Woo hoo! Just finished. I don’t know who could do this battery repair on the quicker side of that range—mine took over 5 hours. Granted, I also redid the thermal paste on my CPU and my GPU. In addition, the old battery was really stuck in there, so that took extra time. Nonetheless, now I have more experience and, no need to buy a new computer ! Thanks, iFixIt !

Thank you for this! I broke my speaker when following a different iFixIt guide, but your instructions saved the day. $49 is even for the replacement speaker from iFixIt is even cheaper than the deductible on my insurance plan through GetAkko, so this one was a no-brainer. Thank you, internet stranger!

I ran out of the acetone liquid--why not include a full bottle of the stuff, guys?
