[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1548498, member: 56379"] I'll answer two of these questions: Yes. On newer "Unibody" MacBook Pro's...the battery is technically not supposed to be user removable (like on older models). Yes you do need to remove the bottom cover (same thing needs to be done to do ram upgrades). AND you need a tri-wing screwdriver to remove the battery. That oval hole near the optical drive is for a security cable (keep the computer from being stolen in a more public access area). AFAIK...it is not the hole to eject the optical drive. - Nick [/QUOTE]
