That worked out pretty well :D
Took it in Thursday late afternoon. Got a call Saturday lunchtime to say it was ready to collect.
Collected it this afternoon and besides replacing the battery and top case, they replaced the screen too as it failed midway through repair.
Not bad at all!
I'll hope for 2 days but expect longer then. :) Would have thought it's a decent sized store (Cardiff one) and they've kept the part specifically for when I return.
Ahh, if only I could! No rest for the wicked/part time carer, unfortunately. But I will endeavour to enjoy the enforced time off work. :)
The quote on my invoice stated £360ish :eek: Although, I'm not paying anything!

No problems getting the battery replaced for free but it's going to take 3-5 days which is a bit of a problem for my work. Taking it back in a week or two once I rearrange my work a little but it's going to have...
Can't see me being that lucky :p Amazing customer service there though!

I've got a feeling I might make a mess of that :D
I've dealt with Apple support online and they agreed that the battery is almost certainly defective, but they can't guarantee the store will be able to replace it on the day. Going to get an appointment sorted for next week and hope I can sort...
Tried that the first time I got the service battery warning, but it returned a few days later :/
It is, but the 'service battery' alert is coming up independently of that/part of MacOS. I just used Coconut to see further details.
Oops :D Only ever opened one MBP (my last one) to swap out the HD and RAM. That went a bit more smoothly ;)
Looking at your stats, yup, mine is definitely a bit of a mess then :(
