1. Remove the bottom plate

Accessing this laptop’s internals is pretty easy. Just undo all 6 captive Phillips-head screws, and pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool or a guitar pick.


2. Battery

Despite its weird shape and large footprint, the battery has a capacity of only 44.5Wh. To take it out, you have to remove a ton of screws and mind the cables that run around it.
