Introduction

The battery is responsible for a device to function without being plugged into an external power source. Signs of a faulty battery include the laptop losing a charge more quickly than usual, not turning on when not attached to an external power source, or not turning on at all.

Make sure you have read the troubleshooting page before starting this guide to rule out other causes of the computer not charging.

If the battery appears swollen, please use safety measures to prevent fire cased by a punctured battery.

Power off and unplug the laptop before beginning the replacement.
