This method was great. I was replacing a dead battery, and it was great not to have to deal with a chemical adhesive remover! It took very little time to remove the battery without damaging anything! I did not have a syringe with a needle, so i used an art syringe with a curved nozzle - it worked as well as a needle would have!
This method is so an awesome way to remove the glue underneath the battery cells. I want to thank you for sharing this. I live in Uganda and every part for Macbook is almost impossible to find. Being a computer technician here is a challenge indeed. Back in my home country Norway everything is available. Most of my clients here are expats. That's why I get to work on Macbooks
@Tech Services next time please tell people that alcohol damages the displays and you need to protect it with tissue + dillute it with water. I just followed your advice and my screen now broken with isopropyl alcohol.
@@duglasspolding1380 Yes, I killed two Retina screens because none of these RUclips videos mention how easy it is to destroy them with the smallest amount of liquid
Guys, be careful, I used >90% isopropyl (alcohol from the video) and it damaged my display. Always protect it with some cloth!!! Man, I'm so disappointed that u didn't recommend screen protection and it led to broken display.
A way to save it yes. BUT.... a 2015 battery or any battery for that matter will have many charge cycles on it depending on usage. This is a prime opportunity to simply replace it and not have to repeat again later. A new battery will last roughly 4-5 years so not simply replacing it is really not the best idea nor practical. If this was recorded 2 years ago, then this battery is all LEAST halfway gone if not more..... This a horrible tutorial the more I watch . Isopropyl like that will destroy the LCD if not separated or a towel I between. Definitely do NOT do it this way. Use dental floss if piano wire, then goof off on a towel and replace the battery 9nce it's exposed to alcohol (battery adhesive removal like he did here) that battery is at risk.

Good point. Probably best to open the Mac upside down over the edge of a table
@@LoveableRogueone drop and the retina screen is done, I wish the Apple would improve this moment with batteries

Do you need to glue back again the battery or it doesn't matter? Great video, thanks for sharing! :)
70% isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle also works well! Doing that now. Just takes ~2 mins and then it's easy enouth to pry the batteries off.
If I may, what did you use to stick them back on, and where did you get it?
I've found there's enough residual 'sticky' left even after removal. Failing that use a couple of strips of double sided tape.
@@BrianWMay any? Or does it have to be some heat resistant type?
sometimes when I almost there, usually the last block it Burns and I'm like FKKKKKK another $50 gone....:))
Whoever came up with the idea to glue the batteries down on MacBooks needs to be fired.

Thanks for making me aware!
