Can the battery be replaced?
My 16” MacBook Pro will no longer charge the battery, nor will it run under power from the power supply (power supply is fine - works on other computers).
Battery is now depleted and I need to recover files from the internal drive. I suspect that the logic board will need to be replaced, which means my internal drive is gone. So, before that is done, I’m wondering if the depleted battery can be replaced with a fully charged one, to allow time to transfer files to an external drive.
Any thoughts? I have an appointment scheduled with an Apple Repair shop in a few days.
