The battery replacement went off without a hitch, I’ll be honest, at step 50 I started to look at things with a real tech eye. I stopped disconnecting and removing components and took my hairdryer to the back, the battery came up quite easily so I stopped, popped in the new battery right then. After reconnecting everything, using iso to clean the lcd and inside glass, I “dry fit” everything back together, powered it up… nice. Completed new adhesive install and all is good.

Great tutorial, but if you have a good tech background, you can knock off an hour and do it in just over an hour. PS - Hair dryer is a must - take your time on this, once you get past the initial opening of the left side, the rest is a breeze.
