X200s broken battery latch replacement
Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2013 8:54 am
Hi everybody,
I recently purchased an x200s on ebay. However I've just seen that the latch that maintains the battery from its left side is broken:
According to this topic the broken part belongs to 44C9556 and I'll have to remove the motherboard in order to replace it. So my questions are:
- How hard and risky is this operation? Pictures showing it actually done would really help.
- What is a cheapest/fastest way to get the 44C9556 kit in France?
- Is there a reliable alternative way to maintain the battery without replacing the damaged part?
