HT2424 where can I get a replacement a1185 macbook battery

Where can I buy a good replacement a1185 MacBook battery?  Thanks...

You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

Or for $129 from The Apple Store  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA566LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
I've bought used MacBooks off of eBay for my family, seven of them so far over the last 4 years. I've bought 8 batteries off of eBay sellers, just going with the cheapest. Only had one with a problem, it gave out after 6 cycles. That one was replaced under the warranty by the seller. The only other batteries that have been a problem were Apple branded batteries that started bulging. I've had two of those happen.
Apple doesn’t make any batteries. They buy them from the same manufacturers that the third party sellers are buying from. The only difference is that Apple has their logo imprinted on the battery.

    To transfer your current hard drive I like the applications Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. They make a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive. http://www.bombich.com/index.html or http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html 
    You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

    where can i get a replacement woofer for an ipodhifi model a1121

    Some items come up in a search for Mac parts UK; whether or not they have
    an exact part match for any vintage product has not been searched...
    Most that I have looked into, show any battery "out of stock" &/or listed "used."
    A good electronics shop with an understanding of how these batteries are wired
    in their case (and any controller chip circuitry) should be able to install new cells
    inside the case; however opening these may present a problem if done forcefully.
    http://www.thebookyard.com/
    http://www.applemacparts.co.uk/store/index.php
    http://www.theappleshack.co.uk/
    In the US, wegenermedia.com, powerbookmedic.com, & others may know of stock.
    So far, I'd struck out searching; could be one may need to contact long standing
    Apple specialists & those who repair vintage models, to get refurbished batteries.
    Perhaps there is a message board or User Group site where one could try & contact
    Apple users; of those some may know of a source, or an individual capable of repair
    since these battery units have been refurbished before with new rechargeable cells.
    Sorry to not be of exact help in this matter.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Where can I get a replacement keyboard?

    The keyboard on my Mom's eMac is dying. She needs a new one, and it has to have a USB port that she can plug the mouse into because all the computer USB ports are taken. She is running OS 10.3.9. The keyboards Apple is currently selling are no good because they require OS 10.4.10 or later. The third party keyboards I've seen either have no USB port or leave out stuff like page up and page down keys.
    So, where can I get a fully functional keyboard for the eMac OS 10.3.9 that has a USB port?

    Hi! THIS and THIS site have some keyboards and then there's eBay. Tom

  • Where can I get a replacement USB port for the Xperia Tablet Z1

    Where would I get a replacement USB port component for my Tablet Z - I am OK replacing it myself as I've already stripped the unit down and replaced a broken screen. I looked at the existing part and it doesn't look repairable - looks like the connector "tongue" has come away from the circuit board.
    Google hasn't thrown up any good leads. Do Sony sell these parts?
    TIA
