Resist

I have the same machine and upgraded it with 16GB of RAM, 480 SSD and a new battery last year. It became a new machine. I like the glass screen with a black border and the feel of this MacBook Pro, didn't want to buy a new one, plus I also like having the DVD drive in it. The only issue I've started to have is the trackpad doesn't make the click sound every so often. To fix this I tried the bang on it hack, which seems to work only temporarily. At some point I'm going to have to open it up and see if it's just dirt, or the screw needs adjusting, or the battery is bulging. I'm hoping it's not the Newer Tech battery bulging already. The original battery never bulged.

To be fair, most people don’t know that there are different generations of the Nest Thermostat and clearly they didn’t read that this was for the 2nd generation Nest Thermostat. Probably should have been pointed out in the instructions more clearly for those folks. Then they wouldn’t have been so confused about the battery voltage differences.

My old 3G iPad 1st generation won’t turn on because it needs a new battery. Trying to decide if it’s worth spending the money to replace the battery myself. Guess it could still be used to watch movies on Netflix via wifi and view pics.

I ignored steps 9 - 12 and just held the screen at the 90 degree position, to save time. Removing the old battery was a bit difficult, as it didn't want to unstick. Also had a little trouble getting the new battery connector to lock in place. But even with those two minor issues, I still finished the job in around 5 minutes.
