My Problem
I had an ongoing problem with my 2009 MacBook Pro's battery. I kept getting the "Service Battery" warning on an intermittent basis over a few months.
My Fix
The repair was extremely easy! I'm not a home handyman type, but this was very simple and the guides provided by iFixit were excellent!
My Advice
Don't be afraid to give this a try. iFixit was a real help and the parts were reasonable considering the alternative to getting this fixed by Apple (and by being without a computer for a week or more)!
