Passo 1

Se necessário, remova a capa de plástico colada na placa de contato da bateria.

A plastic foam cover also covers plug and socket and the whole battery. It is easy to remove it from the right side to the trackpad wire that the battery plug is free like shown in the picture. I kept it to use it again later.

I have done tons of these battery replacements.

You don’t need to do anything on the list after you disconnect the battery, apart from carefully moving the speakers out of the way, and then prise up the battery modules. I just very carefully, and with little even motions, use a large slot screwdriver. Being careful to keep it flat, to not puncture the battery.

Easy peasy. I have never had an issue after dozens of the tasks…

Dear Sir,

as you seem to be very much experienced with battery replacements you might perhaps give me a hint why after having removed the battery pack successfilly, the keyboard doesn't work anymore after booting the system. The Touchpad works, the keyboard backlight works but typing does not function at all.

I only disconnected the battery connector and touched nothing else. I am quite desperate …

Gerd Uyan -

I agree with Dave la Rose, provided you use heat rather than solvent to remove the old battery (or possibly floss, haven’t done that). Please see my comment further down this thread on how to use an iOpener for correctly heating the glue joint

I. Margaronis -

After removing battery contact board plastic. My screwdriver accidentally fell and touched the battery board. And it short circuited. Now my battery doesn't charge. My laptop doesn't work without charger now. shuts after a few minutes of use. Can i fix it without sending it for repairs?

Phillip Ngwenya -

Is replacing the battery necessary?

Ralph Louis -

For speaker replacement of course not, but you still need to disconnect the battery cable to disconnect the current from the speaker circuit.

O Bana -

How do we know if it's necessary to replace the plastic cover adhered to the battery contact board?

What are the factors that would require that?

Lux -

I think this step is only necessary for battery replacements; i.e. not necessary for speaker replacements (these instructions are used for both).

Bonjour,

Je vais changer ma batterie car mon ordinateur portable ne s'allume plus et ne se charge plus. Le clavier ne fonctionne plus non plus. Est-ce que changer la batterie suffit ?

De plus, l'intérieur de mon ordinateur est légèrement encrassé. Comment puis-je le nettoyer ?

Merci pour votre aide,

use the flat part, not the pointy part of the prying tool. I found it easy to wedge between the chipset and the lip of the plug, but from the other side than whats indicated in the picture. Then wobble it a little, just enough to loose the plug. Then do the same from the side indicated in the pic. No worries whatsoever. (And yes, this step is necessary, in order to disconnect the current from the speaker assembly)

O Bana -

Very new here. First timer. But why am I doing steps 4, 5, and 6, if I’m just trying to replace the SSD?

I have a 2011 13inch. My SSD crashed and won’t read anymore. I have nothing backed up and I have not updated the OS as advised above. Is there a need for steps 4, 5, and 6. And even more so, is there a point to salvaging this if nothing is backed-up and and the OS can’t be updated to macOS 10.13 High Sierra (or a later macOS)?

Passo 2

Com a ponta plana de uma espátula, levante o conector da bateria para fora de seu soquete na placa lógica.
Certifique-se de levantar apenas o conector, e não o soquete, ou você corre o risco de danificar permanentemente a placa lógica.

I have a friends MacBook Pro that has some water damage that caused the MacBook not to be able to use battery power, but still work when plugged into A/C. Upon further inspection I can see visible corrosion on a few of the 9 cables going from the battery connector to that small circuit board. Is it possible to just replace that circuit board?

jramsey21 - 19/12/15

Sometimes it can be enough to just clean the contacts without having to replace the entire board. Dosent work for complicated IC's like plcc type, where corrosion is underneath the chip. Here you will have to reheat and reapply the IC.

andrehedegaard - 14/05/16

When placing the battery connector back into the socket on the logic board, check that every part of connector is pressed down. You should hear a soft click when it's back in place.

Ethan Tarquin - 23/03/17

I thought I made sure it was connected but when running the computer it only detected the battery but couldn’t power it. I had to run with power adapter. Also it didn’t charge. I guess some pins were connected but not all. To verify that all were connected I removed the plastic cover, placed it carefully completely flat, and then reattached the plastic cover. After that it worked!

Jonas Ehrs - 16/05/18

Removing the battery connector took a bit of finagling. It wasn’t as easy as one would think. Be very careful when doing this as they warn to not damage it. Otherwise great instructions!!!!

Peppon - 13/07/19

Lift from the long, flat side, not the shorter side. In this picture, you should lift from the NORTH part of the connector, not the WEST side like they are doing. This is because you can spread the pressure from lifting the connector across more area, as compared to the side. I accidentally broke off part of my battery connector lifting it up the way shown, but was able to do it the way I described without problem. Make sure to lift from the wide part so you don’t have my same trouble!

Jaden Salama - 03/10/20

The connector is no more than 1mm thick… the socket is 3-to-4mm deep so make sure you’re trying to remove the connector itself, and not pulling at the socket.

Richie Egg - 22/08/21

Thank you Richie I was trying to lift the socket.

be careful the little square block is actually made of 2 parts and you only have to lift the upper part as Richie said

ilyes -

You can do it from the side like the picture, but i would recommend twisting almost like a screw driver once you have leverage under the overhanging part of the left side like in the picture. Twist the tool so that it starts to put pressure on the top, until you’ll hear it click out. You can be somewhat forceful but it shouldn’t require a lot of strength. Guiding the tool with one hand and twisting with the other is a good way to attempt this.

Colin Nowers -

After I put the battery back I found out at this step that the new battery connector was off by 2 mm (because I installed my battery slightly off). Since the connector is rigid, I removed it’s plastic cover (just like we all did in Step 4) to free the cable, which allowed me to bent it enough to properly plug the connector.

Marc -

Simple question: why we need to do this, I mean, disconnect battery from main board?

Bin Zhu -

Well, I’m reading this step in the battery replacement repair guide, so it’s pretty critical to disconnect the battery from the main board. I’m guessing these steps are reused in other guides where disconnecting the battery might not be such an obvious need.

surf -

Also wondering the same. I came here from a link to replace the fan. Is it necessary to disconnect the battery inorder to replace the fan?

Chris Andrews -

The connector wires from the battery to the connector are long

You'll have to bend them downward and into the small cove that exists so the connector can fit in place.
So use the a plastic card or flat end of the spudger to bend them downward and folded a bit back so the connector will fit in place.
Use your old battery as a guide for how they should be bent.

Hi All ,

I followed the instructions step by step and changed the board successfully and reconnected everything back. When I powered it back on I can see it is charging again however it just displays a black screen and no display. Keyboard light comes on as well and the apple logo light on the back lid also turns on. Not sure what is wrong ? It has been charging for more than 15 minutes and still no joy. Anyone able to help solve or identify the issue .

Thanks

Kaleem - 04/01/23

The connector cover is slightly wider and longer than the socket (<1mm) so there is a small "lip" around the top that can be used to lift it.

Richard KeslerWest -

If your are not familiar with those repairs, and as with most of those connections, I recommend to take the time to observe your computer and the pictures from the tutorial, reading instructions and comments before starting each step. This battery connector needs both a bit of force and of precision. For a battery repair the connection of the new battery is a bit more tricky, you need to have your battery in the right position and to force it a bit the connector

David Obis -

Hi, I only want to remove/examine/possibly replace the left speaker as it's crackling..........I don't think I need to remove the battery connector to the logic board?

Mickeytix -

Did you get an answer to your question? I have the same thought.

Michael Takamoto -

I initially thought the battery connector completely comes off. It does not! In the next step (#6) they explain that you only have to sort of 'unhinge' on its south side and bend it out of the way it so it comes off the connector on the board

Mukund - 27/09/24

Excellent instructions.

As always, the ifixit illustrated instructions are extremely detailed and helpful. And now, tools and accessories are included. Thank you, ifixit.com.

BTW, you can remove the speakers without unplugging the plugs, carefully unwind the wires, and then set them aside.

Vincent -

Keep the old battery handy to see how to bend the new wires into shape with forceps. Those wires are quite short and stiff, and have to fit down in the narrow ditch between the battery and the socket. Use the spudger to mash them down in there. Even when you do that, it's not easy to match the plug to the socket. But if you stand up and lean over the computer, to look at it from the front and upside-down, you'll see exactly what you're doing, and the plug snaps right in.

I am following this guide to exchange the display, and I don't think that disconnecting the battery is necessary for that (many steps of these guides are featured in different guides)

Passo 3

Vire o conector da bateria para cima para evitar o contato acidental com o soquete durante o reparo.

If you miss or let this step for later like I did, the power left in the battery even though the computer is completely shut down, will screw up the I/O board cable like I did. I noticed this after I put all the pieces back, turn the computer on and surprise, no wifi hardware is detected. -.-

sebasgaes - 08/08/16

I put a small piece of blue painters tape on the battery connector contacts to prevent it from accidentally making a connection and shorting. This helped keep things a bit more protected.

LaymanLab - 05/09/17

@sebasgaes, shoot, I'm only part way through the process, but I skipped this step thinking it wasn't necessary. I'm only through step 12 right now, but is there a fix if my machine doesn't recognize the wifi hardware after I've put it all back together? I don't see reference to the "I/O board cable" anywhere else in the instructions, so I'm confused about your mention of that...

UPDATE: I completed the job, rebooted, and all is well, wifi and all. Thanks anyway; gotta love iFixIt!!
