Thank you for the guide! This was not too tough a repair and now my laptop is as good as new!

Took me about ten minutes to do this on my spouse’s laptop. The parts that took the most time were unplugging the battery and peeling the speaker wire tape. I suspect someone that’s never opened a consumer electronic before could get this fix done in 10 - 40 minutes.

I had some problems with the M2x2 screw on the lower left corner of the battery, which almost got stripped using the Phillips #0 from the iFixit kit. I had to remove the other screws first and then rotate the battery around the remaining one to loosen it a bit, then managed to unscrew it with the Phillips #1.

So impressed with the quality of the website, the clarity if the guide, the quality of the toolkit, all the packaging, and not least, the whole attitude and ethos of the company about avoiding waste and empowering self-help. A+, 5☆ rating all around.

Great. My battery had already been replaced by a Dell repair technician, so I found I had to temporarily displace a taped pair of wires, otherwise no pitfalls.Other than the case is razor-sharp - beware running the spudger along the edge that you don’t cut your fingers!
