The referenced video describes removing the internal battery of a Thinkpad T480. To remove the battery, you'll need to remove two screws holding it in place after you've already disassembled the laptop to access the internal components.
Here's a breakdown based on the reference:
- Disassembly: (This step isn't detailed in the provided transcript but is a prerequisite). You must first disassemble the laptop to expose the internal battery.
- Screw Removal: Remove the two screws that secure the battery to the laptop's chassis.
- Battery Removal: Once the screws are removed, carefully detach the old battery.
- Battery Stall/Installation: Install the new battery. The transcript mentions "battery stall" which likely refers to installing/connecting the new battery.
Important Considerations:
- Safety First: Disconnect the laptop from the power adapter and any external devices before starting.
- Static Electricity: Work in a static-free environment and ground yourself to prevent damaging the laptop's components.
- Specific Model: This guidance is based on the T480 model. The process may vary for different ThinkPad models. Consult the specific service manual for your ThinkPad.
- Internal vs. External: The referenced video likely refers to the internal battery. Some older ThinkPads have external batteries that are easily removable without disassembly. To remove an external battery, simply release the latches that secure it to the laptop.
