    Parts for mac book 13 inch

    I am trying to fix my little sis MacBook 13 it had a hard drive failure and the battery has been shot for awhile. The part numbers that I have gotten off the parts are Hard drive MHY2160BH and Battery S-K43AT83288RE. The hard drive is only a 160 GB I would like to upgrade the drive and find a good battery for it so she does not have to keep it on the charger all the time for the kids. This is the first time I have worked on a Mac so any help on were to find good quality parts or should I go to Apple I just did not want to spend that dough but I hear that the aftermarket parts are jut not that reliable?

    Any help would be great
    Steve

    For parts that are not Apple specific such as hard drives and memory then certainly stay away from purchasing from Apple....3rd party components are a 1/3rd of the price if not more, and there is nothing special about the hard drive in a MacBook. I'm not so sure about batteries and the like...you may be better off going to Apple or a recognised Reseller. Check out http://www.ifixit.com for excellent teardown guides and videos of Apple products.
