Hey,

So not very happy with Apples customer service regarding my Early 2011 Macbook Pro. I won't explain all the details but while I was in London training for a new job I had them look at it because of how it grinds to a halt when playing videos and the like (had a lot of gfx problems & 2 logic board replacements). It also had a bulging battery which I had removed at Apple Support place.

They didn't care about the battery and wanted £100 for that and they reinstalled OSX and said it's now working fine. It doesn't seem fine but whatever I will just just use it for DJing as it seems to be OK with that.

I need to get a new battery. If Apple want £100 that seems excessive. Can I buy an official one anywhere else and fit it myself or do I just have to suck it up, get it replaced and never buy another Apple product again.

You would think. It swell up so much that it pushed the track pad in. It's not like I left it to get like that either, it was an over night thing.

Gah £100 for a battery is ridiculous but if it's what I must do guess I have to suck it up.
