Do you think it's still worth to push Apple for a free repair? How long does it take for them to do the job? Obviously it's a big discomfort to be without your own laptop for a long period of time. I put my serial number and my mac doesn't seem to qualify. I read that the problem is very common for this model and that Apple for a few years replaced the battery and the parts damaged by the swelling for free. Do you think it's a clear sign of battery swelling? Maybe I've been lucky not to screw the back cover because probably the swelling (and the pressure) would have had impact on the upper case and the touch pad. I probably could if I apply some pressure but I guess that I would damage the battery (even more). I recently removed the case to do some cleaning and noticed that I'm not able to close the back cover. I put the cover back without using the screws (the mac is inside a case so it was protected). A few months ago I opened my macbook pro 13 inch early 2015 to install a different SSD.
