We start with a Japanese industrial standard number one screwdriver, but you can also use Philips type. Let's undo the nine captive screws holding the bottom panel. The screws stay in the cover so nothing rolls off the desk. Using a thin plastic pry tool, we begin releasing the locking clips around the edge. Skip the section in front of the heat sink. Pushing the tool too deep there can bend the fins. We finish loosening any stubborn screw. Pop the last clips and lift the cover away. To remove the battery, we first disconnect its cable from the motherboard. board. Next, we undo five screws. One comes all the way out. The other four are captive in the battery frame.
