I took my MacBook Pro in for a battery replacement and got the same thing. They replaced the keyboard, logic board, and battery all for $300. I was told though that my computer was manufactured in a narrow window of time where the battery and logic board and top plate were all fused together in some way that they had to be replaced together. In other words, depending on when your computer was made your mileage may vary.
- kalleboo 10y agoI paid for battery replacement on my 2012 MBPr (the first generation) and got the top case replaced free because "they changed the design of the battery and it wouldn't fit in the old top case" edit: mandatory bitching about people who put Apple on a pedestal - AppleCare only covers the battery up to 1000 cycles. Mine was at 1080 cycles. Time to open the wallet.
- pfranz 10y agoEhh, that's still better than what used to happen when they had removable batteries. Back then it was 300 charge cycles and I constantly had batteries that would give service errors well below that, but because they were over a year old they were out of warranty. I'm glad to hear the 1000 cycle internal batteries are doing much, much better.
- DrScump 10y agoSo, they replaced recalled components and a battery and charged you $300? Am I missing something, or did you pay $300 for a battery replacement you may or may not have needed and recall rework you should have received (one would think) for free?
