Replacing Batteries

Replacing Batteries
When your battery runs out of power, you have two options: plug
in the computer or replace the battery with a charged spare, if you
have one. You may need to replace the battery if it becomes dam-
aged or wears out after long years of use.
Replacing the battery requires you to open up part of the
computer. Be careful when you're following these steps.
To replace the battery, follow these steps:
1 Turn the computer off.
2 Turn the computer upside down.
