I would never have tried without your videos. Thanks man it really helped!

Sucks that it didn’t work out for you but you helped me replace my battery to fix mine. Thanks!

This is great step-by-step video!! A lot of important details. I was able to replace the battery by following it. Thank you!!!

Great step by step tutorial, thank you so much! Bought a new battery for my daughter's MacBook thinking it would be as easy as my old one (2009 model), then realized I was in way over my head. Your video bailed me out, looks like a successful install

Great video. My MacBook Pro battery replacement was much more difficult than my previous MacBook Air. My trackpad cable was brittle and it broke. You may want to buy one of those with your replacement battery. I also stripped screws when removing the trackpad. I had to use a dremel and small cutting pad to put a slit in the screwhead and back it out. The screws are somewhat reusable but I found new screws.

Hi, I'm here to say if you're not a technician and planned to replace your A1989 battery by yourself all I want to say as a reminder is be very careful when taking off the ribbon battery cable/that connector cable to connect the battery into the logic board like how it shown in this video at 3:20, if that connector pin dirty it's not gonna work, if that connector bent it's not gonna work, I tried it myself and it happening the battery cannot be detected, I tried to fix it by cleaning the pin on the connector, plug it in again and then it's work. Also, good video, for real this video saved me lots of bucks, thank you

thanks your detailed explanation!! this video is the most useful video that i was saw ever~!!

Thanks this was very useful, much more so than the manual which came with the replacement battery.

This video was amazing! Helped me replace my own battery at home and i did it successfully! Thank you!

Thanks for the detailed and straightforward tutorial. If I'd followed the poorly-translated instructions that came with my battery, I'd've broken broken the backplate and both gates for the ribbon wire

You are rad man! I hope your clavicle is better

Very good video~ change battery successfully

Thank you so much for the video, it really helped

Thought to replace by myself, but this battery adhesive is tricky one. Experience with Dell etc but not with Apple. Adhesive is only tricky part, but still seems convenient to ask a person who has done it many times before. Proper tools are important here. Well depends on final price for battery replacement. If i decide to go for new M3 then it’s maybe wiser to skip replacement and do the device repurchase (Trade In) and invest it into new one. Great video and overview about the steps and what to keep in mind! Be careful with cables

0:40 6 screws in order 1:10 lift cover up 2:10 slide cover down and open 3:05 plastic cover 3:20 undo the latch and remove the cable 4:20 remove screws holding the contacts of the battery and disconnect batery 4:55 drain power from board 5:20 disconnect the trackpad 6:10 remove adhesive trackpad strip 6:40 remove 10 trackpad screws 8:03 remove the trackpad 9:00 scraping the battery 14:10 remove the battery and now some steps worth mentioning during the new battery installing: 15:40 removing plastic helper

Massive help! Thank you!!!!!

I follow and workable .thanks bud

Hello mate, I have been following your video, really impressive. Do you have any video to replace system/logic board for MacBook Pro 2018 A1989? thanks in advance. By the way, I successfully replace the LCD screen for a macbook following your step by step instruction, really helped a lot.

Excellent ... well done ...

Thanks!

can you send a link where you got the battery from? I need to replace my 13 inch retina touch bar a1989. thnks!

Very good tutorial Thanks where did u source new battery from ?

Great how to!

Hi, after I change my battery macbook says “battery is not charging” when plugged in. What can be the problem do you have any idea 🙏🏻

Please don't take this as a negative comment. It is not. This is a remarkable video, and the steps are clearly shown. What is also clear is that I now have the knowledge to replace my MacBook battery, but I lack a) Proper tools b) Proper skill c) Patience This video is so well done, it convinced me to not try this myself. I need to decide whether to pay to have it serviced, or continue to keep it attached to a power cable as a backup to my iPad Air.

I have a few questions. My same MacBook will say x battery and my battery data cable scuffed but no major tears. I don’t know how far to push it but it can be pulled out of the socket even when latched. Do you know if this is a data cable problem? It originally started up but wouldn’t fully load past the login screen and would die when unplugged. And now it bootloops. I did a lot of solutions that didn’t work. However now my Mac bootloops on a screen without an Apple logo just blank screen but backlight is on and turns off for like 5-10 seconds then turns on for like 2-5 seconds and repeats. Occasionally I get an infinite Apple logo just infinitely boots

I broke the little tiny latch that connects to the cable. Is that going to present a problem and if so, any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks

Great video, thanks. Around 4:07 you mention the battery cable and the latch on the left hand side. I broke the latch. I think I will need the whole thing that contains the receptacle and the latch. What is that part called on which the latch is installed ?

Did you use a third party battery? Will using other company battery harm the computer?

did u manage to get the battery charging what was the cause of this problem ? and what was the fix ?????

Changing my keyboard an top case today, battery is the only thing I’m worried about

I want to buy something that looks like a knife that I use to take out the battery. Where can I buy it?

Hey I’m having problems. Seems I didn’t connect mine right and my Mac only turns on when Its charging. I’m guessing it’s the battery connection but it’s reading the battery well

Is there a particular brand for the battery that you recommend?

Have you try resetting smc? I have same problem, battery not detected after replacement and it resolved by resetting smc, but before it let it fully charged

Try SMC Reset and NVRAM Reset

Can we run the macbook-pro without battery

My Macbook Pro detects my battery, but it won't charge or use battery power as a power source. When I unplug my MacBook, it completely goes dead... I just ordered the flex cable for the battery, so hopefully, it fixes the problem. Anyone has any information that could be useful, please reply.

What is the tool he is using to free the battery it look A cake frosting spatula

Well best not to use a metal tool to pry up the batteries ... I punctured one of the batteries and it went up in smoke and red hot flames !!! best to use a plastic tool. Fortunately the Macbook survived.

Why don/t Apple just design the batteries that you can just screw on...?

Frustrating isnt it? I was a tech for 30 years and everything gets smaller and more fiddly whilst my eyes got too.blurty and my hands got shaky to do it anymore. But the worse is when you spend hours changing something only for it still not to work afterwards .

make sure you have the right tools because my macbook actually lit on fire 🙃

Thank you for your excellent and detailled explanation!

I think I speak for everyone when I say fuck those T3 screws. I cannot get them out with stripping them. No matter how I do it…

The type of technicians you should avoid when you wanna safe some bucks in repair 😄

Apple needs to stay out of laptop business
