Swapping the battery out is one of the easiest steps

Swapping the battery out is one of the easiest steps.

Gently lift the blue battery and lay it to the side. You must disconnect it from the motherboard before you can take it out completely. Set the new one in and attach the connector. If the battery cable is jutting out, gently tuck it inside the space between the battery and the connector--you'll want it to be as streamlined as possible when sliding the motherboard back into the body. Don't forget to properly dispose of the dead battery.
