Macbook pro 2010 battery question

I have the mid 2010 macbook pro 15 and 17 inch. Was there a battery update for these machines?

Hi Drew,
All updates should be listed i Software Update in the Apple menu. I recommend you run whatever is listed there.

    My Macbook pro 2010 battery life is 0% and not charging now. Where can I buy the original battery to change?

    Hi Shi,
    iFixit.com is one place; this is for a 15". You don't say what size you have. http://www.ifixit.com/Store/Parts/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Unibody-Mid-2009-2010-Batt ery/IF161-057
    Also, just google 2010 MacBook Pro battery and you'll find more on eBay, etc.
    Note that this is a built in battery and requires proper installation.

  • Macbook Pro 2010 SSD Question

    Hello,
    I've been thinking off adding a little better speed to my macbook pro 2010. It's not slow as ive upped the 4gb memory to 8gb which has made a good difference however I still want to add a bit extra under the hood.
    I have contemplated getting the new macbook pro but if the ssd speeds things up then I may as well get a 500gb SSD.
    I heard that you cannot use a SATA III is this correct or can I use one of those in a macbook pro 2010?
    your advice and help would be much appreciated
    Thanks
    Mark

    the Samsung EVO says the following;
    Interface: SATA 6Gb/s (compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 1.5Gb/s)
    I'm guessing this means it should be okay?
    Thanks

  • Macbook pro 2011 battery question.

    I got a macbook pro 2011, and I'm charging, draining and recharging the battery daily, i have the mac for almost 2 months and i have 75 cycles complete and the battery is on 92%, i want to know if I'm doing a good work charging the battery the way I'm doing it, or do i need to use another method, i work daily with this macbook pro in design, thanks in advance for the answer.

    Honestly, I think you're cycling your battery a little too much. Apple recommends that you cycle your battery 2-3 times a week. So this means
    2 months = 8 weeks
    8 x 3 (cycles) = 24.
    You should have roughly 24 cycles for the duration that you've had the computer, 75 is a little much for 2 months, don't you think?
    I would strongly suggest cycling the battery only 2-3 times a week. Also, only do a FULL discharge every month. You should make the change NOW before you permanently damage your battery. I have the 2.3 2011 Hi res 15 inch MBP.

  • Late 2013 macbook pro retina battery question

    I just bought the new macbook pro retina 2013 (first macbook!) I wanted to know what I can do to extend the life of the battery. Right know, I start charging the battery once it gets to about 60%. I keep the charger plugged in when im at home and left the battery discharge at uni. Would doing this having any advatange or disadvantage for the battery?
    Also once the battery reaches 100%, would it overcharge if it is kept plugged in? or would it just start to use the power from the adapter instead of the battery
    Anyother tips?
    Thanks

    Look at these links.  They will provide you with all the information you need regarding MBP
    batteries:
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
    csupinski is 100% correct, the OS will not allow the MBP battery to be overcharged.
    Ciao.

  • Macbook pro 2010 battery status dropped?

    I to all, my macbook pro battery has dropped in a week. i need to change or there is system to restore?

    Option click the battery icon in the menu bar.
    If it says replace or service, replace the battery.
    Otherwise try to reset SMC.

  • Can I or Apple replace my Macbook Pro (2010) battery?

    I was simply acknowledging that on the open market there are no new batteries to be found, only used. Next time try keeping a civil finger on the reply button . No one is attacking you.
    It sure seemed like you were. Otherwise you might of Replied to the OP with "That's right Have Apple do it as there are no New batteries available other then from Apple and they won't sell it to you directly with doing the replacement". Instead of replying to me.
    Thanks.

  • Upgrade Ram, HD to SDD and New Battery for Macbook pro 2010 i7 15". (with price).

    Hi, i want to upgrade my Ram, Hard Disk and Battery of Macbook pro 2010 Model with i7 processor and 15" display.
    My current configuration:
    Ram: 2GB + 2GB (original with mbp purchase)
    Hard Disk: 500 GB (250 GB full)
    Battery: Cycles - 669 and Health - 87 % (As show by istat)
    New configuration I want:
    Ram: 8 Gb best of all (what to do with the previous 2GB + 2GB Ram)
    SSD:Minimum 128 Gb ( what to do with previous 500 GB

    I ignored the (with price) part. Sorry.
    Crucial m4 512GB SSD - from Amazon - $389.99.
    Crucial m4 256GB SSD - from Amazon - $203.84.
    Crucial m4 128GB SSD - from Amazon - $112.87.
    Crucial 8GB RAM for 2010 15" MacBook Pro - from Crucial - $47.99.
    What to do with your old RAM? Just trash it or label it and put it in an anti-static bag and put it in your 'parts' drawer. Or trash it. Or give it away. It's not worth anything.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • My macbook pro 2010 extremely noisy and a warning flashed on the screen about a power or battery issue- can you help please?

    My macbook pro 2010 has started getting extremely noisy in the last few months and I had a strange warning flash up on the screen a month or so ago about a power or battery issue… can you help please?

    Calibrating a 2010 MBP is not required.  All it will achieve is putting an unnecessary cycle on it and shortening its life:

    You may try a SMC reset:

  • I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

    I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

    If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at  the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade.  Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
    If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
    The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
    Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
    If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
    Just some thoughts.

  • Macbook Pro 2010 - Charger light, Dim green.

    Hey there Fruit Geniuses.
    My current situation is that of my Macbook Pro 2010 not getting a charge from my Magsafe after the laptop fell connected on to the charge corner from maybe 1/2 meter to a carpet floor.
    The chargers light on the L keeps a green DIM light, and my laptop doesnt not recognise the charger at all.
    The charger itself is about a year and 3 months old as my previous got the freid wires last time.that, 
    What im wondering is, is it my charger thats went bust ( and should a third party replacement ) be okay thing to buy.
    Or is my DC inboard went funny. As i can replace this as iv tore my macs logic board out before all pretty easy to me.
    (macbook still worked after before its battery died completely as i turned it back on to make sure my reconnecting of the board worked.)
    but since then it has no power, Kapoot.SO, do i order a new DC inboard connection, But a third party charger as £70 AGAIN im not willing.

    Yeah been trying to find someone with a macbook and charger to test out for a week or two now to try eliminate which it is, so i know which to buy. Both to me are as easy as one another but just so i dont go buying one when its the other.
    Hopeufully someone soon will have one, Fingers crossed.
    Thank, Ogel.

  • Macbook pro 2010 (mid) not working

    Hey everyone,
    My macbook pro 2010 mid does not turn on anymore because I spilled a drink all over the keyboard and I do not want to pay to repair it. In addition, it also had display problems as well like white and black screens. I tried using the "Power On" program for apple and it says that my laptop is not worth anything but I am able to recycle it for free... I was wondering if my macbook pro is still worth something since I have the battery and memory in it still

    Looks like that the speaker may be blown.
    Have you checked the Audio MIDI setup?
        Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

    You have to take the Mac to the Apple store as soon as possible.
    Best.
