Get iFixit's Battery First Next Time!

Mijn probleem

I chose to replace my battery after significantly degraded battery life through years of constant use. That, and it annoys me when batteries hold a charge like they should.

So I bought a super cheap battery and replaced it. That worked fine for a couple of months, until it gave me the "black screen constant rebooting" error all the time.

I chose to replace the battery again when this happened -- this time with iFixit's battery!

Mijn oplossing

The shipping company managed to destroy the package and lose the battery. The empty package made it to my door with tire marks on it! I called up iFixit and they shipped another one right away. Very grateful for stellar customer service.

I did this once before, months earlier, but the guide makes this super straight forward. It went swimmingly. That means well.
