MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2009) Issues
Internal Battery
Summary: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) contains an internal-only battery that is serviceable by Apple-
authorized service providers only. Tamper-proof screws are employed to prevent customers from attempting
to remove it. The battery must be disconnected when performing any internal service on this product, to
avoid damage to the battery and/or the internal components. Battery removal is only required when replacing
the following components:
battery
trackpad
left speaker
microphone
MagSafe board
center bracket
logic board
top case
In most other repairs, the battery cable must be disconnected, but the battery and its screws remain in place.
Note: Unlike previous MacBook Pro models, there is no access door on the bottom of this model. Rather, the
entire bottom case is removed to gain access to the battery and other internal components.
WARNING: Because the battery is internal and connected to the logic board by a cable, it MUST BE
DISCONNECTED before performing service procedures. If you fail to do so, live current from the battery
will short circuit the components and render the logic board and/or LVDS cable unusable.
Tip: Every time you remove the bottom case, disconnect the battery cable from the logic board before doing
anything else inside.
