Why is the battery glued to the case making impossible to swap or dissable the unit to repair it?

The battery should not be glued to the case normally. There are two latch releases that hold the battery on. My experience with ours is that those latches are delicate. One broke, and we had to tape the battery on. If there is glue involved, it could be that someone (previous owner?) had a similar problem.

I think someone must have played some cruel trick on you. My Lenovo ideapad swaps out with a click release of the two latches on the bottom. If yours are glued, you need to take it to a repair shop. That is NOT a part of the original design.

The OEM of the netbook is the battery is NOT glued in any way. There are two latches which hold the battery in place. One latch you move over, the other latch you must hold over because it automatically latches back. While holding that latch you can remove the battery. If someone glued the battery to hold it in its place for whatever reason, its more than do-able to remove the glue.

The laptop has an internal battery, you cannot remove it without opening the casing. I guess it is still possible, but not as easy as in most laptops.

There is a small Slot at the top of the casing that is easy to open with a small blade or screw driver or in fact, I can open it with my finger nail. Once opened you simply take out the small button battery and replace it, then simply snap the top of the casing shut. There is also a little diagram in the instructions explaining how to change the battery.

If you want to get into taking the unit apart (disassemble it), then yes you can replace.. there is no 'open door' to change the batteries.. you need to solder-desolder the old (and new)-replace-- reassemble.. otherwise you can't..

No, the battery doesnt fix. It will come lose and fall off when moving laptop.

you'd have to take it or send it to a certified repair shop to swap batteries, or possibly Samsung for a fee if they do that (don't see why they wouldn't).

The package states "self recharging battery", but nothing in the package insert indicates it is replaceable. There also does not appear to be an easy way to open the unit. Try to contact the manufacturer and let me know what you find out.

No, on this model the battery is non removable in the usual sense, at least not in the usual way of having a battery that pops out with a release mechanism as are found on older laptops. I suppose it's possible to unscrew and open up the case to change the battery, but that would likely void the manufacturer's warranty.

Hi na,the battery is built into the device therefore I do not believe removing and replacing it is an option. The charge does last a very long while however.

We are having the same issue. Been using almost every day for over a year, and even after changing the battery there are issues. The battery case actually is corroding inside! Want to contact company to see suggested lifespan. Otherwise, we've loved it so far!!!

There is a small piece of plastic across the power input terminals under the battery. This must be removed for operation.

Because as great as the battery is, the case is flawed. It's literally too tight, especially around the buttons. Take the black part off and just have the blue piece on. I'll bet it does not do it then. What I did was on the other side, I clipped the black part of the case around the power button so that it is no longer surrounded by the black part on the volume button. Notice it will make the case much easier to go on, but still grips the phone very nicely. At the power button where you are having the problem, take a dremel or a small file and enlarge that hole a little bit. That should help also. I did both and now have no complaints whatsoever.

The battery is not easily removable. The TV is held together by nine screws, and has the usual caution about how it should only be opened by service personnel.

There are some guides online to tell you how to replace the battery. It involved de-soldering and soldering, so really only do-able for advanced DIYers. I tried and failed (but learned a lot about soldering on the way, so the $15 I invested was not completely wasted). Of course doing so will also void any warranty, so it's really only something that you will want to attempt if you have nothing to lose.

Here's a tip from a user that successfully replaced the battery for this unit.MediaBaron says:I had one of the older non-replaceable battery models. I was able to carefully tap a razor blade around the seam to separate the top and bottom half, replaced the batteries and put it back together using a hot glue gun so it could be easily be taken apart again. This far from an approved process but if you're going to throw it away anyway give it a shot. I gave it away to someone who's wife was going through chemo and bought the model with the replaceable battery before they were discontinued. It wasn't pretty after the hot glue but it worked.
