Introduction
If your Dell XPS 17 9710 is not powering on, not staying on when not connected to the charger, or is not holding a charge for very long, you may need to replace the battery.
Before following this guide, first try using a new power cable. The power cable might be dead.
Before beginning, make sure to completely power off the device.

Conclusion
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
I found it easiest to start with the opening tool at the center front, where there’s a little dip in the bottom panel for LED light. Start there, and work your way around to the back along each side.
