    Great video! Saved me a bundle. I like the idea of aluminum foil if you are going to use acetone to protect the screen. I also used paper towels between the foil and case to absorb any acetone if it did leak. Also I used a glass eye dropper instead of a syringe so make sure not to puncture to old battery. I also slightly elevated each side of the case so the acetone would flow towards the adhesive. Use the acetone sparingly and work the batteries free with a old thin credit card. Remember, safety first.

I thought I had damaged the cable but voila when I pressed the clip down it worked.

    This was so helpful, thanks! I decided to use GOO GONE instead of acetone. I figured it was less hazardous and worked very well. I just sprayed it on the edge of an old store loyalty card (don't need them since I just punch in phone number at store.) I learned from two of my mistakes: forgot to push down on the little black lock lever when plugging the trackpad cable in. I assume that's why the trackpad and keyboard didn't work when I fired it back up! Fixed it. Also, I mixed up the case screws and realized some are shorter for the back edge (One wasn't going in far enough bc it was a longer one.) Finally, the battery calibration tips saved me one more internet search.

The case screws are torx T4 and the screws internally are all torx T5. But that's just being ridiculously picky. Great video!

Lasted until recently when my laptop battery expanded and burst into smoke at my workplace. The $199 is the difference between what it would have costed me to service it with apple at the time. Luckily, my stuff is backed up.

I'm just wondering because the cheapest I can go for the battery and the tools would be around 100 dollars. Apple replaces it for 200 dollars so I would only be saving 100 dollars. Do you know what I mean? I'm thinking if the 100 dollars is worth it.

    Thanks for this. I used a small flat head screwdriver to gently "encourage" the battery to release from its moorings. I was clean out of acetone anyway. :) But as expected, this battery was old enough that the glue was not nearly as sticky and it came out cleanly for me. Now, I can close the lid. Good stuff.

    Great video - saved me €150. I found it helpful to not plug the speakers out, just remove the screws, take them out of the frame, but leave them plugged in (04:48 & 06:02), the plugs seem very delicate and I saw from other comments and videos people ended up breaking them. For the touchpad (at 06:40), I also left the bottom part plugged in. Just be careful when working around them.

    Great video BUT ... DO NOT REMOVE UPPER SPEAKER CONNECTIONS with spludger tool. Connector can be ripped off the board. The pins can be held more tightly than the flimsy surface solder connections. I had to solder the connectors back to the board - not easy. There is no reason to remove those connectors - just detach speakers and gently move them out of the way. There is also no real reason to remove the lower zero insertion track pad connector. Again, just the upper connector and gently move the ribbon out of the way. Do the minimum!

    May I ask you a question Rick. Seeing it is so difficult to remove these batteries do you think one can get by installing a new one without the adhesive label taken off to make it easy to replace next time. I need to swap a battery shortly and given the full backing adhesive of the new batteries I was thinking not to stick it down which if tight enough might just do? What do you think. Many thanks for your videos which are very informative and helpful.
