Step-by-Step Process

Step 1: Remove the rubber feet

Before you begin, power down your laptop and unplug it.

There are [link|https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/lRQYnJPK1QMXOcJE.full|new_window=true|two kinds of rubber feet] along the top and bottom of the rear case. Keep track of their position as you remove them.

Insert an opening pick between the rubber foot and the rear case.

Pry up with the opening pick to release the clips securing the foot.

Remove the foot.

Repeat this procedure for the three remaining feet.

During reassembly, press the feet into their correct slot to reinsert them. Mismatched feet won't fit correctly.

Step 2: Unfasten the rear case

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four 4.5 mm-long screws securing the rear case.

Step 3: Insert an opening pick

Apply a suction cup to the rear case, as close to the center of the bottom edge as possible.

Pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap between the rear case and the frame.

Insert an opening pick into the gap.

Step 4: Release the clips

Slide the pick along the bottom edge of the rear case to release its plastic clips.

Repeat this process for the left and right edges, but ***stop before reaching the top edge.***

Step 5: Remove the rear case

The top edge of the rear case is lightly adhered to the frame.

Pull the top of the rear case away from the frame to separate the adhesive and release the remaining clips.

Remove the rear case.

During reassembly, perform the following:

If you're using a using a genuine Samsung replacement rear case, be sure to peel off any adhesive liners from the rear case before securing the top edge's clips.

If you're reusing your rear case, you can use some [link|During reassembly, %5Bhttps://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Use+a+Pre-Cut+Adhesive+Sheet/113604%7Cfollow this guide|new_window=true%5D if you are using a pre-cut adhesive card.|new_window=true|pre-cut adhesive] to re-adhere the top edge if your existing adhesive is no longer sticky.

This is a good point to power on your laptop and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your laptop back down completely before you continue working.

Step 6: Disconnect the battery

Insert a spudger between the frame and the bottom of the battery cable connector.

Pry up and disconnect the battery cable connector.

Step 7: Unfasten the battery

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four 4.5 mm-long screws securing the battery.

Take care not to puncture the battery with your screwdriver—a punctured battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a fire.

Step 8: Remove the battery

Lift the battery straight out of the frame and remove it.
