How To: Replace the battery in your MacBook Air 13" (Late 2010-2017)

[@KittyHerder]

Would it kill you to have the reassembly in the video?

[@steve5662]

Yes it would have... because more hits on another video is true life these days ;)

[@illusivefilms]

Download it then play it in reverse

[@lya6476]

[@BeeBeefy]

Its literally just in reverse.

[@shadowpawn]

@@lya6476 Legend. Thanks

[@4352sfs]

its so refreshing to see a woman on tech videos 💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@claude.muller]

Thanks for this quick tutorial. Took me 5 minutes to change and to reassemble.

[@phapnui]

I read somewhere it takes over an hour to complete. No way. Your presentation so good, I could remember what to do without comeing back here or going to your website...but I will. I am reminded of yesteryears when I took apart my VW van CV joints and I transformed it into a 2700 pound paper weight...

[@azclaimjumper]

I've subscribed & saved this video for some time in the future when I do need to replace the battery.

[@shaneybrainy13]

Wow, nice to see that its not glued in. Wish the battery in my Pro wasn't glued in, as it will inevitably need to be replaced in a few years.

[@00svn41]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@hulk01921]

Lol, now enjoy your Mac without battery! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@orangefanization]

I just replaced my 2010 MacBook Pro 15” with one of your batteries. Works better than the old one that was in there!

[@IndianaTones]

WHAT battery brand is recommended?

[@Markph7]

thanks for this! really helpful to me to assess whether to DI myself or pay Apple store.

[@AluCarDv8]

Wait. It's not glued to the chassis!!!

[@premacy2003]

Great video as always. Clear, simple and full of great information. Thank you

[@jordansullivan5764]

Just an FYI, Apple won't touch your laptop anymore after you replace the original battery with a 3rd-party battery. Learned that one the hard way.

[@phapnui]

Apple put out a defective OS. Catalina messed up my phone, music and photos. I wouldn't let Apple touch this old computer, the last Apple product I will buy.

[@yankasa98]

Really??? Omggggg are they crazy

[@FHDesert]

Wouldn't using a magnetic mat be a risky move when working with electronics, especially chips and memory components?

[@yamenhatahet6768]

I don't think that a static magnetic field has much effect on solid state electronics. Plus I think that they usually take into account these things by providing some form of shielding on delicate components.

[@whpony96]

Just don't set a mechanical HDD on it and you will be fine.

[@micahrogers7536]

Huge fan of ifixit

[@whitelion61]

I think I need to do this to my 2012 air soon...

[@MS-xk1ne]

My MacBook and it's now saying "Service Recommended" so I need to know how to do this soon lol.

[@need2c]

Gwendolyn, hi, nice video! I will be doing this upgrade soon. I also wanted to ask you what battery do you recommend to replace the original Macbook Air? I have seen a ton on KZbin and Amazon. Do you have any experience with that repair/upgrade?

[@valerianardelean9235]

I’m sorry but I can’t find any guides or videos on the MacBook Air 13 inch 2017?

[@r.mercado9737]

WOW! Great presentation, although, I would have wanted more. Oh! Before I forget, I love your smile! Semper Fi

[@davesteadman1226]

Why didn't she show us how to put the new battery back in?

[@Pigeion]

This was useful *very useful*

[@drpat22]

You didn't talk about battery calibration. What about that?

[@karynellis8404]

Hi there! Do you have a video that shows how to replace the battery in the Mac Air 11" (early 2015)?

[@rostyc]

It’s the same process

[@kellybikeco]

seriously what KittyHerder said, talk about a damn cliffhanger... now i have to search around for the install video... great video too, just complete the square.

[@jimmillington]

Play this video backwards

[@MonicaParedes1]

Idk what battery to buy that won’t end up damaging my laptop uh

[@abhignansai8313]

Are pentalobe and t1.2 screws same? Coz I just ordered one set for my MBA repair

[@pierreexantus5809]

I HAVE A EARLY 2015 WHICH BATTERY SHOULD I BUY SPECIFICALLY OR ARE THEY ALL COMPATTIBLE?

[@tytusmajewski7092]

search for the macbook air 2015 a1466 battery

[@tytusmajewski7092]

and then call the customer service if its compatible with your specific macbook

[@marcinpowichrowski4960]

You should use ESD protecion kit...

[@Nitramynot]

I thought all Apple batteries were glued to the chassis :o

[@MrDarren690]

i know this is three years old but nope, airs are quite forgiving of the bunch! even after the refresh this year, the battery is held in place with stretchy adhesive tabs.

[@markm0000]

​@@MrDarren690 I was strongly considering the new Macbook 12 inch m3 16gb. However, I profusely researched the internet and came to the conclusion--the new butterfly keyboard is disastrously bad. Like, the entire MacBook product line might not recover from this. Also, the fact that absolutely nothing can be serviced on a $1700 paperweight scares me half to death. I will be promptly ordering a 2017 mba13 i7 8gb and OWC 2TB ssd. With a clear keyboard cover, screen protector, full clear skin, and matching port caps. I am expecting a ~$100 battery replacement every 4 years. So, I should be able to run it comfortably for 8 years, and push my luck for 16 years. Just as long as internet and casual games don't get too resource intensive. It surely will last, as long as I keep the battery between 30% and 70%, and look after it. Things like dusting it out, oiling the fan, applying fresh thermal paste, looking over for blown caps, and a fresh install of the latest macOS. It's a dark age for Macintosh but I hope Apple will recover and give us serviceable products like the Unibody MacBook Pro, or the 2012 Mac Pro 12 core. Because of upgrade-ability, those models still manage to stay alive and outperform the newest Macs.

[@cmdaltctr]

@@markm0000 get the 2015 version 16gb ram, you can always change the ssd and battery.

[@djmassiveo2pl]

I need to replace keyboard and now I'm looking for glue tape, can anyone tell me what thickness of the tape should I buy ? And what screws I need to fasten keyboard after replacement. Thanks !

[@ramkumarvijayakumar106]

Madam , I have doubt can v upgrade ram and extend the internal Hard disk space

[@ricardocolon1239]

Thank you! Muchas Bendiciones 100% recomiendo. Gracias Bella.

[@rostyc]

[@Africanrealitynewscom]

[@seanm3189]

[@trojansky2348]

Where do I get a new battery that will work flawlessly?

[@ericcollignon2299]

3th time I tried to contact Ifixit.. no response whatsoever over a period of 2-3 weeks.. I ordered a Macbook pro 2015 battery, it is faulty, tried SMC reset, recalibrate etc.. Please respond!!

[@apple042283]

I just replaced mine. The laptop recognized the battery. But there is a problem, when i plug in adaptor, it turns amber coz it is charging right? But after only a few seconds it turns green. I checked, it says that my battery is 100% charged, but when I remove the adaptor, it dies. Help me please.

[@moniquecozza3888]

Wow super easy!

[@guy5140]

wtf why did you not put reassembly in this video??

[@seungjoon2037]

Hi, Macbook 13" pro 2015 is the same ?

[@shane9340]

SeungJoon Hyun i think so

[@Gameralisan]

is this the same for a1466

[@TrentG23]

Why can't the 15 inch retina be that simple?

[@billbreslin5184]

My screws seem to be glued in. Any tips on how to loosen them. I lightly tapped the top of the screwdriver but to no avail.

[@djokawari1]

This would be covered under Apple Care as it is less than 1 year old. Just kidding.

[@aaldrikpot1901]

Nice work good looking, Thanks

[@jn6711]

Why couldn't you show how to replace it with a new battery? This video is 50% incomplete!

[@banderalghamdi7414]

but thanks alot

[@ejsgarage]

If she can do it, I can do it!

[@banderalghamdi7414]

I see your face more than the MacBook

[@jlbrown16]

Come on now, Thas not earthed!

[@zamisf]

we don't need your face to fix the laptop, please show the laptop more!

[@species8472cze]

Magnetic pad? seriously? I could understand if you did complete iphone disassembly, but mag mat for TWO kind of screws? Get outta here!

[@davidtrunk5583]

1:25 - 1:50 -> the most useless 25 sec in my whole life 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@kerryobrien6110]

You look like you could be Ally McBeal's sister.

[@TobbeStorm]

Kerry O'Brien So Ally would’ve gotten the brains AND the looks? That’s unusual between two siblings

[@miamiwax5504]

Fix me next bih 😍

[@mudslinger888]

Annoying soundtrack is a HUGE detraction from what you are saying. My first of your videos, I am sensitive to extraneous noises, this is such a horrible trend needing to attach more sounds to your video. It is not entertainment, it is educational, please improve your channel by deleting all noises other than your teaching voice.

[@fabsfabsfabs]

1st

[@LCCuberTheRealOne]

First!

[@AdLiPiPiT]

Thats why i prefer men doing tutorial.. Less talking more doing

[@phapnui]

Men don't need no stinkin' tutorial or instructions...unless things get mangled.
