Slow loading and operation

Slow loading and operation after battery replacement

Update (10/23/23)

I don’t think it is the drive. It happened after I replaced the battery with one I ordered from Amazon. I may have damaged the trackpad to board cable in the process of prying the glued battery because that flat cable runs under the battery. It is super slow to start up and lagging badly on every click to select something

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

@walter82849 - I would see if the onboard diagnostics offers any clues. Restart your system and press the D key to enter. Let us know what it tells you.

Mac startup key combinations

If your trackpad or keyboard is having issues and indeed the cables could have gotten damaged. Post a few pics where you think the damage is maybe we can guide you on how to fix things.

Advising the OP to Google for the answer is not what ifixit is all about.

People come to this forum for advice that will help them, not just to be told search on Google.

If necessary posting links to information found online, relating to the problem as an addition to your answer to further explain how to fix the problem is the better way to go.
