    • Pull on outer latch.

    • Lower door until it is level with your work surface.

    • Before working on the computer make sure it is not plugged into a power supply, then touch a metal object. This discharges static electricity, which could damage the computer.

    Fino a li lo intuisce anche un bambino. Io volevo sapere come levare l'altro sportello senza rompere niente. Ma una vodtra risposta non la vedo.

Nice simple post. You might make the battery number / size more obvious, for anxious nerds like me…

Thank you!

Not bad, but PMU button location is not explained… the button on the front to start it?

Hi

Will a 3V Lithium battery work or must it be 3.6V?

Please advise.

The PMU reset button is inside the casing, on the same circuit board as the backup battery holder. See the second photo, it's a small silver square with a circular black button inset into its top and PMU Reset in tiny white lettering beside it. The photo shows it near to the battery holder but on my model the button is further away on the far corner of the circuit board. Look around for it. Insert the new battery then press the reset ONE time only.
