I took my MBP (early 2015) in for a battery swap, told the “genius” that I’d installed a 3rd party SSD, he said there was no problem with that, but fast forward to today and I have been informed that my repair will cost $999 because of the 3rd party SSD and unspecified damage related to that SSD. Interesting, because there was nothing wrong with it when I took it in.
Can I just pop in the old SSD and take it back to Apple for the repair, or will they refuse to do it because of this supposed “damage” caused by a SSD which has absolutely nothing to do with the battery? Really fed up with Apple right now since it’s 1.5 hours to the store one way.
Or do I need to DIY this battery repair? Looks like OWC sells kits for <$100.
