![]() MBP, Unibody G1, replaceable battery, $129 (Credit: Apple, Inc) This was serious, even though the battery continued to function. 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. In place, the power cord tends to stay connected all the time. 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. About six weeks ago, I noticed that the cover plate on my 15-inch MacBook Pro (Unibody, 1G) was bulging.
