So easy. It certainly saved me some money doing it myself vs. bringing it to an authorized repair dealer. Thank you!

I think I was a little clumsy with this delicate bit of kit - not done anything like this before. The battery is working though! Any clues about the screen?

This is where the entire affair can go sideways if you're not careful about how to pry the metal latch off. The metal latch needs to be CAREFULLY lifted back (away from the battery) and NOT up. A study needle or pin, is a better tool than the mini screwdriver. Bigger pictures would certainly help here as well. The instructions for Step 3 come up pretty wanting.

Little nervous about applying too much pressure to release the clip, but it came up nicely and snapped right back into place after inserting the battery. Thanks alot! Great directions.
