Battery came in today. I never want to change the battery again.

Unscrewing and prying everything off wasn't a problem. Stiff battery wires weren't a problem. The ribbon cable door broke when I went to lift it off. Not much of a problem. That got reattached with scotch tape. Why they put a piece of plastic over the ribbon cable switch connection I have no idea. Nor why the long flimsy arm is there next to said connection it just gets in the way and makes it harder than it should.

All of that paled in comparison to sliding in the final inch to half inch of screen/motherboard. It kept getting stuck somewhere in the case towards the bottom. Kept sliding the board out and pushing back in and nothing. I eventually got it in and lo and behold the buttons don't work. Yay. Slide it back out and the ribbon cable was at a slight angle in the connection. Pushed the door up to re sit cable and pop goes the door. Hooray. Taped it back on made sure the buttons worked which they did this time and shoved it back down again. Again gets stuck. Again pull out. Wiggle it back down and nothing stuck again. This time I stuck the spudger in the bottom part of the case and pried up slightly. Bingo was his nameoh! Board slid down and I popped everything on then remembered the L shape pieces from the top. Took off the top stuck the L things on
re attached everything and finally I was done.

None of the videos I saw mentioned getting stuck when sliding back down into the case nor the solution. Just that bit of information would've saved me the headache of trying to put it bac together.
