![]() One has a bomb which one is it? Thats the conundrum! Sadly, its more complex than that! >Any< MacBook will be suspect! Think of it this way I've got three exact boxes that are physically the same in every way. Just to be 1000000% sure, does that actually make any difference? ![]() But for all the other trips when I will need my laptop.Īny idea if there is any difference between the laptop being turned off vs being on? Does it still pose a risk when it's off? I mean, in my case, it shouldn't pose any risk since it's not one of the damaged batteries. Nonetheless, you made some very good points here. I can't keep my Mac at home all the time from now on! :)) Apple won't replace my battery if it's not one of the damaged or potentially risky ones.ģ. So.this is not the case, because there is no need for a repair in my case.Ģ. "If a product that is dangerous goods or that contains a dangerous goods component (e.g., battery) is subject to a safety recall related to the dangerous goods, it must not be carried aboard an aircraft or in baggage unless the recalled product/component has been replaced or repaired or otherwise made safe per manufacturer/vendor instructions." the system is ok and it's been checked on Apple's website. I’m sure the EU will follow the FAA rules they tend too.ġ. Air Transport Restrictions for Recalled Lithium Batteries and Lithium Battery Powered Devices.So if you get to the line and they refuse to allow you to take your system what are you going to do? You can’t check it all they will do it throw it into a barrel and off it goes to the landfill or to one of the TSA recycle centers so you won’t know if someone else gets your system Yikes!ĭon’t forget its not just leaving its also your return! Different airport, different staff.Įven if you have a friend wait until your plain takes off do you have someone at the other end able to do the same? And can you get it to them in time so you don’t miss your plane if they stop you? Then they will need to ship it by ground to meet up with you, which will likely take a good week. As all MacBook Pro’s look alike the bagage checker won’t know which is OK and which are not! ![]() I would leave the system at home given you are traveling so soon. ![]() What I can tell you is the battery your system has is dated around when the system was made so its most likely the original battery.Īs the rule of travel has just been issued its too soon to tell what’s happing at the gate and each carrier (and in some cases airport) manage their own plane of inspection so what is OK for one may not be OK for the others. Is there a way to check, based on that, if the battery is ok or not? Some serial number, some Device Name…and stuff like that. So, my question is: is there a way to tell if the battery inside the machine is genuine? I went to About This Mac -> System Report -> Power, and there is a bunch of information in there. But again, I don’t know how long did the previous owner have it for, or if he replaced the battery. When I bought it, it had about 30 charging cycles. And I don’t know (I don’t think so…but again, I can’t possibly know for sure) if the battery has been replaced or not. The thing is that I bought this machine second-hand. In other words, my particular machine is not affected by the issue. Now, I’ve already checked my serial number here and it came back negative. Unfortunately, as you probably heard, this generation seems to have some battery issues, which determined Apple to start a recall program. So about 3 years ago, I bought a 15” mid-2015 Retina MBP and had absolutely no issues with it. ![]()
