Can I remove and replace battery by myself? Or do I need to take it to a computer store?

On my Dell XPS there is a switch/button that pops the battery out for you. Just make sure your computer is off so and that you've saved whatever you were working on!

Yes, you can remove the battery, no need to take it to the store. On a Dell XPS, the battery is located in the back on the underside of your laptop. There is a sliding switch below the battery that will release the current battery - then go ahead and fit the new battery in and it should click right in. All of this said, when I ordered this same battery (non-Dell) it had an error message each time I booted up my laptop and didn't hold a charge for even an hour. I sent it back but wished I had read some of the reviews. Buyer beware.

You can o it yourself, no special skills, I am a female senior citizen, did not have a problem. Check your manual, on my laptop there is a slide release on the bottom which releases the battery, take it out and replace with new one. Will need to charge for extended period of time. good luck

Not likely removing the screw will aid in removing your battery. Maybe you need to ask someone close to you about removing your battery.

Turn off the laptop power. Then,slide and release the old battery before snap the new one in - there is only one way the battery can get in.

Hi Todd, a fixed battery is replaceable. If you feel comfortable enough doing it yourself you may; however, I suggest contacting the manufacturing company first. Sometimes fixed hardware can be difficult to replace yourself especially if the case is closed. In regards to the hard-drive question, both hard-drives are replaceable.

Not sure have to probably take it into to radio shack or some place like that. I know the battery has a very short life. I have to re-charge mine almost every day even if it has not been used.

All batteries are replaceable, it all depends on the type of battery that determines the ease of replacement. The Acer Aspire uses a Lithium Ion battery, which is a thin little battery built into the computer. To replace the battery would me to unscrew the bottom plate and pull out the battery. There is no click-and-pull-out battery here. It's a little work but the result is a lighter computer, which is why most computer companies are moving towards these batteries. It's a little more work, but it is very possible to remove and replace the battery.

Technically, you COULD replace the battery but the battery is sealed in the unit so the operation would constitute an unnatural act and, probably soldering and things like that. So, no it is not a consumer replaceable battery.

No, on this model the battery is non removable in the usual sense, at least not in the usual way of having a battery that pops out with a release mechanism as are found on older laptops. I suppose it's possible to unscrew and open up the case to change the battery, but that would likely void the manufacturer's warranty.

I've not had to replace the battery. Perhaps the manufacturer could give you an answer. Locally we have a store that advertised they have any kind of battery needed so if I did need one I'd try that store first. They might have economical batteries and would be a local access if you needed more batteries in the future . Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I am not aware of the availabiliy of a replacement keyboard or how to replace the battery

yes, you may replace it. just youtube it, even search here for battery replacement, i did it it looks like regular battery and its easy to remove once you open the case

There's no simple way to replace the battery. I see some screws that might be opened, but no idea what might be inside. For the price though... a typical lithium battery for a phone would cost you half what the whole keyboard does.

It is not designed for the owner to replace the battery, however if you are handy you can open it up and replace the battery, it's soldered in so you should be comfortable with a soldering iron.

Yes, it should be that easy. Turn the laptop off, unplug the power supply, take your battery out, then clip the new in just like the other. Should be good to go.

You will have to disassemble the bottom part and open up the computer to replace the battery. It is not easy. The battery holds charge between 1.5 hr to 2 hr depending on what you do.

You need a small screwdriver, I believe a Phillips head, to open the battery compartment. You can replace battery. If it still doesn't turn on then you need to send back to replace.

No you can not replace the battery it is internal. It does have the option to connect an audio cord to it so that when the batter no longer works it is still functional.
