[QUOTE="SJP, post: 1075069, member: 154751"] Hi everyone I bought a second hand mint condition 15" MBP 2.4GHz a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly ... until the battery stopped holding a charge. Had to then start running it off the mains. Stopped using it for a few days because I was doing other stuff and then returned to it yesterday to see the battery "swollen" and the trackpad causing all sorts of problems. Couldn't use it as a laptop at all, so I borrowed a USB kb and mouse to get around it. Have now decided not to use it until it's fixed. Have since done some Googling and it appears this is a well known issue with various MBP's. However, I can't seem to load the Apple website (or any pages therein) to find any support numbers or walk-in stores. Laptop was purchased in Aug 2008 - does that mean the battery is still covered under warranty? And what are my chances of having the trackpad fixed? Does someone have a list of numbers? Am based in Surrey - any local stores or approved warranty repair centres? Thanks for your help. SJP [/QUOTE]
