iFixit replacement battery is rejected by X1 Carbon gen2 chassis as not-genuine/unauthorized. Is there some additional step to getting the battery to be recognized/allowed? Something in the BIOS? Or is the battery faulty?

Hi,

Great guide. I found that my screw heads were a bit stripped and the #0 driver was too small and bounced too much. The #1 driver worked better for me. Thanks for promoting the repair revolution! - MiLo
