I tried the wire method on one before and it worked well, but took FOREVER to get through. It felt riskier than the spudger method to me, so I never did it again.
I was just always afraid that because of the inherent angle of me pulling the wire towards the battery that I would end up pulling the wire into the battery and slicing into it. I don’t know how easy it is for a wire to slice into a battery casing, I assume it’s somewhat hard, but I wasn’t trying to find out
I ended up getting somewhat decent at these battery swaps though. There was a time where I could do it in like 20 minutes or so.
The worst part was when someone needed a trackpad replacement haha. It wasn’t common but when it happened it was like so do you want a new battery? because I’m gonna have to do all this pain in the ass shit anyway
