There is a #00 Phillips under the XPS cover on the bottom. Also one of the #0 screws holding the battery down is #00. It is not necessary to remove the speakers but the wires are taped to the battery so pick and remove the tape.
Took me about 45 minutes.
Couple of complexities:
1. The speaker removal, it’s easier just to unscrew and pull out that way. Moreover, it’s easier the same way to replace, the problem is if you push in the speakers can remain wobbly unless you properly attach to the flexible plastic things.
2. When replacing the screws on the battery, do the little screw first. It shows it on the images, but doesn’t mention it, it’s a different sized screw (step 3).
3. Removing the screws on the back of the laptop is tough unless you have a good screw driver. In the end, I bought one from China from Aliexpress that was bang on what I needed.
Does anyone have a source for a replacement battery? I checked Amazon but reviews were sketchy at best.
I was concerned about the Amazon reviews as well. I ordered my battery directly from Dell for $85.
Great guide! Came in real handy when I needed to replace a swollen battery.
Although the speaker removal part can be skipped completely.
Just remove the 4 Philip battery screws and peel off the black tapes securing the red/white speaker wires would be sufficient to allow the battery to slide right off.
