My Problem
The battery in my 2011 Macbook Air wasn't holding a charge anymore, so I could get about 45 minutes of solid use before it started spinning to save memory before hibernation.
My Fix
The repair couldn't have been easier. The tools were right, the guides were great, and the whole thing took maybe 20 minutes.
My Advice
The tape trick definitely came in handy. Make a couple of loops of scotch tape and stick them to your work area. Then, any time you remove one of those ridiculously tiny screws, stick it to the tape. They don't get lost, are easy to count, and if you lay the tape out in the order that the guide mentions them, it's easy to remember what's what.
