alan p Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 My sister has a MacBook OS X and it wouldn't work properly so she tried to factory reset but that hasn't worked, I tried turning it on but the battery was flat so plugged it in managed to sign in but that's all it would do I also noticed the mouse pad had lifted on one side so asked if it had been dropped but it hasn't, I unplugged it when it had reached full charge and tried again but it still wasn't working correctly so switched it off till this morning and then found that the mouse pad had lifted further and the outer case had swollen in places. It didn't feel to hot at anytime but it must have been inside the computer. Does anyone know if its repairable or if its not worth bothering with? Thanks for any info. Alan.

Fogey Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Just take it to Apple in Meadowhall. Do not mess about with it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan p Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 Thank you both for getting back to me. I wouldn't try fixing it myself the link you gave me to look at swarfendor43 was really informative. Do you think its worth having the battery replaced? Thanks again. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarfendor437 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I'd do as Fogey advised - that thread also mentioned the danger of messing with those batteries - hopefully they will give you a free quote on cost of repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan p Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Thank you MoZaLaN for the offer, I would be able to change the battery myself and I would never stick needles into a battery its the same as putting them in a freezer anyone doing these things must have something missing up stairs. I'm staying at my sisters in Mosborough and my son mention a company in Killamarsh so I have sent them email asking if its worth fixing and a idea of the price. Would like to say thank you all for the advice and help given. Alan. Edited June 4, 2017 by alan p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarfendor437 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hi, I gave the link as an indication as to the problem - should have added more than just the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
