MacBook swollen battery: the signs to recognise

MacBook swollen battery: replacement at the IC Computer Services workshop

  • Trackpad that lifts or clicks poorly: often the first sign.
  • Casing that bulges, lid that no longer lies flat.
  • Screen coming loose or keyboard sticking out.
  • Abnormal heat around the battery.
  • Battery life that collapses and a service message.

A lithium battery that swells cannot be repaired: it is replaced.

What to do right away

  • Switch off the MacBook and unplug the charger.
  • Do not recharge it and do not use it any more.
  • Do not try to puncture, crush or open the battery.
  • Put it on a hard surface, away from flammable materials, and bring it in as soon as possible.

If you smell a chemical odour or the device gets hot for no reason, keep it away from people and objects.

What we do at the workshop

  1. Free diagnosis and check of the battery condition.
  2. Battery replacement: see battery repair.
  3. Check of the trackpad and casing, sometimes damaged by the swelling.
  4. Charging test before the device is handed back.

Before you come to the workshop: what to know

For a quick diagnosis, bring the MacBook switched off, with its charger. Note since when the trackpad or casing has been deforming and whether the device has already been opened elsewhere. These details help us target the fault from the start.

If you have important files, tell us: a swollen battery does not damage data, but do not try to switch the device on.

Can’t come right away? Write to us on WhatsApp with a photo and a short description: we tell you whether it is worth coming in. The diagnosis remains free and carries no obligation, and the price is confirmed before any repair. Our workshop is in Schaerbeek and welcomes customers from Brussels and the neighbouring municipalities.

A MacBook with a swollen battery must be handled without delay. If your MacBook with a swollen battery has already deformed the trackpad, report it. When a MacBook with a swollen battery is used for too long, the deformation gets worse.
