The battery kit comes with one application of screen adhesive. Which is nice. And I was lucky enough to put it in correctly, but it’s a hassle and afterward realized… my phone back is cracked.. a lot. So waterproofing is off the table.
I should have skipped it.
Not sure if it’s the battery, or my install but Apple Device repair assistant won’t recognize the new battery.
Maybe related: charging from 0 to 100% takes about 6 hours. Which feels really long. And that’s after calibrating the battery a couple of times.
I’m going to open it up again and inspect the battery connector. Pity about the screen adhesive. But the second time is going to go way faster.
In step 11 you mention how lifting the heat sink off will void the warranty.
Surely you have voided the warranty already by now.
Can I open up my brand new iMac, put in a better hard drive and still be within my warranty? I am guessing I would be laughed right out of the genius bar, but if it isn't so .. do tell.
