Step 2

Identify the two (2) sliding lock mechanisms on either side of the battery and slide them towards the center.
The sliders are located at the back of the device on the side where the display hinges are.
The slider closest to the optical drive (CD reader) clicks open but the opposite slider has a spring.

Step 3

Pull the battery slightly up and out to remove.
If the battery doesn't pop out, the sliders weren't pushed in far enough. Push the sliders towards the center until the battery pops out.
