Half a year later, now out of warranty, I finally figure out that it's not the monitor but the MBP and I had to pay for a new logic board! But, Apple didn't record my visit to the Genius Bar on that visit and said the MBP was fine and the issue was in my monitor. The prior issue I had was video glitches that started in warranty.
Macbook pro 2015 new battery windows#
I've owned many Windows laptops and while I've had a few issues with them I've never had any issues as big as the ones I've had with my Apple. This is the second big crap my MBP has had since buying it new. It will make your laptop run almost twice as long as with your current old battery. It has 99.5 Wh capacity, which is the highest capacity available for this model of MacBook Pro.
Hopefully they'll see this for what it really is, a defective product that's happening to a fair number of users and do the right thing for once! This MacBook Pro 15' 2015 replacement battery is what you need to bring your laptop back to life. I have an appointment at the genius bar this Thursday to see what they say. Mine is now well out of warranty so I hope Apple doesn't gouge me too much to fix their defective battery or that they cover it 100%. When I started telling him the issue he stopped me mid-sentence and finished my description of the issue.
Macbook pro 2015 new battery full#
Not common enough for Apple to have a full recall like with the iPhone batteries (also swelling) but often enough that he's heard about many cases of this. I checked with one of my many friends who work at Apple and they said that it's almost certainly due to a swollen battery and that it's actually a pretty common issue. The cursor still moves with the track pad but I can't select with it. Where I would normally feel the "click" when pressed there was no movement or click. A couple of weeks later I pull it out and, just as stated by cakequin my trackpad buttons won't work at all. I recently used it somewhere else and then left it in my padded travel case. I almost always have my Mid-2015 15-inch MBP plugged in while I use it. User, "cakequin" started the topic, " MacBook Pro Mid 2015 bulging battery twice!" and there were no replies. I found this exact same topic in another question but Apple has locked the post since it hasn't had any replies (what a stupid thing for Apple to do, but then again, this is Apple we're talking about).
