Introdução

This guide will show how to replace a battery for a Dell XPS 16 9640 laptop computer. This repair can help if your computer is not turning on or has a reduced battery life.

This requires steady hands to avoid damaging any important components.

Before you begin the battery replacement, unplug and power off your laptop. For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your device. To discharge the battery, hold the power button down for one minute. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

    • Pop open the back cover. The cover is attached to the computer via clips around the perimeter.

    • Lift the lid up and off with your fingers. If it is stuck, use a plastic pry tool to gently open it. Do this by wedging the tool under the cover and pushing down until the clip comes undone.

    • Use the #00 Phillips head screwdriver to work around the battery and unscrew each screw. There are 6 total. Place the screws in a separate place from the case screws because they are a different size.

    • Avoid touching anything with the screwdriver that is not indicated in these instructions. This avoids damage to other components.
