Minho's guide is flawless. I would just say to get yourself prepared by ordering a new battery now, only because they are affordable and any battery order may take a week to arrive at your door.

Plugging in a charged battery first is NOT a good idea. However once you begin the troubleshooting process it will eventually be helpful to have a charged high quality battery on hand. I consider ifixit's batteries to be high quality. They may even be better stock than what the local repair shop has on hand :)

What you find on eBay/Amazon can vary widely, but much of what's out there is unreliable. I consider ifixit's batteries to be high quality.
