[QUOTE="rgdm917, post: 1575327, member: 323630"] I was dusting out the inside of my MacBook Pro today when I discovered that the plastic brackets for the tri-wing screws holding the battery to the aluminum body were broken, allowing the battery to be removed without the use of a tri-wing screwdriver. (Picture [URL="http://i.imgur.com/8swxllE.jpg"]here [/URL]and how it should look [URL="http://i.imgur.com/prsFtnO.jpg"]here[/URL]) Is this a problem that I should be concerned with? Will the battery still be relatively stable just being held in by the Unibody metal screw brackets that hold the bottom removable panel to the main body? (I'm talking about these things [URL="http://i.imgur.com/P5pL2p6.jpg"]here [/URL]and [URL="http://i.imgur.com/ScHtlqR.jpg"]here[/URL]) If not, would it be appropriate to repair the battery brackets with some type of superglue or plastic cement, or should I look into buying a new battery?
