I need to change the battery it is very expensive in India, I also understand that we should change the case is it possible to do it myself? I also understand there is procedure that we can change the battery without the case, since I ’m from India I will request one of my friends who is coming from U.S to purchase a battery for me from your outlet. I’m also equally annoyed by their backup procedure with i Cloud which is quite expensive, I have my own spare Hard Disk I need a procedure to dispense off iCloud permanently and a link from my spare hard disc to draw from my backup. Kindly guide me please. Narayanan Lakshmanan India
First, LOL. IFixit ships worldwide. You need to swap the case? or not? You are confusing me. A battery is pretty straight forward in the guides here. On stopping using icloud I cannot help you here.
Narayanan - You don’t need to replace the uppercase if the battery only needs to be replaced. But! If you don’t follow the guide correctly you can damage the keyboard if the solvent gets into the keyboard. If you think your keyboard is having issues you might want to let Apple fix your system. The Apple Stores only replace the uppercase for either failure. So… If you have bad keys there’s a good chance you’ll get both fixed for Free!

Have your friend take it out before flying back and he needs to hand carry the battery onboard in the box.
