Does it include finding battery type before your order part? Always start with that including All possible errors of all possible agents.

Really good video. I followed the steps and have successfully changed my father in law's mac battery. He's happy as uses it for work and I've learnt a new skill. One word of warning, I used an opening tool with a slight pointed end and, without knowing, cut into the battery packaging whilst trying to get the glue seal off. It smelled chemical and the battery started to heat up. Its outside now pending further investigation

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Glad it helped. You'll want to take the battery to an ewaste place. Throwing it in the trash could cause a fire. As an alternative you could smash it up until it burns up completely. Lol jk Don't do that.

FYI… that tool is a frosting spatula. With a slightly wider spatula I was able to very carefully remove the batteries without removing the trackpad. Huge time saver. Great vid!!!

I then opened the back up again disconnected and reconnected the track pad cable and it works better, but as soon as I touch the track pad with my fingers it double clicks all the time. Any suggestions?

You likely damaged the trackpad and will need to replace it. Check the cable connection to the battery first.

My advice at 05:04 is to not to begin from upper side of the middle battery cell. I would rather push the metal scrapper from right or left side of it. just below the 3 little windows' around the middle portion of trackpad where there are 2 microchips and.a flex cable are visible. there is a big risk of damaging those bits if you not carefully push the scrapper from above.

There's a reason why it says to remove the trackpad first in all caps surrounded by * in the title. A lot of people that weren't careful did that.

Get another replacement, but if you broke the plastic tab, it won't be repairable with a replacement battery.

[@syphiliticpangloss]

@@ItsBinhRepaired So in the end I managed to open it up and check all the cables. I *think* the large one (not the broken tab one) was a bit loose. Plugged that it and left the back of to test and it worked. So I would suggest to anyone doing this a) be careful with those tiny tabs. If they break you might be able to still shimmy the cable in and tape it. b) *do not put the case back on until you have tested things!* and even keep testing as you snap the case back on because things can become dislodged (unplug each time).

[@syphiliticpangloss]

I think charging should not take long ... see below where I indicate leave of the back and iterate quickly with tests. It is easy for connectors to come out when you snap on the case.

Can the MacBook Pro be used without battery connected, but just charged? I tried but I’m getting flashing folder icon upon booting

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

The question mark means the SSD doesn't have an OS or is defective or not detected.

Hey Bro can you please suggest me what should I do in this case? A few days back my MacBook pro model A1706 started to face problems like for the first time when I plugged the USB C port in, it took a few seconds to show that its charging. After a couple of days the same thing happened and it took more than 10-15 minutes. Later it took hours to show and the beep sound which signifies that it's charging. Two days earlier the battery got completely drained out and then ITS NOT CHARGING at all. This unit is fully fresh although its older. Everything was still functional except for long time use screen gets grey-ish which is pretty much common in MacBook pro I guess. Also my charger is working fine as whenever I touch the surface of the laptop I can feel a little shock sensation. And now I am so worried what should I do. I don't wanna go to the service center for some bucks. I believe the battery is okay but you know better what actually happened. So please read my comment and give a feedback. It would mean a lot to me. Also I appreciate your videos. The opening part was really cool the way you explained everything part by part was amazing. Waiting for your reply 😇

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

You get shocked? Wtf? O.o You better bring that to Apple and show them, that sounds like a lawsuit. Did you try another charger or try your charger on another MacBook? You mentioned getting a shocked sensation like that's normal. Your computer should not be electrocuting you.

[@sapnupuas3426]

@@ItsBinhRepaired I mean yeah it feels like that which is too mild. Though it was from the beginning when I connect with the charger cable. Without charging there is no such nothing. No I haven't tried that actually though I have another which is MacBook Air.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Usually if the trackpad is damaged, Apple also disables the keyboard. You likely just have to replace the trackpad if you're lucky.

​@@ItsBinhRepaired The gold lines are aligned but still no battery detection. In fact, when I plug the power cable and start the laptop, it has a battery sign on the top right corner with a cross inside of it for a hot second, then it goes away and the laptop works with only the power cable. The fan doesn't spin either. Could it be a reset of the SMC? If so, how do I do that?
