Hi, thank you for this tutorial.

I’ve tried to remove the battery myself but I’ve made a mistake on step 4 while trying to disconnect the cord from the motherboard. By pushing too hard, i’ve unsoldered from the motherboard the black item the cord plugs into. Do you think it can be soldered back by a professional ? If not, can it be replaced ? Thanks in advance,

Hey, I replaced the battery is a new one, but when I plug it in the orange light starts flashing but the laptop does start and when I plug in the charger it keeps flashing. Don’t know what the problem is. It did work without a battery for a while because I had to order it, can someone help?
