replace it. If you have made that decision then this guide will take you through the steps to replace it.

Tools

Step 1

Flip the Chromebook over so the bottom is facing up.

Step 2

Remove all 10 screws that hold the bottom panel in place using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.

Step 3

Use an iFixit opening tool to pry the bottom panel up and detach it from the rest of the Chromebook.

Step 4

Always wear an anti-static wrist strap when working with an electronic device, as static electricity from your hand could damage it.
To use the anti-static strap, attach the strap to your wrist and then attach the end of the cord to something that is also metal, preferably something in your Chromebook. This strap will discharge any static electricity that you build up instead of it going into the metal parts of your computer, which could damage the components.

Step 5

Remove the thermal tape that covers the wires connecting the battery to the motherboard.
Move the thermal tape to the side so you can put it back on afterwards.
