Lenovo L17C3PG2 Battery

Step 1

Allow your laptop's battery to drain below 25% before starting this repair—a charged battery may catch fire if damaged.
Unplug all cables and fully shut down your laptop.

Step 2

Flip your laptop over so the rubber feet are facing up.

Step 3

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 11 screws securing the back cover:
Five 11.5 mm‑long screws
Six 4.7 mm-long screws

Step 4

Insert the flat side of an opening pick between the top right corner of the back cover and frame.

Step 5

Plastic clips secure the back cover to the frame. You'll hear and feel them release as you work.
Keep the pick angled upwards while sliding to help release the clips.
Slide the opening pick down the right edge and around the bottom right corner to release the clips.

Step 6

Slide the opening pick along the front edge and up to the top left corner to release the remaining clips securing the back cover.

Step 7

Remove the back cover.

Step 8

During reassembly:
Slide the two tabs near the center of the back cover's top edge under the hinge cover.
Press down firmly around the perimeter of the back cover to engage all the clips.

Step 9

A stiff, black cover runs across the heatsink and fans.
Removing the cover makes repairs much easier, but isn't required. If you don't want to remove the cover, you can roll it onto itself to keep it out of the way and skip the next two steps.
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the cover for two minutes.
You can also use a hair dryer. Follow this guide for more instructions.

Step 10

Gently peel up and remove the black cover.
During reassembly, press the cover back into place using the residual adhesive.

Step 11

Use the flat end of a spudger to push the battery connector straight out of its socket.
Push the tab on top of the battery connector, not the wires themselves.

Step 12

Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the five 5.7 mm‑long screws securing the battery.

Step 13

Remove the battery.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Check your repair by running hardware tests with Lenovo Diagnostics.

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery after completing this guide.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Worked great! My laptop looks a little different, and I didn’t have a black cover to worry about, but the essentials of this guide were super helpful.
