"The 3 bits for the driver only worked on the outer case screws. The inner screws had a smaller pitch which I had a different tool for.
Other than that, a great kit. I was able to complete the repair in about an hour. The acetone does smell very bad, so good ventilation and taking breaks is important.
It would be interesting if there was a better guide for placing the new battery. Perhaps a jig. Getting the plastic parts to align is a challenge once the glue bonds.
Also my model had 2 screws for the BMC not one, and the trackpad cable was router under the battery not over."
"Hi,
I Just received all the items that were damaged.
Great and kind service!
Even after years of use iFixit swap my broken equipment.

"The kit and the contents of it are fairly decent. Though, the soldering iron itself is really bad and will suffice for extremely easy jobs with large amounts of room, but for basically anything having to do with pcs to small electronics it’s basically useless. The size of the tip makes doing anything impossible on standard small boards and the inability to have any control makes it even harder. Liquid flux would be nice as well but the kit does include “flux infused” materials."
"Everything was packaged professionally and it all arrived a day early. The replacement part worked great! Though I ran into some issues due to the phone case being bent, I managed to carefully bend and carve the metal back into shape. I do have one complaint, Face ID was disabled. In the product description it only warned about true color. Could be user error ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ"
"The baterry discharges very quickly till 1% where it remains for a while. Even if you calibrate it again, it the behaviour of the battery does not change which makes the use of the smartphone very inconvenient as you do not know how much battery yo have left."
"Battery arrived within 2 days.
Received an email confirmation upon delivery which included a link to the installation instructions specific to my computer.
Installation was a breeze (less than 10 minutes).
I couldn't be happier with the overall experience.
Thank you!!!

"I ordered a battery for my late 2013 15" MacBook pro,
The battery was delivered within a few short days and with the guidance of I-fixit how to videos it made replacing the battery in a breeze!
Thank You with an exclamation!

"The teather cable I bought from here worked!!!
Shoutout to iFixit, you guys are amazing thanks ^^"
"Works well, had the battery disconnect part I was looking for."
"This was almost 5 stars, but the repair guide for this controller needs to be updated -- step 11 mentions that there are some extra clips in some revisions, but doesn't give specific guidance. I couldn't figure how to spudge them open, and ended up breaking both the clips in the process. Happily, this doesn't seem to be an issue, the rest of the repair was smooth, and those clips don't seem to do anything -- or I'd be rating this lower!
The new joystick covers don't feel the same as the old ones; they're slightly firmer. I think that's a good thing."
"I had been looking for a specific manufactured part for my water softener. I found a very competitive price here along with quick shipping and a return policy. The part arrived within a day, extremely well packed for safety and came with installation instructions. Truly has been a very smooth experience."
"Our Apple MacBook Air wasn't able to hold a charge for very long. If it unplugged, the battery was so bad that it would shut down after 2 minutes being unplugged. I was going to sell it because I didn't think I could replace the battery. But, found iFixit and was able to install the new battery myself. It's like a brand new computer! Amazing. Battery lasts forever!!"
"Tom helped me when I reached out to customer support and gave me a excellent and fast service with great communication. He helped me resolve my problem asap and my trust in this company has only gone up. Will definitely buy more of their product offering, keeping an eye out for the soldering kit."
"The repair video failed to explain that the battery was held in with diet cement. While trying to 'gently pry out the battery' the plastic card slipped and caught the battery connector on the main board, splitting it apart. Had to order a new Switch. "
"Ordered a part for my Frigidaire freezer & paid the extra for overnight delivery. Next day Fedex said it was to be delivered between 10:00 AM & 1:50 PM, and later listed as " delayed" . Soon to be listed as delivery on the second day. I sent an email to Ifixit asking for an explanation and a return of my money from the 2 day air from one day air and they did not even have the courtesy to respond to my email ! Do not do business with this careless company. I will never buy from them again !!!!"
