Have you noticed the keyboard bulging on your Darter Pro? It's likely your battery needs to be replaced, and right away! In this guide I'll show you how to do it.
Warning: A swelling battery can explode if mishandled. Wear eye protection and proceed with caution. Always dispose of old lithium batteries at an electronics recycling facility, never in the trash.

First, you need to remove the back cover. Flip over the laptop and remove all the screws. Keep each size screw separate. There are 10 short M2 perimeter screws, 2 large M2 keyboard screws, 2 large M2 screws near the hinges, and 1 large M2 center screw.
-
Once the screws are removed, you can open up the cover. Using a flat spudger, begin to pry open the cover near one of the hinges. Work your way around with the spudger and your fingers, loosening the cover until it comes free.

Using the flat end of a plastic spudger (never metal), gently disconnect the white battery connector from the logic board.

There are no screws holding in the battery, only double-sided sticky tape. It's extremely strong and can take some time to remove. The best way is to slide a credit card or thin plastic object between the battery and the tape, slowly loosening it until it comes up.
-
I do not recommended using heat to loosen the tape! Heat can potentially increase the battery swelling and be dangerous.
-
There are only three sticky areas under the battery; one strip on each side and one in the middle. It's helpful if you have extra cards to insert between the battery and the tape once you pry it up — otherwise you'll have to pry each section up again after loosening.
