You see? The ones who don’t show their faces are really there to help and not use the utube platform for attention.

Great clear to the point explanation without any extra personal or advertisement. Appreciate it. Will give me an opportunity to eventually replace my internal battery. Thank you God bless you. Take care

I've replaced a bad bloated battery for my friend's MacBook Pro and now will be replacing my wife and my batteries. I love IFixit. Great products and excellent customer service. Nice straight forward video.
How did replacing your wife go?
@@mithileshiyer1499😂😂😂😂
I loved your video. My back book pro 2016 won't charge the light won't come in. The battery is I believe completely dead. I tried a friend's charger same thing. Thank you. I am certain it is the battery. Does one have to discharge static b4 replacing to not damage electrical
Eternally grateful. Got quoted £250 in one place and another said no as machine was "too old. I mean this is a rock solid MBP! Got new Apple battery and replaced using your video. Many thanks
Best apple product ever made.. i'm happy with my macbook i7 mid 2012 :) gl with ur videos
THANK YOU FOR THIS VID! IT WILL REALLY SAVE ME MONEY FROM BUYING A NEW ONE. One question, how was the battery life after installing the new ones? how many hours can you use it?
Great info! I successfully replaced my battery! Much easier than when I replaced a hard drive on my iBook ! Piece of Cake! Tho I did discover my laptop had the middle battery screw missing, no biggie. And I did end up with an extra? round piece with 4 holes in it. Which looked like the inside part for the rubber feet, none seemed to be missing.
Dude! Thank you so much for this video!! I really appreciate it man! My early 2013 MacBook pro retina 13 -- battery is dyyyyyyying. It dies within an hour or so. Constantly have to charge it. Was pissed when I WENT TO APPLE AND THEY TOLD ME $300 TO REPLACE.... and on their website it said $129.... but in this current virus who knows how long til stores. reopen.... so thank you for this vid man! I really really appreciate it! -G
SAME
I have the maxed out 2012 15inch and my battery had the same problem, I’ve repasted the thermal paste, I’ve cleaned the dust and bought a new battery, installed an 1tb ssd and is holding strong. It will last more 2-3 years for me.
Hi there!! Thank you for this video, I was just wondering about the calibration of this battery what steps i have to follow and also if the battery ANYONEER that i ordered is much worse than that from IFIXIT ,thank you !!!
Thank you for this video. Very happy that I don't need to spend thousands of dollars on a new macbook! My early 2011 pro still works AMAZINGLY and I really spend more on another just because the battery doesn't last!
how did you go with replacing your battery? I'm planning on purchasing battery to replace mine. I love my 2011 MacBook I wanna keep it as well
Never believe a single word any Mac store ever says to you
Apple really need to bring back MagSafe and glowing Apple logo back.
I agree, but they never will. Everything will go USB C and the glowing logo reduce his strength when you get that thin with the top
It was stupid go get rid of those magsafe connectors. Do you know if the after market ones are any good? I have heard they are crap
that’s why i don’t buy the new ones
What size Tool is used for the Y screws? There’s several sizes tool out there. 0.8, 2.0 or 2.5
hi guys, the greatest results that i've ever had was by following the Magic Mender Wizard (just google it) without a doubt the most incredible info that I've tried.
My 13” MacBook 💻Pro mid 2012 needed a battery replacement and it seemed to have a problem with the track pad but the Apple store said the battery probably swelled. Now the trackpad works fine.
I just installed a new battery in my 13 inch 2012 MacBook Pro. It was down to around 40% of capacity, and would only last about an hour off AC. Funny, the old battery had a "Do Not Remove Battery" warning on it. Now I've got a new battery, along with a new SSD drive replacing the old 5400 rpm drive, and 16 gigs of ram. Feels like a brand new computer now. Thanks for the tutorial.
how many years can you legitimately expect for it to last now?
@@yojackdylan A few more years at least. Looking to replace it with a M2 MacBook Air, maybe wait till there are some refurbs in the Apple store.
This has been so helpful to me! Thank you!
thank you this was so helpful, concise and to the point!
Thanks so much! I have a 13" Apple Lap Top and this was a great guide! The ol' 2012 laptop is booting up as we speak.
Nice to see these older Macs!
Thank you very much for all your help. 🙏🏽👌🏾👍🏽🌞
Yup it's definitely time to repair my Macbook. Been 10 years. Probably can use it for another 5-10 years if I keep it in good shape. I just use it to go on the internet, download music, and stream videos.
Hi… great video… have been trying to find out what the black thing with 2 prongs is near the middle of the battery on the inside frame is …
Thank you for this. Very helpful.
Early 2013 15” apple laptop 💻 are also easy when it comes to changing battery 🔋?
Thanks.
I am replacing mine now. I noticed that the plastic wrap is still on the old battery.
Could that have made the battery heat up etc and lead to its demise??
Ciao
Does it power on with the power cable while the battery is out?
Whoa whoa whoa !! How did it work with the plastic tab still in place on the new pack??
Now to see how old my Mac Book is, thank You, very Helpful.
Thanks SO much!!!
Done tons of times - so easy 👍🏼👍🏼 only have experience with mbp mb .... 2012 and older - they are so nice almost everything is fixable with few tools 🤟🏽
My replacement battery won’t charge and the MagSafe cable won’t go orange. How do I fix this?
@@tygoose try resetting SMC - System Management controller (control, alt, shift, on) - this will reset your battery and charger....
@@mouselander that didn’t seem to work. This is a 2010 15”. Could that be why it’s not working?
@@tygoose try it a couple of times - your mother board is somehow not registering - if you put the dead battery back in will the charging cabel work?
@@mouselander I don’t have the dead battery. It’s a laptop from a family member who got rid of the battery a while ago.
I got a MacBook Pro 2010, when is the ideal length to replace the battery in that?
I love this channel, do you think Apple should of gotten rid of the led for the MacBook 💻 Pro
Keep up the great work
are you still using it? How much cycles does this batterie have now?
i changed mine 2 years ago with a noname batterie and it says "change battery" after around 500 cycles.
Apple claims the original batteries hold up for 1000 cycles. I am curious, which replacement batterie i should get next and if there are some on the market, that hold up for 1000 cycles like the original ones.
Thanks boss
I just replaced the battery in my mid 2012 MacBook Pro the battery swelled and pushed the trackpad up to where it wouldn’t work and this just happened over a 3 day period
Great video lots of great info
mine broked the touchpad
Did your original or replaced battery swell?
How long did it last after you replaced it? Planning to do the same before finally buying a new macbook
@@Pinnetje-filmpjes it was still goin when I replaced the Mac Book almost 2 years later
@@KE4YAL impressive! I ordered a battery
I’m in almost the exact same situation. Swelled old battery, same macbook, and got a new battery. All steps worked okay, but the thing is when they took out the old battery they took away the three Y0 screws that secure the battery to the case.
As far as I can tell the lower case being screwed on doesn’t give the battery much wiggle room. What are the risks of not having those screws? Am I okay if I’m just extra careful with the laptop or should i really not use the laptop without those three screws?
Do an SSD replacement/upgrade on a MacBook Air! I’d love to see a video about that!
I have already. Just search my videos for it and you’ll find it
zollotech Thanks :)
zollotech how is it holding up?
Good, still works fine
It is a piece of cake in a MBP. I put one in mine
Thanks mate great work.
Thanks man!
Is this the same with the 13 inch model? (Early 2011)
Hello,
Will battery from late 2011 15" fit in mid 2012 13" MacBook pro?
Thank you
I just got one of these MacBook Pros and the battery dies quick in it, I would like to replace it. How long should a new battery last and what is the difference between all the $30 batteries sold on eBay vs the $90 from iFixit?
How's the battery is it good to buy from tht particular company
Thank you for this clear description. Changed my macbook pro battery by myself. Even though Apple tried to scare me with a 'don't change the battery' sticker. Not bad for a 68 yr old woman!! Needs to be said: with the battery I bought came 2 little screwdrivers that fit the battery.
Where can I buy the fix it kit and battery from? My son battery on his MacBook pro is no good...it only stay charge if plugged up.
Can the battery in the iPad Pro 12.9 be replaced?
Will this model MacBook stop working if battery is dead or would that be a failing hard drive?
Do you still use that MacBook Pro?
If I for sure can tell the battery is swollen , could replacing it be potentially dangerous? I have an old 13 inch mac pro from 2010 that has signs of having an expanded battery , (and a pushed up track pad) I haven't used it in forever since I have a new model but I don't want to leave it in the house like that and would like to give it a new battery and it does have fam pictures on it that I don't want to just toss away. In your experience would it be to dangerous to change?
Do we need to calibrate that new battery?
Thank you
hi, thanks for your video. Clear and to the point. One thing though, is it recommended to download files into external memory before taking the battery out?
Thanks. No, it makes no difference as the storage doesn’t change without power.
Thanks
Very nice and simple video
Just change the battery and it’s working just fine
My charger for my mid 2012 MBP blinks orange and green. My laptop doesn’t turn on, I replaced the battery but still nothing. Any idea on what it may be?
So I did this. The magsafe cable doesn't light up with either a red or green dot when connected. I tested it on another mac and it's fine. The charge bar at the side of the computer doesn't light up when I press on the button either.
I replaced the battery with a new one and there's no difference. The cable is reconnected correctly. Nothing is loose and I went over it all with a magnifying glass to be certain.
Any advice?
my batter cell is very expending. I think at least two of them. I can't get the bottom on. How do I know which battery to get? I think mine is older than yours.
old battery model is SMP W0139, what is the new battery model u insert is
I have the similar map early 2011, it works like a charm, the system gets hot sometime and the battery icon turns red, my battery is not lasting. Can someone tell me how much the OEM battery costs.. and not the aftermarket. Where can I search for this .?
Thanks!
I am with the same problem can you help Me get the battery ?
ok so I bought a 2011 macbook pro from my friend and I replaced the battery but the battery time is sill not that much
I did a massive repair on my MacBook and screwed up on something.
I’ve replaced the battery, speakers, keyboard and thermal paste.
Now it is stuck on a black screen when turned on.
I’ve tried SMC/PRAM reset and another reset I don’t know the name (remove battery, press power button for 5 seconds then plug the battery and turn on).
After SMC reset the screen blink one time than nothing else.
Does anyone can help me?
sorry. technologically somewhat challenged.....how can i find out if I have a mb pro 13 unibody, retina, or pro 13? (I'm trying to find it in the 'about this mac' but I don't see it? and I don't have the box anymore since i got it a while ago
I Lost two screws that hold down the battery....where can i get them ?????
I did noticed that you didn't placed the screws on the magnetic place present on the i-Fix it Pouch. Just Saying. Peace
I’ve arrived here out of necessity because my MacBook Pro 13” 2011 Laptop battery wasn’t charging anymore. It was displaying 9% and the fan was going mad then suddenly all went black and it won’t come back on. Should replacing the battery sort this out?
thnx for the vid !! could you also leave the drive out and put nothing at all in that position inside or does something need to be plugged in that connection for the system to work properly ??
No, you can leave it unplugged it won't make a difference
thnx a lot for the reply !!
Can I use the same battery for a Mid 2010? Btw... why not an OWC battery, it´s cheaper.
How long does a replaced battery last???
I wonder how the replacement batteries last compared to the OEM. I have a 13" 2012 macbook pro that I bought used. The battery shows good in the information but it doesn't always show a green led
I would say probably the same
Is it safe?
Hey, hope this comment reachs you. I had the same issue with battery. As i was using this mac at my bedroom i didnt bought a new battery and started using it cabled. Now i gave this macbook to my gf and she wants to replace the battery. Here's the issue, hope you can help me: the power button doesnt seen to work, the way I turn the computer on is by attaching the power cable. After using i turn off the system in the regular way, but to turn on i cant press the power button, i have to unplug and plug back again the cable. I guess that if i just get a new battery it may be useless without the power button, but i also hope that the power button issue may be conected with the absence of the battery and when i get a new one it will work again. Any clue? Thank you anyway!
Can the batter gets heated?
exact same thing just happen to me with my 2011 macbook pro
where can i buy that ram from?
I like your MacBook
do we need to calibrate it or something?
the screws are different sizes whats the placement directions?
Is the MB Pro 2015 also easily repairable?
No, but the battery is
I need a new battery for my 2011 MBP too. It says I have to replace it. But finding a good battery I was worried about. I will order one now from ifixit.
Todestelzer please let me know how it goes!
Yes how is it working for you?
My Mac battery life doesn't last even upto 1hrs anymore what should I do please?
Anybody have a hack for getting those Y screws out? I'm sitting here with a bloated battery and that's what's stopping me from removing it
How much the battery?
I have not used my mac book pro for 2years due to battery dead issue.
3days back I replaced new battery.The battery works fine but MacBook is not working when I turn on.
What is the reason?
So you have to unplug then plug the battery again. After that if it works dont shut down ur macbookpro ever again just make it sleep when ur done with it
What about the Macbook Air 2010+ ?! That all have crap batteries ?!
Why does your Macbook actually have a grey bootup screen? Mine is black like on iPhone. Is there a way to change this? Because I like the grey one better
It depends on the version you’re on.
I need to replace mine is there a specific brand that you would recommend? I see different ones on amazon
Just find a good quality battery from a seller that sells computer or mobile phone parts.
Otherwise the other sellers just buy the cheapest ones and resell just to make as much profit as possible.
Try buy oem if you have the money if not aftermarkets are fine.
@@TT-zp8hg Thanks Brah!!
Anybody know what would cause a weird stinky chemical sort of smell to come from my MBP mid-2012? I tried cleaning out the fans and everything and it still smells... It's so weird!!
My charger stays green and doesn’t turn orange shortly after. The MacBook dies as soon as I unplug it. This is with the brand new battery replacement. What did I do wrong
Hello brother,
My Macbook Pro 13 inch (mid 2012) sleep immediately I plug out the power source and it will not on again until I plug in the power, when I plug in the charger, it usually switch on by it self. I try different method such as:
Resetting SMC, PRAM reset. I remove the battery and plug it in again. I finally loose the mother board and fix it back thinking it might resolve the issue but still no result.
Please can you help me check out the issue?
By the way I'm running Catalina
Thank u in advance!
Have you found the solution for this? I have the exact same issue you describe.
im told that the macbook pro mid 2012 cant be removed that you have to replace the entire keyboard section this is what apple tells me is this completely true? the macbook i have is not under warranty
how to clean the fans? mine is dirty and it makes the laptop runs hotter
Ilmian Sujatmiko probably go buy a can of air and just spray it to get the dust out
does someone know if the battery cycle count reset to 0 when detects a new battery? or I can't be reset?
it resets auto
battery cycle count is recorded on the battery itself not on the system.
Remember that you have to calibrate it and an SMC reset isn't a bad idea on the first boot after replacement.
mine i didn't calibrate. i just plugin and used it all day no issues
I replaced mine but orange light never shows only green
I miss the unibody macbook pro's so easy to upgrade ram, hard drive, and battery I do wish Apple would let us at least upgrade the ram and ssd instead of being greedy pigs
is it safe to leave it charging 7x24 and never reboot?
I've heard that the ideal charge range for lithium ion batteries is 80-20%. I used to run a program that would turn off A/C when charge got to 80%, then let the battery discharge to 20% before charging again. Do some research, but mine suggested that charging battery all the way to full continuously will hurt overall life. Not sure if this applies to running on A/C 24/7, but basically letting battery totally discharge to 0 and then going back to 100 daily I found not to be the best for long term life.
How do you upgrade ram on it? I was thinking of getting memory cards from OWC
If you see in this video, the RAM is just above the battery. All you do is pop it out and put the new RAM in
Easy to do, thanks for share your knowledge.
Can an apple store fix my macbookpro battery? If i buy the battery then they put it in since they said they dont have those parts anymore
No, they don't do that.
@@zollotech oh okay so i would have to do it
Yes
@@zollotech okay
