Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Our MacBook Pro, purchased in New York June 2011, has appeared to have imploded upwards, case and mousepad area only, overnight. We've read on the community of other almost similar experiences and wonder if this is a common experience?
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
No, it's not common.
The battery has probably expanded, turn it off and take it to an Apple Store. There was a recall by Sony on those batteries, but it's probably over by now.
Batteries can and have expanded when they are old and their useful life is over. More often than not, there will be a warning generated in the battery display in the menu bar or in System Information>Power. You may use a #00 Phillips driver and take off the bottom of the MBP and take out the battery.
Ciao.
