Hi there. I bought a Macbook Pro 2013 Retina 13” in 2013 (late). It has been and is still a reliable Macbook. It doesn’t get used for much but I do need it. A few months back I noticed the keyboard area beginning to bulge upwards and the keyboard alloy shell is deforming upwards. It still is working fine. I keep it on power all the time and rarely take it away from the power to use it for portability. Bulge is becoming more pronounced over time.
My suspicion is the nearly 10 year old battery is expanding and pushing up the chassis from beneath the keyboard. I see some online DIY battery replacement procedures and I’ve done many other Macbook Air, Pro batteries before - but the Retina seems more complex, though not overly daunting for my relevant experience in doing these tasks. I could give it a go. Naturally I have backups all in order in the event of a disaster. Has anyone here done a 2013 MBP Retina 13” battery change - or would Apple even touch it? Comments please.
