3 years ago I replaced my laptop battery and it's still going strong - everyone told me I was crazy to DIY it
Back in 2021 my old Dell started dying after 20 minutes off the charger. Every post I read said to just buy a new laptop because the battery replacement was too risky. But I watched a 10 minute video, spent $45 on a battery from eBay, and it took me 12 minutes. Three years later that same laptop runs fine for 4 hours now. People act like opening up a laptop is brain surgery but it's really just unsnapping a connector and 4 screws. Has anyone else had success ignoring the "just buy new" crowd?

Get yourself a cheap plastic spudger and a magnetic tray, those two things make any laptop repair way less stressful. Also check your model on YouTube first, some designs are way trickier than others.
