MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Early 2011 Battery Replacement

20 minutes

Moderate

My Problem

My MacBook battery began to fail and expanded to the point of temporarily deforming the aluminum near the trackpad.

My Fix

Using the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit, I followed the instructions in the step-by-step guide. The battery charged in a few hours and proceeded to work fine.

My Advice

In the event that the battery swells, remove the screws from the case closest to the failing section of the battery. Use a flat tool to carefully help the battery case out of the machine if the swelling is enough to deform the case.
