This model is one of those laptops that allow for <\/span><b>easy battery replacement by the end user<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You can carry out this repair yourself, with no technical expertise, ensuring <\/span><b>your device lasts longer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and saving a substantial amount of money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the right preparation, this job is quick and low-risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The repair kit you\u2019ll need<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gather the following tools and parts before you start:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The replacement battery:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It must match your laptop\u2019s specific part reference.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A screwdriver:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You\u2019ll need a small cross-head (Phillips) screwdriver.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>A plastic opening tool:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A guitar pick, a rigid card or a nylon spudger is ideal to <\/span><b>protect the chassis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from scratches while opening.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The critical step: making sure you have the right part<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you even touch the chassis, the first step is to confirm that your new battery is compatible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two options for the E5470 series<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two spare-part numbers match this model: <\/span><b>6MT4T<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>NGGX5<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of these batteries is shorter to leave room for an optional hard drive.

Safety first<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unplug:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The laptop must be <\/span><b>completely disconnected from the mains<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and from all peripherals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Shut down:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Make sure it is fully switched off (not in sleep mode).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>2. Loosening the cover screws<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn your Dell Latitude E5470 upside down. The bottom panel is held in place with several screws.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unscrewing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Use your screwdriver to loosen all the screws.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reassembly tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You can simply <\/span><b>loosen the screws without removing them<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from the panel. They will stay captive, which makes reassembly much easier.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Releasing the panel<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove the panel gently so you don\u2019t snap the clips.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Using the plastic tool:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Insert the non-metallic tool into a seam and slide it carefully around to separate the panel from the main body. It\u2019s best to start from a less exposed edge, such as the top side.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Caution:<\/b> <b>Never use a sharp or metal object<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to avoid deforming the chassis or damaging internal components.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Removing the battery pack<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the inside is exposed, the battery is easy to access.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Removing the fixings:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Unscrew all the screws holding the battery pack in place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lifting out:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Gently lift the pack from its top edge to free it from the chassis.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. The delicate disconnection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The connector is often tucked under the battery and requires a bit of care.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Accessing the cable:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Once the pack is lifted, tilt it slightly to see the cable linking it to the motherboard.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Disconnecting:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Gently pull on the <\/span><b>connector head<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (the plastic part) to unplug it from the socket.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Fitting and connecting the new battery pack<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Connection:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Plug the cable into the new battery pack.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Positioning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Put the new battery in place.

Screwing back and checks<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Test:<\/b> <b>Do a quick test before closing up<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: plug the laptop into the mains to make sure the new battery pack is working and that the charging light comes on.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Securing:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the test is successful, re-fit the screws that hold the battery pack to the chassis.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Finishing and reassembly<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Refitting the cover:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Replace the bottom panel, clipping the edges back in and making sure it sits flush all round.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Final tightening:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tighten all the screws you loosened earlier.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion: freedom restored<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well done!
