I have a Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro that is now out of AppleCare warranty. In the past few weeks I've noticed it won't sit flat on a table and the trackpad is hard to click. Went to the Apple store and they opened the case and confirmed that the batteries are swollen (photo).
They said the repair costs the equivalent of 620 USD, which of course is way too expensive for me. They said to call Apple and tell them about the issue, they may get me an exception if I'm nice and tell them how much I like Apple products.
Has anyone had luck getting free out of warranty battery replacements in a case like this? I just want to know my chances.
Thanks!
