To ensure the battery sticks like a charm, you’ll want to get rid of all that old adhesive and any pesky residue.

– Grab the flat end of your trusty spudger and scrape off every bit of that old adhesive from the frame—nice and easy!

Step 3
– Place the battery into its spot and connect it to the logic board just to double-check the fit and ensure the cable isn’t too short. You want everything to line up perfectly before you stick it down.
