I’m taking Apple’s Self Service Repair for a spin. (I’ve sourced parts and service manuals in… less official ways in the past.) The experience is okay so far, except that they reserved 16,543.32 kr (roughly $1,482) on my debit card should I take the rented tools and run. 🫠 So, it’s not for everyone.

@sod You need to set up a repair shop to cover that. I wonder if they had done it at all hadn’t it been for iFixit.

@rom Battery replacement. But I haven't done the actual repair yet; I'm still waiting for the battery kit and tools.

@sod interesting. let us know how it goes please. :)
