Save any open files on your computer, then shut off your Dell computer altogether. Be sure to double-check to ensure that your computer is not receiving any power. It is critical that no power is being sent to the unit as you proceed to remove the battery. Make sure the AC adapter is not plugged in and that the power indicator light is not on.

Locate the two small latches of your battery such as dell INSPIRON 2600 battery, dell INSPIRON 2650 battery, dell 1G222 battery, dell BAT3151L8 battery, dell Latitude X300 battery, dell W0465 battery, dell Inspiron 2000 battery, dell Latitude LS battery, dell 2834T battery, dell 4834T battery, which will be near the connector. Release both latches, which will be located on the left and right sides of the battery. To unlock these two latches, use a tiny flathead screwdriver. Use the flathead screwdriver to loosen the assortment of screws, and then remove each one. Be sure to save each of these tiny screws as you will need them to replace the battery once you are finished. It is advisable to place each screw in a plastic or Ziploc bag for temporary storage during the procedure.

Use a special prying mechanism for this step. This mechanism should be whatever can fit in between the battery covers on the inside without breaking, getting stuck or becoming immobile as a result. This may include any number of household objects like a paper clip. Take this small, thin device and work one or more between the battery covers on each side.

Place a guitar pick between the battery connector and the battery cover to keep them from snapping back together.

Insert the second guitar pick between the sides of the battery cover and slide the pick along the side to unlock the hidden latches inside it. Do this on the left and right sides of the battery.

Remove the Phillips-head screws at the four corners and at other sealed points on the bottom of the laptop. Most laptop computers are secured with at least 12 screws. For example, Dell laptops are secured with 24 screws on the back cabinet, including two screws that secure the cover for the hard drive.

Remove the covers for individual components, such as the hard drive and the memory, from the bottom of the laptop. Keep all internal components with the covers that secure them. The hard drive, for example, can be removed and set on its protective cover for easy replacement.

Lift the bottom cover straight off the laptop, taking care not to jostle any internal parts as you remove the cover. If you encounter any resistance, stop and identify the stuck part. Do not attempt to force the cover off the laptop.

Place the screws in a cup or container for safekeeping, as they can roll off the table and become lost. It is very risky to operate a laptop with missing screws because internal parts are held in place partly by pressure from a secure cover.

Remove any latches preventing you from opening your computer. Laptops are all made differently and may have latches or strips of metal or plastic preventing the case from coming apart. For example, according to our sites many Dell laptops have a keyboard strip along the top side of the computer (underneath the screen) that you will need to gently pry up and remove before opening your laptop.

Take out any small modules, which are plastic coverings usually held to the laptop by screws that allows you to access certain components without taking the entire case off. To open the laptop case, these need to be removed.
