Q: Macbook White (late 2010) battery bulge
I took out my macbook white at the weekend to find that battery appears to have exploded through the trackpad. I purchased this late 2010 and it was still working fine (had no issues with battery)
Googling seems to suggest that this is a known fault, however, like an issue I had with a previous iMac (another known fault) I seem to have missed the window for repairs (though I doubt this can be repaired) - has anyone ever seen this happen with a Macbook before? Seems rather dangerous, this was placed on a carpet so could easily have set the house on fire had the laptop been plugged in...
I previously had to replace the back cover of the laptop (another known issue) when that bulged so not sure whether I still have serial number now as serial number would have been on the reverse of the old cover.
MacBook (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)
