Warning
This device contains a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery with soft battery cells. Battery
safety is the number one concern when repairing a device with a built-in lithium-ion battery.
Only technicians with the knowledge, experience, and tools required to repair electronic
devices should replace a battery.
Improper battery replacement, improper handling of parts, failure to discharge the battery
before repair, or failure to follow the provided instructions could cause battery overheating,
swelling, venting, leaking, or a battery thermal event. These events could result in fire, injury,
death, data loss, or damage to the device, parts, or other property.
To avoid these potentially harmful events, follow the battery safety guidelines and work in
a safety-focused workspace with the tools listed below. It’s important to be prepared for all
possible outcomes.
