Step 1

              Remove the remaining adhesive

If there’s any alcohol remaining from battery removal, use a lint-free cloth to wipe it up or allow the alcohol to dry off before installing new adhesive.
Before performing this repair, ensure the display cable is tucked in its space under the motherboard. If the cable is sticking out, the new adhesive won’t be able to lay completely flat.
Use tweezers to remove all of the old adhesive from the battery’s recess.
