Hi, I just want to say how happy I am that I finally replaced my old battery which was basically dead with a new one, successfully and I feel happy for it. Right now I’m writing this on that laptop which is charging, but I’m calibrating the battery which is recommended in a manual. Anyone wondering, I ordered it from ifixit store. How is everyone doing?

    Ey nice! Well done!

    It took me a while to figure out why this was a post. My laptop is a bit older, and just has a latch that pops the battery out when pulled. Then I realised laptops are being pushed the way of smartphones…

      Yeah, it was actually my first time ever repairing a laptop so I was proud of myself. Also this laptop was kinda easy just unscrew few screws remove back cover unscrew old battery and disconnect it from motherboard and put new battery (do everything but backwards) straightforward compared to some others.

        That sounds like a good laptop for a beginner. I had the same luck with my phone. Glad to see you developing your skills!
