Introduction

This is a prerequisite guide! This guide is part of another procedure and isn't meant to be used alone.

Tools

Step 1

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% and power down your device before disassembly.
Use your Phillips screwdriver to remove the seven screws securing the back cover:
Three 5 mm-long screws
Four 7.5 mm-long screws
Loosen the three captive screws.

Step 2

Flip the laptop upright and open the lid so that the keyboard is exposed.
Insert an opening pick between the front right corner of the back cover and the chassis.
Pry upward to release the retaining clips holding the cover.
You'll hear clicks whenever a clip is released.
Repeat this procedure for the opposite corner.

Mit Öffnen des Displays startet der Rechner - der muss natürlich sofort wieder heruntergefahren werden vor Öffnen des Gehäuses!

Step 3

Insert an opening pick between the front edge of the back cover and the chassis, near the trackpad.
Pry upward to release the clips along the front edge of the laptop.

Step 4

Close the screen to the laptop and flip it over.
Pull the left side of the back cover away from the frame and remove it.
If your back cover is stuck to the chassis, use an opening pick to release the clips around the back cover's perimeter.

Step 5

Pull the tab on the head of the battery cable away from the socket to disconnect the battery.

Newer Dell OEM batteries may not have a pull tab (or a tab as long as the one shown) on the connector to help. So, you can use 2 spudgers or your fingernails to press on both sides of the white part of the connector in order to gently pull out the battery connector.
