Steps
1. Using the pull tab, disconnect the battery cable from the connector on the system board.
2. Remove the five screws (M2x3) that secure the 4-cell battery to the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
3. Lift the 4-cell battery, along with the battery cable, off the palm-rest and keyboard assembly.
NOTE:
Computers shipped with an aluminum chassis have two RF metal wall brackets installed on the left and right
sides of the palm-rest and keyboard assembly. The right bracket is secured by the battery with no screw, tape, or
adhesives otherwise securing the bracket in place. As a result, technicians should take note of whether the bracket has
fallen out of the computer during subsequent removal procedures.
