If you're using a Mac laptop and suddenly the trackpad doesn't work, doesn't respond, or you can't press it, it might be out of order.
There are many possible reasons why the trackpad cannot be pressed, but the expansion of the battery is especially common.
Mac before switching to the aluminum body has a part that can be turned with a coin and turn the body over, but I was able to replace the battery by myself, mac of aluminum body because the battery has become built-in, If you want to replace the battery, it is necessary to disassemble.
By the way, this model is MacBookPro 15 inches, but the repair price when I replaced the battery with Apple was 12800 yen.
The repair price as a battery replacement is not expensive at all, but if you have the following symptoms, I think that a change will appear in the estimate, so please check the contents below.
Do you notice that something is different from the usual by looking at the image above?
The correct answer is that the trackpad is exciting.
It is not easy to see this state, but you can not click the trackpad when it comes to this state.
If the cause is said first, the trackpad has been pushed out by the expansion of the battery.
Please confirm it because it disassembles it below.
It becomes a state that only opened the back of the Mac, but it is a state in which the battery is seen from the side.
The right side of the battery is relatively calm, but I think you can see that it is swollen to the left side.
In short, the truckpad has jumped out because the battery has expanded, so as a repair, it is necessary to change the battery.
It is a state in which the battery was seen from an angle, but it is hard to understand if you do not see it from the side after all.
The battery is removed from the Mac itself, but you can see that it is clearly inflated.
The battery replacement of the MacBook Pro is not difficult to repair, so there are quite a few people who do it themselves.
Advantages and disadvantages of asking Apple to replace the battery
If it is a place to think as a repair destination when the Mac breaks down, it is Apple Store, but there are advantages and disadvantages.
Benefits, of course, come to reliability.
The repair price is not expensive by any means when thinking only by the battery replacement, but there is a disadvantage, too.
The disadvantage of manufacturer repair is the elimination of data.
I don't think it's a problem at all if you're usually backed up using Time Machine, but if you're not backing up your data and you don't know how to do it, be careful.
In addition, not only the expansion of the battery as in this image, even if the trackpad is not broken if the trackpad is up, there is a possibility that it will be a trackpad replacement, so it may take more repair costs than estimated.
Summary
Because the laptop of the Mac of the aluminum body has a built-in battery, it is difficult to confirm that the battery is expanding from the appearance.
As a sign of battery expansion, if the icon with the upper right corner of the desktop has a notation such as "battery replacement repair" appeared, it seems better to replace it as soon as possible.
Even if there is a notation "battery replacement repair", it can be used for the time being, but if you use a Mac as it is, it is conceivable that it will lead to other failures to gradually expand the battery internally.
So is my battery okay?If you think that, i recommend that you see it at the nearest PC repair shop or consult with the Apple Store.
