Easy

My Problem

My MacBook Pro was from early spring 2011... here it is 2015 and the battery was worn out. So much so, that I had to stay connected to the cord most of the time because the battery would only last a couple or three hours or so.

My Fix

I didn't want to pay the repair shops the exorbitant amounts they were asking for to replace the battery, but I was tired of the ball and chain that was my computer cord, so I bit the bullet and ordered two screwdrivers, the spudger and the battery. I don't think I really needed to order the tools... tools I had here at home might have worked (well... maybe needed the Tri-wing screwdriver). I followed the written directions step by step and it was EASY!! Thanks so much ifixit for for saving me time and money!!

My Advice

Check all the tools and save a little more money by only getting what you really need!!
