My Problem
Battery lost its ability to hold a charge. Apple wanted $400 do fix it. I live in the middle of nowhere so I was going to have to ship it.
My Fix
It was as simple as removing a few screws and pulling out the old battery and putting the new one in. Seriously the easiest repair I have ever done on anything. Also it was my first repair on a computer.
My Advice
I would recommend buying the screwdriver kit from here. It was nice because it had everything I needed. I didn't need to use the little black plastic thingy to pry the battery attachment off, I just used my fingernail. Make sure to keep your screws separated and labeled as to where they should go back. Three of the screws are longer than the others on the case, and then one screw on the inside is longer as well.
