Since not all 13-inch Pros without Touch Bar are affected (other and older models aren't prone to the same component failure) you'll first have to make sure you're covered under the program. Cupertino said it's not a safety issue, but if you can get the replacement at no cost, it'll probably be best to take advantage of the offer. Unlike its battery replacement for iPhone 6 or newer models that'll set you back $29, though, Apple will swap your MacBook Pro battery for free. Just earlier this month, the company announced a similar program for 42mm Series 2 Watches, since their batteries also have the tendency to swell. A 'limited number' of its base Pro laptops are prone to a component failure - it didn't mention which component, only that the devices' built-in batteries will swell if it malfunctions. The tech giant has launched a battery replacement program for 13-inch MacBook Pros without Touch Bar manufactured between October 2016 and October 2017. I wish you luck, I'm so sorry the stars just weren't in alignment here.It hasn't been that long since the iPhone battery fiasco, but Apple already has another battery issue to deal with. You may end up needing to write to big Tim with your documentation to prove you had no choice in the matter!

You'll likely get a dozen no's before you get a yes! Its worth doing as I'm sure they will charge you an arm and a leg to fix your system. Now the hard part! I'm sure they won't honor the warranty, What you'll need to do is push up the food chain to get so someone to authorize the repairs and/or offer a rebate for the costs.

That way you have something to stand-on when you go to Apple to get the battery replaced and if your system has further damage it too will be covered under a warranty exception. Also document the quarantine restrictions as well. Take a copy of your Apple incident report and if you haven't take some pictures with a newspaper or other dated matter in the picture so you have proof of your pictures timepoint. Once the quarantine is lifted take your system and the battery to an authorized Apple repair shop.

Don't throw it away hopefully you didn't mark it up badly. Keep the battery outside in a metal bucket of sand away from anything flammable. Otgonbayar - What can I say, you are in a difficult place.
