I have a MacBook Pro, that I use daily. It is my main computer where I have all my data. It is the computer I use to program Neperos :)

It still has it's original battery, but some days ago, the battery got swollen.

Now the lid does not close properly

due to the Trackpad ...

The battery, that is located under the TrackPad has swelled

Here is the MacBook Pro opened

Clearly the battery is the problem

I purchased on amazon a new battery, that luckily arrived with the screwdrivers.

and very easily replaced the old battery with the new one

The MacBook Pro is now fixed :)

Here some pictures of the original Apple's battery from 2011
