The idea of opening the case with a guitar pick is genius! Thanks man, this was truly a very helpful video

[WelshJotun]

Thank you for keeping things simple and visually helpful. I was losing my mind looking at picture by picture explanations online. Another youtube video was unhelpful and then I found you. Cheers.

Holy power hour. Thanks for this clear, verbal and visual walk-through. So much more clear than the 6 videos YouTube presented to me first with blaring music and no actual instruction, precautions or anything else valuable. Definite thumbs up!

Really descriptive video thank you! Its a little difficult detaching it from the motherboard but hopefully I get around it without too much damage!!

This video helped so much. I was afraid to do this on my own, and you have given me the confidence to do it.

Being a guitarist, I loved the guitar pick used to take off the cover! Thank you for a very informative video!

[deidreegglefield]

What a terrific video- well explained and visual aids - what 'not to do' was extremely helpful. Thanks

Clear useful instructions. And he didn't go off to answer the phone in the middle of it like another one I watched.

This helps alot-. I broke my computer and need to take out the battery. I broke my computer by making a over powered mob farm in Minecraft

[mariaobrien]

Thank you! The info was exactly what I needed to change my battery.

[kellyborg]

Awesome instructions! I was able to remove battery safely!

Great video, made changing the battery in my work Lenovo simple, instead of having to submit an IT ticket that can take a few days

I think it as advisable to take a few photographs after every operation you make. Wire routes etc.

OMG Thank you!!! i know nothing about computers and mine was much different from yours but i just took the ram out “the only piece i could identify other than the big black battery” and it

[iambad]

Thank you so so much. You just saved my laptop. It had a black screen and I wanted to take out the battery and had no idea how. This video was very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you so much for saving my new laptop.
