Screwdriver For Macbook Pro 17 A1297 Battery

Hi;  I need to replace a keyboard in a Mackbook Pro 17 Inch 2.8Ghz, its a A1297 model (Mid 2009). 
The battery is held in by 3 x Tri Wing Screws and there appears to be some confusion around the net regarding what size Tri Wing Screws are in this model?
Can someone confirm what screwdriver, (Tri Wing?) what size, and where from?
Thanks

  • The normal value of battery capacity for macbook pro

    Hi there,
         I noticed my battery full charge capacity value is way below the technical specification from Apple.
    For macbook pro 15" early 2011 version a 77.5W battery is built-in.
    However, so far after 4 cycle, my full charge capacity is 6913mAh.
    It seems that I missed something. Though I didn't really notice the initial value when it's brandnew.
         Statistically what's the average value of the new battery will be ? around 75W or 7500mAh? Any idea?

  • Macbook pro late 2010 battery at 24 cycles for 15 weeks computer and capacity is already 93%, anything wrong?

    macbook pro late 2010 battery at 24 cycles for 15 weeks computer and capacity is already 93%, anything wrong?

    How many cycles depends on how often you drain the battery down low and then recharge it to maximum, ideally use it a little less on battery and a bit more on mains and the cycle count will slow down. Every couple of months you need to re-calibrate the Battery for best long term results.

  • Should i go for macbook pro 13" or air 13"

    hey guys, now that i've been new macbook pro has come out light, thinner and with extra 4GB RAM, i just do not know if i should get macbook air or pro.
    I am a college student where power ports are readily available in my campus. so battery life of 7~8 hours and up are totally fine.
    Pros for macbook pro are:
    BEAUTIFUL screen
    better CPU & GPU (even though there may only be slight difference)
    Good palm rest
    Pros for macbook air are:
    LIGHT AND THIN
    EXTREMELY GOOD battery life
    I have seen many reviews where they said difference in size and weight is  negligible for a person with healthy body (lol) but also CPU and GPU difference are also negligible since it doesn't differ very much in terms of performance.
    I do not know if those are true, but regardless, i wanted to get some advices from people who owns pro, air or even both.
    Thanks in advance guys !
    ps. i heard apple might come up with RETINA displace macbook air in late 2014 or early 2015. is it trust able?

    Yes, you should be able to dual boot Windows 7 and above using a built-in utility called 'Bootcamp'. I personally has boot camped Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Installing Windows only took about 10 minutes (lightning fast) and all the drivers installed correctly. Windows has never looked better =D
    However, I will report one issue. In OS X Mavericks, you can use multi-touch gestures to interact with the system, for example two-finger scrolling, or pinch-to-zoom. In Windows, these multitouch gestures do not work on the trackpad at all. For me it was frustrating, and I ended up deleting Windows simply because of the fact that multi-touch is not supported by Windows. However, basic trackpad functions work, for example tracking, right-clicking, and dragging windows.
    All other drivers are fully functional. If you need any assistance with Bootcamp, visit the Apple Support website, or just post in this same forum and I will be glad to help you.

  • My macbook pro has service battery, what could happen if i upgrade the ram to 8gb

    My macbook pro has service battery, what could happen if i upgrade the ram to 8gb

    "Service Battery" means just that - you need to make an appointment with your local Apple Store or AASP and have the battery checked out and, likely, replaced.
    If you upgrade to 8GB it will have no effect on the battery. 8GB is sort of the minimum that I would shoot for.

  • MacBook Pro late 2011 Battery Performance drop dramatically

    MacBook Pro late 2011 Battery Performance drop dramatically
    9 months 94 cycles and its health is now at 89%

    Does the system still run off the battery only? Does it run for a few hours off the battery only? Then No it is not defective and no Apple will do nothing for you and No Applecare does not cover Consumable items which the battery is one of those.
    The only time Apple MAY, and that is BIG MAY, replace the battery is within the first year and only if Apple Deems the battery to be defective. Fat chance of that as long as the system runs off the battery for any length of time.

  • Kernal_task is taking up 300% CPU on my macbook pro while on battery

    Kernal_task is taking up 300% CPU on my macbook pro while on battery, but goes back to normal while it's plugged into power source.  Battery life is still normal.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I just received my MBP Retina yesterday. I have not installed anything and the system is running so slow that when I type the text on the display is lagging behind my typing. Scrolling, app switching, etc. are all either choppy or I have to wait. Activity monitor shows kernal_task %CPU jumping between 500% to over 600% with 83 threads and about 675MB real memory. The fan is on continously, does not matter if it's plugged in or on the battery. NOT A GOOD FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE FOR ME.

  • What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012

    What's the power Adapter for Macbook pro 13inch Mid 2012 with core i-7, 2.9ghz, 8Gb ram?
    AFAIK it should be a 60wat Megasafe power adapter.
    But mine shipped with a 45Watt Megasafe. I got it as a Gift from my friend.
    Thanks in Advance.

    This should be my Adapter right?
    Yes.
    There is a drawback in addition to taking a longer time to charge up your MBP.  In unusual instances when using your MBP with power adapter attached, and running a very heavy load on the CPU/GPU, the MBP will require additional electrical resources in addition to what the power adapter can provide.  It will then draw upon the battery.  What this means is that using a 45 watt adapter, these conditions are more likely to occur.
    Using a 45 watt adapter should not harm your MBP as such.

  • I bought the wrong version as I need it for macbook pro but somehow bought windows...help

    I guess I will have to wait until normal office hours.  I have no idea why it bought the window version as I did not realize that is what was selected.  I hope I can get it exchanged for the photoshop elements 13 for macbook pro retina display.     Anyone know if this is an easy switch and one they will do?

    When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes, though. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.

  • Macbook pro mid 2011 battery lasting only 3 hours

    How can I get my brand new Macbook pro mid 2011 battery to last longer, now it's lasting only 3 hours.

    Do not believe the advertised specs from any manufacturer regarding battery life.  In the real world expect about 60% to 70% of those figures.  Battery life is influenced by many factors,  Among these are display brightness, the number and type of applications you are running, if the optical drive is used, external devices that may be attached etc.
    3 hours seems a bit low but not necessarily out of line.  Go to SYSTEM PROFILER>POWER and see what it says by 'Condition'.  If it is other than 'normal' you may have battery issues (Explanations then can be found in FINDER>HELP).

  • How can I know if my new internal hd for macbook pro is compatible?

    I have been trying to upgrade my internal HD for macbook pro early 2008 2.4 and have been having a hard time getting it to boot.  Problems with both WD and Seagate.  I am wondering if the problem is with Mavericks.  I got a good back up from Time Machine to load on the hybrid drive.  Then when I try to restart it shows the apply symbol with no chime and then a black screen comes over the blue screen with some code (strange problem I have never seen) I can see that all the data is on the drive.  I was able to partitian in disk utility.  Anything ringing a bell.  I have done several switches like this and this is the first time I have had so much trouble.  I reinstalled my old drive just to make sure there was not another hardward issue and everything is fine there.  In fact I have a new logic board freshly installed by mac. 

    Your machine has a SATA 2 interface and I'm sure the new drives are SATA 3. They should still step down and work though. It's possible your SATA cable is marginal and the newer drive is trying to demand more out of it than the old one did. A good test would be to put the new drive in an external enclosure and see if it works ok from there. If so, it's probably the cable.

    How did you install Mavericks on the new drive?

    toshiba 1.tb and 7200 RPM ?
    Those are same as use by Apple in the non-retina macbook Pro, Ive got piles of them, only a Hitachi is better.
    Toshiba HD are a hair noisy even by Toshiba own admission, but no big deal.
    I would NEVER buy from OWC merely for the reasons that their prices are miserable.
