This is common knowledge for every tinker savvy tech nerd. Bottom line is, if you open your device, you better know what you’re doing and be ready to fix it in the future or pay for it to get fixed, or be ready for a long battle. The practice isn’t legal, but you might have a hard time convincing the reps that. It’s common practice, anyone with basic tinkering knowledge should know. I don’t need to prove myself because the sub is deciding to circlejerk on Apple. When it comes to things that actually provide power to the device, however, it is a lot more likely to occur and I have even seen pictures (and taken calls from them when I was an AppleCare Senior Advisor who took Safety calls) where a third party power adapter or battery has caused the device to combust. In some cases, such as RAM or maybe even a hard drive replacement, this is highly unlikely. It's worth noting that Apple will replace the battery on more MacBooks than they will replace the logic board on, even going so far as to replace the battery on some Vintage products.Īs a very, VERY general rule, Apple will deny service (and legally can) if an unauthorized modification or repair causes further damage to the device. It happens way more than you would think, and it's worth it to just pay to have Apple replace the battery. Using any sort of third party parts in the power circuit will prevent any Apple covered repairs because there really isn't any way to prove that the battery (or power adapter, in some cases) didn't cause that issue.
