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?
Congrats :)
A few years ago, that was the first step that led me to stop using Apple computers and slowly switch to Linux and easy to fix PCs. Something that, back then, 50 years old me would never have imagined doing: I had been an Apple user since the early 80s and never imagined not being one.
Thanks, idk never used any apple device but I heard they are not really repairable. Luckily my lenovo laptop is so straightforward with repairing, just removing screws and back cover, remove battery replace battery screw back cover.
Sometimes it really is this easy, still an accomplishment. I’m typing this using a Mac Mini which I purchased with minimal RAM, and then maxed out the RAM (64GB) as it was much cheaper that way. With this model (2018) it was necessary to remove nearly everything from the case to access the RAM. I watched the video, made notes, carefully laid out the parts as I disassembled the unit, pulled the old RAM, put in the new, and reversed the ‘disassembly’. Then because I needed to do this on a second one, did the same thing again. All of this was so the home and office computers would be the same. Right to repair, like all rights, needs to be exercised.
