Hello, I have one of these Macbooks. I got it wet and the screen and power stopped working. I opened it up and unplugged and re-plugged in the display and that works. Only problem is that the battery connector board is corroded and may need replacing as the Macbook only works with the charger in and holds at 56-58% charge and then turns off when the charger in unplugged. I may also need a whole new battery set. If they aren’t for sale, where would the best place be to get them from (in the UK preferably) Thanks
In fact, iFixit has the top case+keyboard+trackpad+battery assembly in stock right now, for $525. PowerBookMedic.com has several elements of the 13" Retina battery system available. Similar to iFixit, the battery is not cheap: Battery Bridge Board (I think this is roughly what you mean by “power connector”. If so, it’s a lot cheaper than a replacement battery, which you probably also need) Battery Mounting Bracket Late 2013-Mid 2014 Retina Top case w/Battery Once we’ve found a retailer carrying the part, we can use the Apple part number we find there (Apple #661-8154) to search for additional options: NewEgg/used - $379 This vendor does not mention a battery, but the photo of the item clearly includes the battery. commandMacParts.com - $156-257 used New assemblies ( both from eBay and from online retailers) appear to be coming from Chinese vendors at prices ranging from US$600 on up. I have located one vendor who carries used A1502 battery assemblies without the top case - http://www.dvwarehouse.com/A1493-Laptop-….
Are you sure this is 2013 and not the 2012 model? What does it say on the bottom, A1502 or A1425? If A1425, you can’t be missing “THE SCREW.” If you are missing “THE SCREW”, you are &&^&@@ because you will not find it for sale anywhere.
