Ice Cream Repair! (Macbook Pro battery swap)

My Problem

A fellow employee had a half gallon of ice cream melt on top of her MacBook Pro. I was able to clean out all sticky residue off logic board, SSD, and battery but the battery controller board was shorted out. iFixIt to the rescue!

My Fix

It went well. I ended up using heat (sock filled with rice) instead of the chemical adhesive remover. That really was the toughest part. Just took patience.

My Advice

Don't let your spouse forget to get bring ice cream from the trunk to the freezer on a warm Texas night.
