I love my MacBook Pro to death, but I seriously think it's out to get me. As you all may know, I got it back on Monday after some trauma occurred to the logic board and MagSafe port. I was gone all of Tuesday and part of Wednesday (yesterday) and my MBP was on, closed, and running on battery the whole time. I didn't plug it in because we get freak storms and I wouldn't be able to unplug it.
ANYWAY, it was still at about 79% when I opened it to use it after returning. I let the battery get to about 50 something percent before charging it back up yesterday. It took about three hours for the battery to get that low.
This morning I woke up and unplugged my MBP. I use it in my bed ALL of the time in the morning. However, after about three minutes, it got so hot to the touch that it nearly burned me. I took it and let it cool down on my desk for about 45 minutes before taking it down to my living room. There, I noticed that about every 2-3 minutes, even with energy-saving settings, that I would lose a percent or two of my battery. Also, it would always say that I had about 2 hours and thirty minutes remaining, and it was pretty close to being right! It was off by maybe 30 minutes to an hour.
I figured I should calibrate the battery just because it was about time for that anyway. I used it until it was super low, then closed it and let it sit for five or six hours. I am now charging it again.
It feels warm now, especially on the upper left side of my keyboard and over the function keys closer to the left. It's on a flat surface and is quickly getting hotter.
The CPU is running temperatures between 80 and 85 degrees Celsius.
The battery has been through 20 cycles.
Full charge capacity is 5582.
I'm running OS X 10.6.4.
What's going on?
EDIT: I can also hear and fan running. It's not loud, especially when compared to my old windows notebooks. However, its louder than I've ever heard it before.
