had mine for almost 2 years however it started dying on me without warning this past few weeks. noticed last night that the battery expanded so i removed it. unfortunately, its no longer covered by the apple recall which ended last May. aside from store.apple.com, what local store would you recommend to get a replacement? can the battery still be repaired? thanks.
Best to get a replacement at Digital Walker, they still had batteries for the older MBPs last I peeked. Once it gets like that, refurbishing the battery gets a bit more tricky.
I know you mentioned it, but I recommend you try ordering directly from Apple: http://store.apple.com/ph Hassle free and delivered straight to your doorstep.
