Hello! You can look at newegg com, amazon.com or ebay.com. That's where you can get a bunch of great used parts!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I replaced the battery following your instructions. The only thing I did differently is that I couldn't get the plug out with the battery still screwed down, so I unscrewed the battery then unplugged it. After unplugging, then I held down the power key for a few seconds to discharge before plugging in the new battery and screwing it down. My computer will be like new now! Blessings to all of you at IFixIt!

I bought my new replacement battery from the store at IFixIt.com.

After I've ''discharged any leftover power" by holding the power button down. What do I do ? Do I leave it until the laptop turns off by itself ? Or do I hold down the power button to force shutdown ?
