I cannot recommend this video enough. I was quoted by an Apple approved "Specialist" £600 pounds to replace what they said would be the back panel, battery and keyboard. They said that its because components are "welded" to the chasis.
I think what they meant to say was that there's double-sided tape and a few screws.
£40 for a new battery from Ebay (Official Apple part) and 45 minutes of time going very carefully.
You are an absolute legend thank you so so much.
How did you figure out it was the battery you needed to fix ??
Perfect! nice straight forward tutorial that is not longer then it needs to be. I used a white disposable plastic spoon and a bit of rubbing alcohol to remove the adhesive.
TIP: use dental floss under the battery to cut through the adhesive
Good tip!
Just replaced it, your the greatest, didn't take long at all. So happy I found you.
Awesome video. Helped me change my battery, and everything worked perfectly. Word of caution, though… When removing the old battery, absolutely do NOT bend the old battery. I bent one of them too much, and it literally caught on fire for a second and then started smoking for a while after. And then I bent another one on the other side, and it started smoking as well. So just be very careful. But other than that, everything went perfectly and this video was fantastic! Thank you!
Thanks you so much for shearing your experience, this model MacBook Pro needs a professional to do the job but most people with common sense and some research can get the battery changed done safely, No bending, No Sharp Objects, No Poking, No Heating, And Make make sure you discharge the battery by letting the laptop stay on until turns off due to low battery before starting the battery swap.. Good luck
@@tekdep Also would be good if available to have a supple of sand that can be dumped on the unit if it catches fire to smother it.
I also almost had a fire!
Crappy design altogether!
I just followed your instructions to the T and worked perfectly. It was so much easier than I thought. Everything turned on and worked. Trackpad was not damaged. IFixIt had longer instructions to remove trackpad and board but this was much easier. Thank you my friend. 🙏🙏🙏
What a Legend! Thank you sir, it would have never been possible for a repair noob like me to replace this overly complicated battery set up in my Mac pro 2018.
Thanks a bunch! Wishing you the best!
😁 thank you very much!
Thank you so much for the video. It was much quicker than using the adhesive remover and easy to follow along. 👍🏽
I Agree… 🪛
Just got through using your method. Worked great. Got to admit I was nervous, but I followed your steps and I'm calibrating the battery now. Thanks.
Glad it helped! Good luck 🍀
nice instructions. Be aware that parts of the touchpad boards are exposed under the battery in case you are prying in those areas. All it takes is one wrong move and you could damage the touch pad. That is all I could add to this after having done it now.
Thank you dude
I felt like you were holding my hand every step of the way 😊
Managed to pull this off with out a hitch and now my old
Laptop has a second shot at life
Thank you again
Followed you step by step. perfection!!
Very thorough and straight forward instructions. Thank you!
Kudos, so well done. was my first time and managed to follow along and change it - so helpful!
Thanks for the video. I did mine successfully. Did take a minute. I bent all the tools except for the screw driver.
THANK YOU for this video! My cousin and I changed it through your assistance and I’m SO grateful🙌🏽💪🏽☺️
Your relaxed walk-through inspires confidence that makes the replacement easier. For the adhesive I use the edge of the Spudger which I dampen with a paper towel soaked in Isopropyl Alcohol. This ensures no liquid spillage while getting it to the leading edge where it's needed.
Hello, thank you so much for watching! we appreciate your support & feedback, it has been passed to our team!
Tried this in India. Worked like a charm. Thanks a ton
Best guide for this device I’ve seen. Thank you.
Thank you for your video! I've successfully changed blotting battery in my macbook pro
Cheers pal, very straightforward video
As said below, perfect instructions, made it relatively easy to change this battery pack. Thank you a lot!
Hello, thank you so much for watching! we appreciate your support!
This was extremely helpful! Great job.
Glad it was helpful!
life saver, right to the point, nothing unnecessary. thx
excellent video. My 12 year old just replaced the battery on my 2017 macbookpro with your instruction. thank you. very helpful
Thank you!! Really useful video. I had a problem with the with the flex cable (min 11.05) because I didn't unlocked the mechanism, but your video was enlightening for me
Thanks for this video. Really appreciate it
Thank you for your complete teaching! I would like to ask me where the touchpad fails after replacing the battery! Thank you very much for your answer
Gracias por el vídeo, me ayudó Muchísimo como guía para cambiar la batería, muchas gracias buen hombre
Just did it too. It was a very tense moment to push the power on button after this, but I jumped through the room when my MBP worked with a fresh battery again. Thanks a lot!
Great Job!!! We are glad to have helped you on this repair!
Thank you for making a really good video ❤
Thanks for the post. Great video! One tip You don't need to remove the screws on the main board on my Macbook (mine only has one fan though so maybe a bit different). Also I had to salvage the cable from old battery to replace on the new one. Mine new battery didn't come with one, so just an FYI for those who's batteries didn't come with a cable. Again many thanks
That's really awesome dear sir! Thank you very much for this video! It's really helpful and your explain is very good! Have a great day to you and your family members!!!
Followed this and got there. Tip to anyone about to do it, remove your new battery sticky plastic once you have place it in so you don’t risk breaking the ribbon👍🏼
Great vid.. that helped a lot - thanks.
Thankyou. I followed your instructions from start to end. stopped and started. stopped and started. all worked fantastic. now I need to buy the screwdrivers. From Denmark. Thankyou

When removing the battery , absolutely no up and down movement of the tool. Just slide across slowly and firmly.
Great Advise 👍

Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you for the video!!! -just a question... what about the quality of the battery you sell. It is a new battery or an old battery???
Super Video.
Followed the directions, replaced the battery successfully. Thanks for the guidance. Replacing the trackpad flex cable bracket, I got some arcing as I fumbled the bracket. No damage done as far as I can tell, but some advice about being careful with it, or a way to insulate the surrounding area as you move the bracket into place and get it screwed down would be nice.
Great Tip! Thank you...
Did you lose any data when replacing the battery ?
@@Rarrigotdawave my old battery swelled so much the MacBook wouldn't sit flat on a surface. So I disconnected the battery to prevent it getting worse, and ran it on mains power only (while I waited for a new one). If you pull the plug the whole machine dies instantly. To answer you question.. nope I did not lose any data. Including after replacing the battery
Thank you very much for the easy-to-follow guide. I did everything as directed, but my mac wouldn't come on. Can you help with this?
Thanks for the video. I replaced my battery but now my left fan is running at full speed all the time. I can’t even control it with a fan control app. I tried to reset the smc and nvram but it did nothing. Any idea?
thank you so much, great video
Glad it was helpful!
Watching this adds to my not wanting to buy a Apple computer ever again.
Thank you so much for this! Me and a buddy successfully changed his battery! It was way easier than I expected! However, we did everything we could to prevent losing any screws but somehow we still did lol. We lost one of the screws (I believe a T3 ) that goes into the logic board. It seems to be firm be and snug and level without it, but I would feel better if we just got a replacement screw. I just don’t know the length or where to get them? Could you point me in the right direction?
That is great that you been able to change your own battery! good feeling
regarding the missing screw you should be fine, apple use lots of them so if you lose one it shouldn't be any issue but if you want to replace it for sure than visit the link below for the screw sets

I have managed to replace the battery, phew, but sadly I might have damaged the circuit for the trackpad which is now unresponsive. Does the circuit below the center batteries for the track pad? I saw one pin damaged because I scratched with a minus driver. Or is it more likely because of the cable connection?
I didn't see any battery options for a late 2017 13inch macbook pro. Will they become available at some point or is it the same battery as the 15 inch macbook?
Good directions, thank you. I notice that you didn't remove the trackpad as other people do, in order not to damage it. But, I think is possible to do without removing the trackpad, but it takes a lot of care. isn't it?
Veve. the trackpad is not on the way of battery removal, the trackpad cable is but not the trackpad it self, not sure why they would of remove it.. here is a link that we completely disassembled this model and you would see that trackpad is not on the way, good luck :)

merci beaucoup, ça n'a pas été facile, gros stress, mais tout fonctionne. le seul problème a été de défaire les vis du capot qui se sont cassés au départ.
Thank you so much for posting this. Have an issue though. After replacing the battery, it seems to be slow and the fans spin high all the time. What does that mean?
Thank you!
This May Help, Try resting your SMC

Does it really matter if you damage the ribbon cables of the original battery since you are disposing of it anyway?
Thanks ☝
You're welcome! ☺️
Thank you bro i did it with your tips 🌹🌹🌹
Love to hear it! Glad we could help
Where did you buy this battery? Any brand name? Was it the right choice? Thanks for your feed-back.

Very nice video, however question. I have replaced the battery on an older model macbook before (2014) and i had to do some things after replacing the battery to recalibrate the computer to that battery. Are these ones just plug and play or are there steps i have to go through to make sure the computer recognizes the battery? Thanks
Thank you! Resting the SMC is recommended.
Here is a link on how to rest SMC,

I found your video very helpful. The only thing is now I have an “X” showing over my battery. Please help!!!
Your video was the most informative and straight forward. Thanks. I changed the battery. BUT!!!! what was not mentioned in your video was how you have to be REALLY CAREFUL sliding your pry tool under the center batteries to get them off. I unfortunately must have pry too hard, and my tool slipped into the small square holes under the batter leading to the back of the trackpad electronics. So, after reconnecting, my trackpad AND keyboard both don't work. Fortunately, I am working around this by using an external BT keyboard and a logitech mouse via USB dongle.
Perhaps I may have not connected that ribbon cable properly? Could this be the reason why both my keyboard and trackpad are not working afterward?
Or is it because the PRAM or SMC is off because of the battery replacement?
Hopefully is is not a damage issue, and maybe the ribbon cable or the memory.
Any suggestions?
Oh, I also just bought your 9 in 1 disassemble tool kit from your website.
Thanks.
It’s been some time; did you manage to fix your issue?
@@MatthewChenIsAwesome honestly, my A1707 15" MacBookPro is suffering from the cable gate issue involving a monitor ribbon cable defect causing these and other models to blackout the screen when lid is opened past 45°.
A class action lawsuit against Apple on this issue was filed, and Apple managed to get that case sent back down to the original court. Aintiffs are revising their lawsuit and plan to refine it. Apple already agreed to provide free fix ($600) for the 13 inch macbooks. But not for the 15 inch models for some reason.
So. To answer your question. No. No I have not put any more effort into this computer other than to get it up and running and able to function is to function enough for me to use with with the lid partially open. I'm actually looking at the LG Graham 17" model as a replacement just to get rid of the entire macbook line from my from my computer use
Thanks you!
You're welcome!
My battery is still OK. I watched your video to see how to access the fans. I'm sure mine need cleaning after hundreds of hours of use.
I was taught that it is important to restrain the fan blades from spinning to avoid unnatural forces damaging the fan bearings. I don't understand how that could really be a problem but I still do it out of respect for my instructors. Also because of superstition - I don't want to change my luck. : - )
Do you have anything else to suggest about cleaning the MBP A1707 fans or about other things to check when the case is open?
keeping inside the unit clean and free of dust will definitely increase the laptop life, air circulation and keeping the unit cool can means between having major issues such as gpu failure or not having one, i think cleaning the fans using antistatic brush is a good thing to do as regular maintenance, depending on the environment your using it can range from every 6 months to every 5 years... no need to remove the fans but if you can that is a plus.. good luck
I have replaced the battery. It is displayed with "coconut battery" also with 100% power. Unfortunately, I have the feeling that everything has become extremely slow on my MacBook due to the exchange. In addition, unfortunately, the touchpad and the mouse pointer no longer works. Please urgently for your help to my problems! Thank you very much:)
Can you help me please reply me I went to service center for battery replacement but they says you should also replace the case because battery comes with the top case I don’t understand why ? The issue is only battery but why top case replace they will replace the Touch Bar top case if I am not wrong also the keyboard . Do I really need to replace the top case or only the battery ?
thank you so much for sharing god bless you~!!🤪🤪🤪🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
Thank you Dave, Bless you as well :)
I accidentally tore the flex cable at 1:40. Is there anything I can do the replace it? Too bad I came across your video late.
How long should I charge it after replacement
Thank you for video.
Is it ok?? when new battery put on, not remove the under film... (I want to preserve the under film)
beecaus of the battery for easy detach. (Maybe next year?? I'll try it again this aversion working...)
please response..
Yes you can totally install the battery without making the battery adhere to the top case, although we do not recommend this!
Thank you for this video, i have done the same but now the Macbook wont turn ON, Do i have to do anything else or what else i can try? please let me know
Re check everything you did, and if everything looks ok than disconnect the battery and reconnect then connect you charger just to make sure the battery is fully charger. next try resting you SMC. link is below

What part (or board) do I need to replace if I tore the flex cable at 1:40? Thank you.
i guess the answer is battery and logic board.
Great Vid, Very clear and great you did it without removing the logic board. Apple seem to go out of their way to make this tricky Battery's do not need to be held in with adhesive. A small plastic frame with screws and not running cables under the logic board would make it a 5 min job. Like the MacBook air of this era.
Well they won't be able to do it much longer with new EU relations, all laptop batteries need to be user replaceable in 2027.
So I feel brave enough to do mine after watching this. But it still won't solve all the issues with this hideous laptop, speakers cut out at high volume (reboot solves it), keyboard keys stick, flex gate issue and faulty USB ports. This was a bad run of products for apple, Their arrogance made them refuse to see what customers really want. At least now they have listened, gone back to scissor mechanism keyboard and MagSafe with more ports and dropped the obsession with trying to make the macbook pro thinner.
How can i autoboot my MBP 13 touch bar 2017 ? My power buttom isnt working
is the battery ok? how long his her using life? I mean I want to replace my old one now has 1335 cicles and the message to replace was for 10 cicles, my Macbook is the MB pro 2017 15'' 3,1, nice video if im ready I will buy it from your website have I any guaranty?
Hey Charon, apple recommend changing battery when it hit 1000 cycle, but i seen battery's that works just perfect even at 2000cycle, it depends on the environment you been using you laptop but however if your not getting much of battery life than you may want to have it changed by a technician or change it your self if your conformable doing the repair, battery's we sell are very low cycle and we sell new one as well, here is a link

Successful done ✅ how to disable the software advice that is shown because of the old battery?
That is Great!
After some circles the advice about to change battery disappeared.
Where is the wifi module. Im sick of my mac disconnecting all the time and sometimes/most times cant connect. Also where is the hd and can it be replaced.
Has anyone ever done this with a battery that's expanding? Just curious how dangerous this is to do with a potentially compromised battery?
If you break the fpc connected (the first connector, how can I repair that, it looks like something I could possibly do to connect it, maybe tape or something idk
Hey Rick, sorry to say but if the cable is damaged you will need a new cable. And if you're talking about the actual retention mechanism where the cable is seated it will have be repaired at a shop. Tape will not work

I´ve replaced the battery and now the keyboard and USB ports doesn´t work! What´s happenning? Please help
Video was great and straight to the point, but did anyone actually try this> I'm to nervus
Thanks you, most people with common sense and some research can get the battery changed done safely, No bending, No Sharp Objects, No Poking, No Heating... And Make make sure you discharge the battery by letting the laptop stay on until turns off due to low battery before starting the battery swap. Good luck
@TEKDEP A technician at the apple Genius Bar told me he can’t replace the battery without replacing the top case, that the battery is connected to the keyboard etc. is this true..? He said he would charge me 700 for a top case and 200 for a battery replacement. (Sounds like a lie) I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch A1707
You can indeed change the battery without changing the top case as it’s shown on our video, good luck 🍀

Hey man, I dont know if you will see this message but I wa wondering if there's any way you could help me find an iPhone motherboard
We do not have iphone boards but im sure you can find a broken phone with good logic and use motherboard. .. look in to ebay or craigslist
thank you for the help! can't believe the poor design by apple lol put the battery cables under the motherboard....yeah okay
discharge your battery before doing this.
So how do you know when the battery is finally “bad?”..my screen has gone black but the unit still lights up..can it be a dead battery?
Screen is black that can't be the battery, if your laptop is staying on but no image than the issue can be simple as the lcd flex cable or as bad as the logic board or the lcd backlight it self, next thing you need to connect your laptop to a external lcd using hdmi and see if you can get it to work that way and post the update here and ill be happy to help with next step.
@@tekdep thanks..I believe its the lcd flex cable..do you sell them?..
I want to send my mac to you, how much would I cost?
We offer mail in repair services, please visit tekdep.com for more information
Can I use a1990 display for a1707?
That won’t be possible, both displays looks the same but completely different and won’t light up unless corrected model is installed.
Where we can buy original batteries apple?
You can find used one on eBay, many advertise new batteries to be original but you can’t trust that as most are counterfeit since Apple do not sell batteries to general public, can’t really find new apple batteries on the market unless your an authorized repair shop that can get it off Apple directly , or just have Apple fix the battery if you certainly want original one, otherwise you can find aftermarket batteries that match quality on tekdep.com
My service centre says they will also replace the top because its integrated
That is also a good option.
