Computer battery changing

[Yorkie]

There's an excellent video on Computeractive's website which shows how to do it step by step.

You'll see that it recommends disconnecting the power from the motherboard not just by switching the computer off, but by disconnecting the power lead to the mother board and discharging the charge that will be held on the board. I've never done that on the few occasions that I've changed a battery, but they know more about it than me, and from what the guy says, it's a wise precaution.:

Hope that helps.
