[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1568681, member: 56379"] We really have next to no idea what you did while you were in there…so it's really hard to say what happened. But it is pretty safe to say that the problem has nothing to do with the battery itself (they're not really that sensitive). For starters…computers are very sensitive to static electricity…so that could have been a problem. Secondly…the VERY first thing that should have been done once getting inside of the computer was to disconnect the battery (stray voltage from the battery can damage things if it is not disconnected right away). Thirdly…maybe the problem is simply that something wasn't connected properly when putting it back together. There are also a lot of very fragile connectors & plugs on the logic board that can be damaged if someone isn't very careful. Lastly. If someone is or isn't an experienced computer repair person…I would always recommend using the procedures from ifixit.com. I have taken apart a lot of Macintosh computers (laptops & desktops) and I always use these procedures (just in case)…so I don't make any disassembly or assembly mistakes. - Nick [/QUOTE]
