Followed the directions step-by-step and it worked perfectly. Lots of pausing and rewinding and playing and pausing though :)
We're glad to hear that you're very pleased with the installation video and it helped very well for you.
Worked like a charm. Haptic feedback didn't work a first few times after battery replacement so I had to remove touchpad assembly and re-assemble it do resolve bad connection issue. Got it working again. Would also advise against connecting battery (12:35) so early in the process. Do it just before attaching the bottom cover. Just to ensure you don't accidentally short the board when reassembling the computer.
Thank you for clear instructions. i replaced the battery, now everything works fine. Thank you soo much,,,,,,,,,
thanks guys!! nice video.
Thank you! Replaced it, old battery completely didn’t charge and Mac worked only while charging like a normal PC without battery.
Woohoo!!!!!! Always glad to hear when a Mac is back up and running again. :) Thanks for sharing.
Perfect tutorial. It works. thx
🤩 We're glad to hear that your very pleased with our tutorial video and it was able to help you.
Thank you
Thnx, it worked better than the paper tutorial I got with my new battery.
One note on part 4 in the video; the energy saver options have disappeared in macOS Ventura.
We're pleased to hear that the video proved more helpful during the installation process. Your feedback is valued, and we will certainly pass it along to the appropriate department. Thank you. 💙
I would advise against re-connecting the metal tab (12:35) until everything else is reconnected, as there is a possibility that you'll drop a screw on the Logic Board and it bridges a connection between two different components on the board. If there is power from the battery flowing through the system, this can cause a short and damage the components badly, possibly ruining the board completely.
Hi DWN9! That's an interesting point. I'd be worried that leaving the power connection screw till 14:23 when the other screws are inserted could result in the power connection screw being forgotten.
@@poweredbyowc That's true, but it's easy to open the back cover and re-install the screw later. Replacing the Logic Board would be more costly both time and money-wise.
You have great points there DWN9. 🤔 We love getting inputs/suggestions from our customer and we will for sure forward your feedback to our development team.😊
I did it completely, and first time I opened my macbook. Thanks for the step by step instructions.
You are welcome Nicolas, we are glad to be of service! If you ever have any questions or concerns please let us know at support@owc.com!
Hello. What if my laptop is dead and won’t power on at all. Is it safe to still change the battery?
There could be a few reasons why your computer isn't powering, while it should still be safe to charge a battery inside it, it might be important to figure out what is specifically wrong before replacing the battery.
@@poweredbyowc you were deff right! Wasn’t the battery. I replaced it with your kit and instructions and still no power. I sent it out to fix might be the board. Thanks for your help
Thank you for your comment! You're very welcome! Happy to help :)
Be very careful prying the battery out. It can explode and cause a fire.
Better option: Throw that garbage in the trash and build a good PC desktop
