I found it interesting, however, that even though I had a reservation, AppleCare in Austin had no visibility into the Apple retail store inventory - so I could have arrived and there’d be no replacement battery on hand.
Saturday morning, the battery replacement went smoothly. (Park Meadows Mall, Lone Tree, Colorado) Even before we hung up, I had received an e-mail, reserving me a time with an Apple genius to replace the battery. That policy has paid off handsomely for me.) After I explained the situation, the Apple rep said, matter-of-factly, that I had a “swollen battery” and asked me for the location of my closest Apple store.

Last week, when I moved the MBP, I noticed that the cover plate was ajar and couldn’t be closed properly - one of the latches just couldn’t catch. I didn’t recall that defect before, but I didn’t have time to worry about it very much. From time to time, I unplug all the connectors and take the MBP to another room to write in a comfortable recliner.Ībout six weeks ago, I noticed that the 2-inch wide cover plate over the battery was slightly ajar.

My TMO workstation has my MacBook Pro connected to some external hard disks (Time Machine) and an older 23-inch Cinema display - with a DisplayPort to DVI connector. I was introduced, for the first time, to the swollen MacBook battery syndrome. It got steadily worse to the point where the cover plate would no longer close properly. If your machine is part of the recall and you have had the battery replaced, you must carry the repair/replacement certificate that the Apple service centre issues to you.About six weeks ago, I noticed that the cover plate on my 15-inch MacBook Pro (Unibody, 1G) was bulging.

You can find the serial number of your MacBook Pro listed in the ‘About This Mac’ page. If it does say the above, you need to enter your machine’s serial number on Apple’s support page.

If there are any reported incidents with these laptops, this may escalate into a full ban (like there was for the ill-fated Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and the continuing ban on e-scooters and hoverboards). At the moment it is just a notification and a request – not a ban. This is what prompted even India’s DGCA to send out a message on Aug 26, requesting passengers not to fly with the affected models of MacBook Pro. They are all closely watching the issue and issuing advisories to airports and airlines. Several aviation authorities around the world have followed suit. (Image: Facebook/Steven Gagne) The issue snowballed On June 10, the US FAA ( Federal Aviation Administration) issued alerts, reminding passengers that recalled batteries in these specific MacBook Pro laptops ‘do not fly’. According to Apple, “in a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro units, the battery may overheat and pose a fire safety risk.” Banned models include 15-inch MacBook Pros from 2015 sold between September 2015 and February 2017.
How did MacBook Pro enter the fray? The issue started when Apple issued a recall on their website in June this year.
