Replacing the Battery

WARNING:

Before working inside your computer, read the safety information

that shipped with your computer. For additional safety best practices information,
see the Regulatory Compliance Homepage at
www.dell.com/regulatory_compliance.

WARNING:

A new battery can explode if it is incorrectly installed. Replace the

battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

1 Record all the screens in system setup (see "System Setup" on page 97) so

that you can restore the correct settings in step 10.

2 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 13.
3 Remove the computer cover (see "Replacing the Computer Cover" on page 17).
4 Locate the battery socket (see "System Board Components" on page 8).

CAUTION:

If you pry the battery out of its socket with a blunt object, be careful

not to touch the system board with the object. Ensure that the object is inserted
between the battery and the socket before you attempt to pry out the battery.
Otherwise, you may damage the system board by prying off the socket or by
breaking circuit traces on the system board.
