Hi guys, Great work you are doing with the website! Always great fun to watch the new teardowns :) Question: I don´t see any spare parts for the hardware piece of the battery indicator, with those green leds? Can you provide one, or tell me where to find it? Thanks! Michiel
I found out why my battery led indicators were malfunctioning. The button on the outside to activate the led indicators comes back out after pushing because of a circular piece of black foam. In my MacBook, this foam was worn out. I replaced it with pieces of new foam that I cut from an adhesive band with foam (that one uses to diminish draft through windows). Quite a hassle, but the indicators work fine again. If you need directions let me know.
Check bay, that’s where I had to buy mine. It was around $30 shipped. Just make sure it’s for your model, as mine is for the 2008 15" mbp. Couldn’t find it on here or anywhere but eBay.
