Thank you for catching this!

Yes, it can be reinstalled.

Hi Ben!

We warn against reusing batteries because they are usually deformed during removal, which increases the chances of a "thermal event" happening in the future. If you were able to remove yours without deforming it at all, then you should be fine to reuse it.

That being said, with internal water exposure a battery replacement is almost always necessary. It depends on the level of contamination. If it were my phone, I would buy a new one. They are not too expensive.

Thanks for noticing this! I am correcting it now.

I haven't tested this! I will look into it. Good question.

I tested the procedure and found that these iMacs were similar enough that reshooting photos was not necessary. As noted in the introduction, some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.

What components will need to be transferred over will depend on the replacement screen you receive. Some come with everything, some don't. I reference the parts iFixit sells when writing guides, and this guide will be updated if necessary once we have these screens in stock.

Good catch, thank you. For this step we used an impact wrench and the bolt was able to turn independently of the crankshaft. If you don't have an impact wrench available, having a second person hold it steady with a bar clamp may also work.

Unfortunately, even if you disassemble your phone clean it in an ultrasonic bath, then replace the battery, you’d still have to be very lucky for it to power back on with data intact.

The OWC Aura drive you ordered is designed to fit Apple’s proprietary interface, and should work fine with your machine without the need for an adapter. Good luck with your repair!
