Introduction

If your Dell Latitude 3189 will not hold a charge anymore, you most likely have a dead battery, which requires replacement.

A battery provides power to your laptop. After a number of repeated charge cycles, batteries will slowly degrade. If you notice that your charged battery is draining faster than usual, you should replace your battery.

A charged battery when punctured can be a fire hazard, so before replacing a battery, deplete its charge. If your battery is bulging, proceed with caution.

Make sure to power down your device before you begin.

    • Insert a nylon spudger between the lower case and chassis at the two hinge spaces on the back side of the laptop and pry up the lower case.

    • Do not use metal items to pry the base cover off, like a screwdriver, as it could slip and damage internal components.

    • Avoid prying at the ports which could damage the ports.
