The ultimate screwdriver kitīy the way, if you’re into taking things apart I recommend you get a kit that has adapters for all the Torx, Philipps and other types of screws out there.
#Macbook pro late 2013 15 inch charger upgrade
I ordered the drive at the european reseller of OWC and went for the option without the upgrade – I’m still pondering what to do with the old drive.

The upgrade kit contains the two screwdrivers you’ll need to open the MacBook Pro and to unscrew the drive as well as an external case that can be used to hold the old drive. You can get the drive with or without upgrade kit. The replacement drive is 3,5 times faster in terms of read/write speed and this does make a significant difference in the day-to-day use. In this case the motivation was not so much to get more storage (although that’s a nice side-effect and you can get up to 2 TB of storage) but to get a faster speed. There are a few options out there, I went with the OWC Aura 1 TB drive which goes for 271,90 EUR (excluding VAT). The latest upgrade I’ve done is to replace the original SSD drive. Even if the old keyboard was still working properly, getting a brand new keyboard in the process was nice. Interestingly, since the battery is glued in some ways to the top case, that also meant getting a new keyboard (you cannot just replace the battery). I got the replacement at the Apple Store in Vienna and it cost 209 EUR. The second upgrade I’ve done last year was to get a battery replacement as the battery life kept on declining after a few years of use. I only put data on it that I don’t need all the time to be able to do this without having any side-effects.
Sure, you loose the access to the SD drive, but it is possible to get the drive out when necessary. Make sure to get one that is designed for your model if you plan on doing the same. The first upgrade I’ve done was to extend the storage by getting a permanent SD card and use it as additional drive like this one. Using the SD card slot for more storage SD Card storage extension I’ve done a few upgrades to my MacBook Pro since I bought it and which have helped me to still stay satisfied with it.

It can for example drive my 38″ Dell UltraSharp monitor at full resolution (3840×1600 60 Hz). it still works after almost 6 years and is still powerful enough for the bulk of my work (thanks to some upgrades – more on this later).There’s a few reasons why I’m still clinging on to this model and don’t feel any need to upgrade to a later model: The main reason that’s possible is because there are still a few ways to upgrade this Apple computer. Of all the Apple computers – and other computers – I’ve owned, the MacBook Pro Late 2013 is the one I’ve been able to keep the longest so far.
I’ve started using Apple computers in 2008.
Update: it is now February 2022 and I’m still using the MacBook Pro Late 2013 after having changed the thermal paste for the CPU and GPU By the way, once a few months ago, the charger got really hot and did not work at all until it cooled down a little.Update: it is now June 2021 and I’m still using the MacBook Pro Late 2013 It probably is the charger, but it might as well be a problem with the device itself, and I cannot just buy another charger to try it since they are expensive. The complicated things are: I live in Greece (no apple stores), so i cannot just go to the genius bar to get it checked. Tried cleaning the MagSafe, turning it upside down, warming up the charger a little, still nothing.

I read on the internet multiple suggestions and tried most of them (its dead so I can not do anything software related). Tried removing the long cable and using the short one but still nothing. As far as I can remember, before it died it did not show "Not charging" instead of the battery percentage or anything. No light at all and of course no charging. (MacBook Pro late 2013, 15" 2.3 GHz, 16 GB ram etc) Today, my battery went down to 3% and I connected it to its charger but it does not do anything. Well, I'm having a problem with my laptop.
