[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1390375, member: 56379"] Ok good deal.:) Some folks are scared to death to open up their computers. But with a good DIY procedure (like the iFixit link you posted)...and some patience & confidence...you should be able to do it.:) As far as the battery compatibility...here is what iFixit.com lists: [url=http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Unibody-Mid-2009-2010-Battery/IF161-057]MacBook Pro 15" Unibody (Mid 2009/2010) Battery (661-5476, 661-5211) - iFixit[/url] [url=http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Unibody-Early-2011-Late-2011-Battery/IF161-081]MacBook Pro 15" Unibody (Early 2011/Late 2011) Battery (661-5844) - iFixit[/url] According to the photos the batteries look VERY similar...but the product codes & Apple part numbers are different. So it's hard to say if a battery from a 2011 15" MBP will fit in a 2010 15" MBP. I'm not sure what's up on your end (if you happen to have a 2011 15" MBP battery just laying around)...or if you need to buy a battery. If you need to buy a battery...buy the exact replacement listed above.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
