I stumbled across a website with informations on resetting BIOS in laptops and this picture was on there, with the mention of special "wrapping" of the batteries that Sony does.

Or is it just random?

I just did a complete hard drive, RAM, new keyboard and external surround with touchpad and mouse change on my Dell laptop in less than 20 minutes with one screwdriver and no hassle. Getting to those batteries sure does not appear to be easy...

eeh,remove/lift keyboard pull cable , detach batteries

Since we are on page 599, I thought this would be fitting.

Sorry, not on this laptop. Wish it was that easy.

If they are not a "wear item" whatever that is, then why do they now use easily replaceable batteries instead of the old style batteries that were soldered onto the motherboard like in the old days? Sometimes the batteries outlast the computer but sometimes not.
