(I think that was only fairly early models) If not, I think I'd go for Apple. 2016-08-30T20:30:16+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1350#6314 Robin Samways info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Mick, I'd have to unscrew the back to find out! its a mid 2009 model! 2016-08-31T10:07:45+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1350#6315 Euan Williams info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Hi Robin, you may be aware of all this, but for anyone else... MacTracker: The MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) also included the integrated battery introduced with the MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009) Apple References: MacBookPro5,5 Model Number A1278 iFixit https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2009+Battery+Replacement/1332 Replacement Battery (there are other sources): https://eustore.ifixit.com/en/Parts/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-13-Unibody-Mid-2009-Mid-2010-Early-2011-Late-2011-Mid-2012-Battery-New.html Screws: Tri-wing screw heads need an (easily available) driver. General tips for anyone: The screws are tiny, so always use the correct screw drivers; work on a towel so that the tiny screws don't roll off the table; don't work over bare boards! Use an egg box to put the screws in as you extract them and number the order for reassembly. 2016-08-31T20:40:27+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1350#6317 Robin Samways info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Thanks Euan 2016-09-05T16:19:50+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1350#6332 Lionel Ogden info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ When you have figured out how to do it, you may find that amazon could supply a replacement at moderate cost. 2016-09-07T14:58:22+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1350#6333 Robin Samways info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ thanks lionel 2016-09-07T19:19:48+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1350#6334 Lionel Ogden info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ another source for batteries for laptops cameras etc.which I have used for camera batteries is global batteries.co.uk 2016-09-22T20:33:45+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/1350#6356 Robin Samways info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ thanks Lionel, went for a Lavolta battery from Amazon, 2 screwdrivers included, fitted in just over 5 minutes, working fine!
