this is misleading and lying. You made me buy a $50 battery I don't need because you said to buy the ifixit battery. The 15-ce198wm uses a different battery. Unacceptable.
Hi, Christian, I'm really sorry for my mistake. When I wrote it, I was just trying to get the assignment done for my class. I never thought that people would actually follow my guide. Seeing the image of my battery and the battery linked, I can clearly see the mistake I made, as the models don't match. I'm not sure what iFixit's policies are, but I hope you can get a refund. Again, I'm really sorry for my oversight, and I will be fixing this guide so it doesn't happen again.
Fantastic instructions with pictures. I’ve never seen the inside of my laptop before. After viewing your instructions, it gave me the confidence to complete the install. Thank you!!!
