Introduction
Use this guide to replace or remove the battery in your Lenovo Yoga 710. Battery removal is also essential prior to removal of any connected hardware. Removing the battery can help protect the person and computer from electrical harm during the replacement of other hardware.
What you need
-
-
Slide an opening tool between the base and back cover and work your way around the entire device to release the back cover.

-
Remove the four 3.5 mm screws around the battery using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
The screws securing my battery were also PH1. Be careful as it would be extremely easy to strip the heads on these screws using the incorrect size.
Thanks! I’ll update the step to reflect this.

Disconnect the battery by pulling its cable away from the hinge with a pair of tweezers or your fingers.
There is no latch or anything. Just pull it out gently towards the battery.
This step made me nervous! I wasn't sure how much elbow grease to use. It took a good firm horizontal yank, holding the cord near the plug. It's probably not a good idea to yank it by grasping the battery.

I had to use a PH000 screwdriver and was only able to remove 1 of the battery screws from the original Lenovo battery. Any suggestions on how to remove the others? Where can I get replacement screws?
¿Son Vdes. conscientes de que están haciendo una mala traducción del inglés? Están traduciendo “remove”, que en castellano se traduce por retirar, como remover, que en inglés se traduce por “stir”. No aconsejo remover los tornillos ni las baterías.

Be cognizant of which screws come from which locations. I did not notice that three of the screws were longer than the others. I ended up reinstalling mine along the hinge side of the back cover.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll add that into the guide.
