Thanks a lot! I bought a used MacBook Pro 15" from 2017. It was hot, so I opened it to clean the fans. Had a battery service notification, and it was't difficult to figure out why.. Battery had swollen. Bought a new one and followed your guide, worked like a charm. Punched the old battery a few times, smelly! One big scary moment, however after re-assembly.. the Mac wouldn't turn on (not with, and not without charger).. Turned out I hadn't screwed the pancake screw fully in.. After, worked! Did a PRAM reset and now, a healthy (and safe) battery. So thanks again.
Glad it helped. Careful with the fumes, they're toxic. Glad you were able to figure out why it wasn't turning on. If you haven't already don't forget to like and subscribe so others can find my videos. Thanks!
Finally, I replaced the battery in my 2017 MBP, this time successfully. I got a screw extractor to remove the stripped screw and, of course, tiny screw to replace it. This time I could remove the stripped screw and done that the rest went easy. The old battery was not punctured. I don't know why I thought it was. Anyway. sliding the trackpad back to its place was not easy, but I managed. This is the second battery I replaced. Last year I did to a 2013 MBP without any problem at all.(I followed your video, of course). I have to say, your tutorials are excellent. I owe you really. I don't use paypal, but I'll mail you money order or something. Thanks a lot.
Awesome, glad the videos have been able to help you multiple times. Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Mail all work :) I appreciate it. Thanks! Hope my videos continue to help you going forward.
Why oh why did Apple put the battery cables UNDER the motherboard? Easy repair made difficult for no reason. Appreciate your videos. Always well explained and accurate.
Excellent video, thank you. I have replaced the battery but now my new battery is at 1% and won't charge. Is there anything I can check before ordering another battery?
I think I ended up reaching out to you by phone. Thanks for the support/contribution! Make sure to check the ribbon cable and metal tab are connected properly.
It’s been fun working alongside you for an hour ☺️ Very helpful video, especially because you keep talking us through it. Knowing not to bend certain crucial lids too far is essential, and I really appreciate all the little tips along the way. Not breathing in those sweet sweet battery fumes for instance 😏 Now what to do with the battery…
Glad it helped. You can look for a local ewaste place that accepts lithium polymer batteries. It's probably not good for the environment, but I'm sure some people just toss them in the trash. I'm pretty sure they have stuff printed on it saying not to. XD Could possibly cause a dump truck to go up in flames, so best not to go that route. Lol
Changing the battery in these models is scary and difficult - but possible if you follow this video carefully. Running the battery down before you start will reduce the chance of it getting hot if it gets damaged. A small spatula is the way to go and do it slowly. First time I punctured a cell which got hot and there was some leakage of fumes so I finished removing the battery outside.
My question is regarding the battery cable and pancake screw. All videos and guides have you removing the battery data cable before the screw. I was wondering if this is the correct order. I was thinking its better to remove the power before disconnecting any cables. I'm not sure but I assumed the cable is for battery data with the pancake connector for power. Something went wrong on a repair I did and I cant figure it out. I replaced a trackpad and on reassembly I first screwed down the battery pancake screw and then connected the cable. Immediately upon connecting the cable I had a circuit burn on a different part of the board and now the board is dead. The battery cable was not damaged when I inserted it. I did use electrical tape that was placed in between the positive and negative contacts to prevent accidental touching. Maybe there was glue residue on the contact? Any ideas what went wrong? When reassembling do you first put the connector and screw down and then the cable or should you connect power last? Any more information on the relationship between the cable and +/- connector would be appreciated.
Awesome video! Thank you so much. I've had the same problem with holding washers in place in camera repair. A very tiny dab of Loctite or nail polish applied with a toothpick helps keep them in place and not so strong you can't undo.
Thanks just followed your guide best way to remove battery without any damage it is to use fishing line good old 25 lb test. easy works flawless wear gloves wont so it wont cut you simple fast!!! Thanks for detailed video!
@@ItsBinhRepaired Fishing line way better and faster no damage you wear gloves its much safer and wont cut you I used saftey gloves thin clothed gloves took me 8 min to remove battery
Thank you, i was able to replace my battery but on the process it seeems like i broke the right speaker haha ... idk how I managed to do that as the wire loooks fine idk .. anwyayys thanks
I damaged the battery connector to mother board while trying to detach the cable. It snapped right off of the mother board 😕 I assume it cannot be reattached. Can I run the MacBook without a battery on the external power?
Hai, i want to ask about. My MacBook pro 15 suddenly can not be charge and the sound of being charged also not play and also the MacBook can not turn on. Have you found this kini of problem before?
Hello, Great video. Appreciate it!! But, I’ve faced an issue. The green Caps lock light came on after I connected the new battery and then I also noticed that I forgot to connect the trackpad cable. Then the screw kept popping all over the board while the battery was connected with the board. After I fixed it, the laptop is not powering on now. It’s completely like no power like dead. Any idea of the screw popping on the board has shorted the motherboard or what can be the issue here?
@@ItsBinhRepaired alright, how do I check on it? Any equipment and procedures to do the checks? Is it also absolutely necessary to only connect the battery cable & circular connector right at the end to avoid shorting chances?
@@ItsBinhRepaired thank you for your suggestions! I’ve got a specialist in my city who I’ll visit on Monday to check what’s up. But, again, I learned a lot from your video and doing that full exercise. Thank you for your detailed video and your quick responses! 👌🏻
I just tried to replace the battery in 2017, that it was saying needed service. It wasn't easy to open but I did. I got to disconnect the tract pad and one of the screw was impossible to do it. It broke o something so I decided to close the computer instead. At that moment I realized I felt a sweet smell I thought there were battery fumes, and I saw one of the cell kind of folded, and I closed the computer. Then the computer didn't start. Before I disabled the AutoBoot. So, hopefully it does not start for that. Otherwise something serious happens. The next step is taking it to you. I don't know what should I do now there is not a power button in this models.
@@ItsBinhRepaired No I didn't. One of the cells was sort of folded on one corner. It seemed an old and strange injury. It is not punctured. I felt the smell when I opened the computer.
I installed everything delicately with no problem, however when I went to power on, double-tapping the track pad, the computer never powered up. The trackpad works when the power cord is plugged in, and the fans run, however the screen is still black (can’t get anything to display).
So, no solvents involved except the 91% iso alcohol, unlike iFixit’s kit? Great. Where did you get the plastic scraper? Never seen that. Oh, and where to get that battery?
Unfortunately the top chassis with keyboard (IT) and battery comes at like 180€ when Apple Store would do it guaranteed for 209€... I was hoping to save some money being a 6 years old computer, but it looks like I'll have to spend it. Great explanation anyway.
I followed everything. But now I have an X on battery icon 🔋 also battery not showing up and MacBook Pro won't stay on unless power cord is plugged in. Please help!
@@ItsBinhRepaired I was able to no problems at all, replaced the battery (which was ballooning so I was doing this outdoors as well), trackpad and trackpad cable. It has been some years I had cracked a laptop case, much less Apple, so the level of detail you provided, along with showing the missteps that can occur were super helpful. No issues at all, and my wife even had the same spatula for adhesive removal, although I don't see her using it on cakes anymore :)
@@FunkDialout LOL glad it worked out. Make sure to clean it with rubbing alcohol to get the adhesive residue off it, then use soap as usual. It's still safe for food. Haha
@@ItsBinhRepaired I was really careful and didn't damage the Trackpad but not the system doesn't turn on?? I think I got a defective battery, such a waste of time. Do you know where to buy a battery from a trusted seller?
