Chosen Solution
I have this MacBook Pro and early on I trashed the keyboard with a tiny bit of water on it while it was running. Since I have not replaced the entire upper case to replace the keyboard. Now there is a keyboard available for the machine, which I have purchased and now have to hand. But, the instructions for replacement of upper case indicate a special pentalobe screw driver. I can buy that as well but I am wondering if there are different sizes of pentalobe drivers for different models. I have three Macbook Pro 15” machines. One has a battery cover so doesn’t need the driver to remove the battery.
Over the years Apple has altered the design of the 15” MacBook Pro’s. As an example this is the very first version!
Here’s a picture of the 2010 model
And lastly here’s the current 15” MacBook Pro
Each series has a very different configuration internally. So what does that have to do with the battery and the screws that hold it? You’ll need to review each series you own to see what tools are needed to figure out which Torx driver will be needed or just breakdown and get a full set of bits within a took kit.
