Hullo. In the pic on step -1, near the top left screw, the back cover is cracking up. Whenever, I open the Display panel, the back panel at this point shows tendency to open. The screw is obviously is out of its threading. Is this damage, physical or due to battery swelling. My battery life seems alright. After full charge, it stays for more than 30h with intermittent use. Can you reply to svnarasimhan5@gmail.com

Hello,

Thank you so much for the guide.

Have a question though, is the following battery compatible for Lenovo Flex 5 1570 (Type 80XB): https://www.ebuyindia.in/products/origin...

I bought this battery to replace my old failed battery. The installation went very well. But I soon noticed that the battery and the charging adaptor were getting extremely hot every time I plugged it in. After 1 month the laptop stopped completely. There was absolutely no issues with the laptop before except the battery.

I would never go for an iFixit battery again.
