    • Turn the laptop off and unplug it before starting.

    • Flip your laptop over, face down.

  2. QGQlM3aKotfqUK2Z

    • Peel off the two long rubber grips running lengthwise on the laptop.

    • Using a Phillips #000 screwdriver, remove the eleven 10 mm screws located on the underside of the laptop, that are holding the back panel in place.

  4. IZCVJMQK1QifktNc

    • Carefully slide the optical drive out of the laptop.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to separate the back panel from the laptop.

    • For an easier removal, start at the corner and run the tool along the edge of the cover.

    • If you do not have a plastic opening tool, open it carefully using your hands, as shown.

    • Be careful to not bend the back panel, or to not apply too much pressure and force, doing so could cause the panel to break.

    • Disconnect the battery connector.

    • Slide the battery up and out.

    I am about to be working on the 15-db0004ds model that I am having difficulty locating a battery guide for. Based on what I know of the laptop and similar models this looks the closest to the guide I need. There is a battery for sale via iFixit that also looks correct. Do you know if there is another battery model I need instead?
