Hi.
The hardest part is step 2 above: ‘pry up the bottom case.’ I haven’t had any luck. What is that white thing that you use? I tried an old credit card, but it seems too thick. I may need something thinner.
You can use guitar picks.
Hi David, many thanks for posting this guide. I’m trying to replace the battery on my Ativ Book 9 Lite. The connector is the same as shown above, but I can’t see how to remove the plug from the socket. It doesn’t seem possible to move the two pins on either side of the plug (if they are indeed pins). I’d be very grateful if you could let me know how to do this. I’m sure I’m missing something obvious. I’ve tried moving it upwards as advised by someone on Twitter, but this obviously isn’t right; please refer to this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAiX6lr_bTI. It doesn’t want to budge, and I obviously don’t want to break it.
Good info
Hi.
I have a problem with this model; my laptop doesn’t turn on.
The battery does not charge when I insert the charger, and the light on the laptop is flashing.
If you know the solution, I will be happy to know.
Shlomi.
Hi, is the memory upgradable? I’m planning to upgrade the memory to 500GB SSD. Thanks
