Every electronic device powered by batteries will eventually need a replacement, as batteries degrade over time with use. After a long time of use, the battery can begin to deteriorate losing functionality much like a phone after years of use. Symptoms of a deteriorating battery include shorter charge time, difficulty recharging, or complete failure. These are common signs of declining battery health. In this guide, we’ll walk you through replacing the battery located beneath the left ear pad. Be prepared to carefully navigate around the daughterboard during the replacement. Following these steps will ensure your device regains its optimal performance with a fully functional battery.
Each of the screws for this project are the same 6.3mm Phillips head screws.
