    • To remove the old battery, slightly lift the bottom edge of the battery with your hands

    • Now slowly pull the battery towards you to fully detach the battery

    Good guide :)

    Note also: there are some small hooks on the battery that form a channel for the harddrive cable to be recessed into on its way to the main board. Its hard to see in the photos. And OP's laptop may have already had this cable untucked from the channel.

    If applicable, be careful to untuck the cable before/while you pull the battery back!

    Hello Austin,

    according to the very last step where you separate the screen from the glass/touch-unit: is it possible to take out the screen without any problems? I would have expected that it is fixed to the glass with a kind of glue or anything similar? Someone has told me that separating the lcd from the glass could cause damage to the touchfunctioniality.

    thanks

Hi, I was wondering if there's any possibility of cross compatibility between i7378 and i7359 from dell? My computer is the i7359 but I haven't been able to find a reasonably priced replacement display. Thank you very much! Also, I found this alternate guide suggesting that the screen can be replaced slightly more easily than the manual and this guide suggests, is this process feasible? https://www.insidemylaptop.com/replacing...
