Battery Replacement

[MG2023]

Hello,

I started my laptop up today and a screen popped up telling me that my battery had reached max charge levels that were so low that the battery is essentially useless. My warranty has also expired, so I can't just send it in for a repair. How do I replace my battery and where would I get the part? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

"Fat" Battery / Bloated Battery / Swollen Battery – Sealed / Internal Battery

• Swollen battery might be hiding OR there might be evidence that the battery has inflated.  For example, notebook case is warped, touchpad stops working, “odd” bulging near the keyboard.

• If the battery is in a swollen or bloated condition, the battery must be removed from the computer and replaced.  There are no other remedies, tests, or useful options.
