with new batteries.
Phone them and see if they will still

I took the same model into AppleCentre Perth when it no longer started
up.
After testing, they politely declared it dead. 😵💫
I removed the back to remove the SSD and the batteries aren’t all in
one block and are glued in. Mine is of no real value to me so contact
me privately if you’d like to make use of it. Batteries are not
swollen, and have a little life in them.
I live in Beverley.

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.
Thanks in advance
Peter Crisp.
