hardware component that is not externally accessible and requires a small amount of disassembly to
replace.
The 4-cell replacement battery instructions are listed below in quick simple steps. Before using this
guide make sure that the battery can no longer function in one of two ways, use a multimeter to test
battery strength or check the settings on the laptop if possible.
If the battery is swollen be careful and proceed with caution and take appropriate precautions.
