Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro?

Where can I buy a genuine apple replacement battery (A1309) for my Mid 2010 17" Macbook Pro? There are used batteries on ebay that don't appear genuine. There are some third-party knock offs. The apple store seems to believe they can replace it, but I have to make a reservation at the silly Genius Bar just to have them tell me how much it's gonna cost, not to mention then likely wait for them to order the battery and install it. I'm perfectly capable of installing it myself. I just need to know where I can order it?
Thanks,
Andrew

Yeah, that's what I've finally decided. I was kidna super frustrated because the first apple store I called wouldn't even tell me a price or tell me if they could replace the battery without a Genius Bar appointment, and as I would have to take off work and drive acros town--and I don't have a car so I'd have to borrow one--that was pretty annoying. That call left me pricing linux laptops. I called another store to see if I'd have better luck, and the initial answer was the same, but the girl relented under some trying-to-be-nice-but-clearly-annoyed pressure, and she gave me the answers I needed: yes, they should have the battery in stock and it should be a same-day replacement that should cost $179.
It just *****, really, because there's so much about Apple that I used to love, and I'm watching it kinda melt away under their success in the mobile market. As a professional user, there's less and less reason to stick with them. Instead of being the best they can be, I feel like they're just trying to be flashier and just a little better than the other mediocre computer companies. Ugh. Anyway, now I'm ranting.

  • Where can I buy a genuine Apple replacement battery A1280

    As above, where can I buy a genuine A1280 replacement battery for my Macbook Aluminium Unibody late 2008 5.1 notebook? Is it worth buying from a Battery UK company off the internet, or Amazon or eBay? (Have read various negative comments about using a non-Apple replacement).
    If not where can I find a suitable one? I am in the UK.  Thanks Anne

    Hi,
    Go to this page
    http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/power
    Find the battery you want and the address of your nearest Apple Dealer or buy online.
    good luck,

    Hi,
    The right part number for the hard drive kit is 681976-001. The support website for the laptop is on HP Sweden so run the part number on google.co.uk (or your Swedish). I have found the cheapest on us amazon for $38 or £42.

  • Hi i recently bought 8gb of ram and installed it in my mid 2010 13' macbook pro, but whenever i start my computer it freezes at the apple sign in the startup. I just put back my default 4gb of ram back into my computer and it runs fine. Any suggestions?

    jamiesfromportland, greetings:  I do not take issue with your very valid reasons for purchasing RAM from Apple.  However by recommending not to purchase RAM from third party vendors I would suggest is unfounded advice.  Most of the problems that occur with third party RAM are attributable to the lack of adherence to the required specifications, viz. this post.
    I would be willing to wager that purchasing RAM from reputable vendors such as OWC or Crucial one would find similar fail/success ratios as those purchased from Apple.  In both cases this assumes that the specifications are adhered to.
    I have always purchased RAM upgrades from third party vendors with no performance issues.  True that I do so to save money but I do not skimp on quality.
    Ciao.

  • Can the new iMac be used as a display for my mid 2010 MBP?

    I am considering buying a 2011 iMac and was wondering if the new iMac can be used as a display for my mid 2010 MBP.

  • Where can i buy a genuine iPad 4 replacement screen?

    help please!

    Do you want to replace the screen yourself, or get the screen repaired?
    The standard 1-year Apple Care warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship, not damage due to accidents.
    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th generation
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

  • Tried everything to fix my A-TV problem reading Wifi network; Where can I check if my Apple TV is eligible for replacement?

    I have a 3rd generation Apple TV that I am convinced to be one of the defective ones which Apple is replacing since they will not read a Wifi network (more on this below). I live in a very remote country at the moment as well so going to an Apple Store is not an option. I would like to try and get this replaced but it seems the only way I can talk to someone at Apple is to buy a one-time service plan for $19.99. Does anyone know if I can confirm in some other way that my Apple TV is indeed defective and initiate the replacement process? (or to confirm that it is not covered and that my problem is elsewhere). I've seen some screenshots with serial numbers that are covered but I don't see on those threads how to request the replacement.
    To ensure my Apple TV is indeed defective I have followed all the guidance in dozens of threads on this forum including: (1) reset, restored, and restarted Apple TV dozens of times (2) updated Apple TV software via a USB connection to iTunes (3) ensured my home network has disabled MAC filtering (4) updated my router's firmware (5) ensured iPhone, iPad, other devices can connect the the wireless network which my Apple TV can not see (6) tried different chanels (frequencies on my wifi router) and turned off all other devices that may cause interference (7) tried disabling security on my wifi router (8) tried setting up my home wifi directly from a wifi router and then using my standard set-up which is router to time capsule and TC generating the wifi network. Despite all these efforts, my Apple TV can not see a single wifi network (and (9) using "other" to manually enter the network also doesn't work). The A-TV works fine with a cable connection. This leads me to believe I have a defective Apple TV. Any other repair suggestions are welcome!
    For reference, my SN is C1MHCRT9DRHN

    I tried, but they want to charge me $19.99 to ask this simple question... And there doesn't seem to be any email address where I can ask by email.

  • Where can I buy a used apple laptop

    Hello!
    My 12 year old son is saving up to purchase an apple laptop / MacBook. But making money at his age isn't that easy. So I suggested maybe looking into a used / refurbished MacBook. Does anyone know if this is something that can be purchased through Apple? If not, where can we start looking?
    Thanks!
    Stef

    Take a look at MegaMacs http://www.megamacs.com/
    Be aware though that they offer different "grades" of refurbs, some are much more used than others.

  • Where can I get hold of a replacement mains cable for a Mac Book?

    It looks like we have somehow misplaced the mains cable for my Dad's MacBook. The big question where could I get hold of a replacement one ? I have looked on Apple's website but unless I am either blind or daft I can't see one. The only thing I can think of of is to drive to my nearest Apple store (some 60 miles away) which I don't want to if I can help it. Any ideas?
    for what it is worth I live in Bradford West Yorkshire England
    Thanks

    Problem now solved. It was found in a completely stupid place.

  • How much RAM can I put in my mid 2010 17" MacBook Pro?

    Hello-
    I'd like to upgrade my memory. Would anyone happen to know how much RAM (the max amount) I can place into my mid 2010 MacBook Pro 17"?
    Thanks-

    8 GB.
    Purchase memory from OWC / MacSales or Crucial. There may be other vendors of reliable Mac RAM but those are the only two I have used and can recommend.
