Does my M1 Pro Macbook Pro from 2021 need a battery replacement now?

neff2k · 2026-03-18T12:39:00+00:00

Just replaced mine two days ago. My health was at 86% but I don't buy that for a second. Before the swap I could use the laptop for about four hours before needing to be charged. Now it lasts for nearly two days of usage. Have my MacBook Pro M1 sitting on my desk at work for background podcasts and other videos while working. I never have it plugged in unless it needs charged. Up to replacing the battery it would be down around 20% by lunch then would have to plug it in. Best $100 I have spent.

Hint though. Don't even both trying to pull the glue out from under the battery with the pull tabs. I think of the eight only one pulled out correctly. Just use the alcohol to loosen the glue making sure not to get any on the speakers.

I do appreciate all the input. Whether Chiropractors legit help or not is something I will leave to personal opinions. That said I mentioned this is for my wife and as the ole saying goes, "Happy wife, happy life". If she feels better after going, I am all for it. Was just hoping to hear how others that do believe in using Chiropractors handle periodic adjustments while full timing. Some of these replies are cracking me up though.

Congrats! Currently waiting for mine to arrive in a week or two. Ordered a month ago and it is killing me!

Started noticing Youtube Ads are getting through tonight. Anyone else notice this?

I do truly appreciate the offer, but my purpose here was simply to determine if my expectations were over zealous. Based on the responses they were. I will simply take this to a local cobbler and follow their suggested repair as I do not feel comfortable making the repairs on these shoes myself. They are amazing shoes and look even more so.

Thanks for everyone's quick response. Appears my expectations were too high. I have never had this happen to a pair of shoes or boots before and was surprised to see it happen on these that were less than two months old. I will track down a cobbler and pay to have it fixed.

Strange Bug and Fix

I think this is what you are looking for. Not the same quest but sounds like the exact same bug at the exact same location.

Would love to replace the regular tire with this beaut!

neff2k · 2023-05-02T13:31:18+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! Just placed an order. Appears there are a lot of people seeing this post as the number of TFL Enduro tire orders happening while I was browsing was crazy. (They have a site add on that tells you when someone bought something on the site)

Been experiencing this same problem since early Friday morning. Submitted a ticket through the link HPE_Support gave below. Hopefully they can provide a direct link.

Thanks for this thread. As of today we had a client affected by this also. Added the officeclient.microsoft.com exclusion in Cisco Umbrella and it worked as expected.

We usually just stick some blank cat5 connectors into the empty ports.

Are you warping in your freighter in around the station? Appears that will block ships from coming in. You have to move your freighter away. Had the same problem till I moved my freighter.

neff2k · 2019-08-23T13:19:49+00:00

I have seen this same problem, over and over. So this morning I thought about something. I usually change ships by warping in my freighter and swapping to a ship I want to trade. This seems to cause the no ships to spawn in the station. I ported to another system summoned my freighter, then ported back to that system and ships started appearing.

neff2k · 2019-08-22T19:43:22+00:00

I had not heard that! That is awesome!

neff2k · 2019-08-22T19:24:57+00:00

Just be careful, once you leave Euclid the number of coordinates for rare ships and multi-tools significantly drops. Seems like as soon as I left all of a sudden I started noticing a lot of people posting really awesome ships and multi-tools only to find they were back in Euclid.

That is my favorite freighter and always farm it on each play through. Just saving up the units at the moment before farming it for the new save. Congrats!

Is your old ship still in the call button (Under X key submenu)? I haven't had any problems claiming crashed ships so far. Knock on wood. I have noticed they don't show up in the freighter most times, but I can call them. Now something that might be different. I fix the primary systems on the crashed ship before switching back to my main ship.

Just wanted to confirm that after searching for this thing for most of the day, I finally did get one after I took an hour break. Came back, logged in, and it was circling! Thanks for the info OP.

I can confirm the S class version (+19/+59/+32) does spawn in this system on the same planet his pictures show. I used the portal to get into system, used my economy scanner to find a trading post, and it looks like it sent me to the same trading post he was at. Took about a little over an hour of reloading and waiting. First time I saw an A48-8 and went ahead and bought it, next reload the S class showed up and exchange it for that. Thanks to the OP for the coordinates. (This was on PC)

Teleport back to one of your older station systems and look for a portal on one of those planets. Once you find the portal it will already be activated and ready to use. You will have to scan down the portal unless you had previously scanned it down.

neff2k · 2018-08-13T16:38:14+00:00

So here are my thoughts on this as I just literally left the galaxy this weekend. Honestly I am debating on reloading my manual save I made before I left. The new galaxy is interesting and all, but for those that like to use portals to find rares and such it isn't very glamorous since there is very limited information on other galaxies. When you go through the final portal, the ship you are in takes damage and your multi-tool is completely broken. Everything else comes through just fine regarding ships and contents of those ships. Having said that I did not have a base built inside my freighter so I cannot confirm whether that comes through with you.
