-
Turn the Chromebook upside down. You may want to place paper or another soft material between the lid and your work surface, so as not to scratch it.
-
Remove the 10 (6.14 mm) case screws with a T4 Torx driver.
-
-
-
Using a spudger (or prying tool, or fingernail), gently lift the feet at the rear of the laptop (near the hinges). Get underneath the pad, then release the adhesive by sweeping in a circular motion.
-
Store the feet upside down and not sticking to anything―you can likely re-adhere them after replacing the cover.
-
-
-
Use a #00 screwdriver to remove the 3.17 mm screws from beneath the rear feet.
-
-
-
Using a plastic prying tool (avoid metal, as the case is easily scratched), lift the back cover from the case. The underside of a hinge is a good place to start.
-
You'll feel the cover give way, but there are loose clips holding the lid on. Work gently around the lid, prying and moving beyond clips when you encounter them.
-
-
-
-
Pull away the back cover. You now have access to the battery, the write-protect screw, and other components.
-
-
-
Locate the battery connector. With the large silver/black battery facing you, the connector is just above it, in the middle-left. But first we must remove some tape.

-
Using a spudger or other ESD-safe plastic tool, pry the thick plastic tape and foam top off the connector, just above the multi-colored leading to the connector.
-
You may use tweezers, or fingers, to get a better grip on the tape, but be cautious not to touch metal or electrical components, as the battery is still attached.
-
-
-
Using a spudger or prying tool (but no metal), gently pry one side of the connector up from the board.
-
After one side has popped loose from its socket, repeat the procedure with the other side, until the connector is loose.
-
-
-
Following the wires from the connector back to the battery, you'll find a piece of thick electrical tape about halfway up the wires. Using tweezers, peel up and remove this sticky tape with slow, even force.
-
-
-
Look for Phillips #0 screws to the left and right of the battery, in small bump-outs to attach the battery to the speakers on both sides. Remove these screws.
-
-
-
Pulling from the bottom (near the hinges), gently lift and pull the battery out.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Be sure to replace all the tap and foam pads―they help protect delicate cables and components from impacts.

Thank you so much for this guide - worked great. My repair might not have been successful without this guide.
This was my first experience trying anything like this and it was PERFECT - AWESOME experience. This saved me over $500 from buying a new Chromebook. Thanks again!!
Me too - very straightforward, worked perfectly. Many thanks!
Thank you for this! I used this along with some tools I bought from you guys from an iPad repair and changed out the battery in 15 minutes. It saved me from buying a new Chromebook.
So I needed to replace the battery and the one on your link did nnot give any results so I found a battery online to buy- whihc arrived and I replaced using your guide.But the chroebook says battery doe snot exist, there is noicon.I have tried a frimware update, hard reset everything. when I put back theold battery it finds it, but the replacement it does not recognise. Now I am worried the battery I bought they sent me was faulty? as when I run a battery_firmware check it gives :
