Apple recalled old MacBook Pro models due to defective batteries. The batteries of all MacBooks manufactured between 2015 and 2017 must be replaced. The old ones heat up too quickly and the heat could damage the laptop. In extreme cases there is even a risk of fire. Therefore, all buyers are asked to register the serial number of their devices on the manufacturer's website. This means users can immediately check whether the problem exists with their model or not.
Apple MacBook Pro buyers can order a new battery
The company emphasized that it was only the model with a 15-inch screen. It is not clear how many laptops were sold during this period. If you need to replace your battery with a new one, you should contact the manufacturer. It is also important to copy all the data on the MacBook and thenthe deviceturn off completely. Apple assured that the batteries are currently being replaced within three weeks.
Other models also had to be repaired last year
This is not the first time that Apple has noticed problems with the batteries of its devices. The batteries of all MacBooks Pro with 13-inch screens were replaced a year ago. This was followed by free repairs of the keyboards and then the company wanted to replace the hard drives of some models. Shortly afterwards, users reported problems with the screen lighting on the 13-inch screens. At that time, Apple spoke out and assured that only a small proportion of the devices sold were affected.
While all other matters were described as repairs, in this case it is a matter of replacement. The difference is that the replacement is really necessary, otherwise in the worst case scenario the laptop could be damaged.
