If you're looking to replace or reseat the battery, you should be able to take a glance here: http://www.insidemylaptop.com/take-apart-dell-inspiron-1720-1721-dell-vostro-1700-laptop/ and see it from the RAM slot in the bottom of the laptop. I imagine you should first try to reseat it and if needed then look for a replacement.
