So... I have no idea why this is happening?
A week or so ago, I was plugging in a firewire cable into my MBP, and after simply touching it, my computer instantly shut down.
I had zero clue what happened, especially since I literally touched it to the firewire port.
I turned my computer on, and it appeared to be working fine, except for one thing.
The battery monitor on the top right of the Finder was the battery icon with a simple X in the middle of it. I knew what this meant (happened to my mom's last generation MAcBook), that the battery wasn't working anymore. Curious, I pulled the Power cable form my laptop, and weirdly enough, my computer didn't turn off, so my battery must of been working fine. I restarted my computer, and the dead battery icon went away, and was replaced by the charging battery icon.
But, this is what it looks like now, and it makes absolutely no sense to me.
Any ideas on how to fix/if it needs to be fixed.
Also, why would my computer shut down after being touched in the firewire port. I've tried it again, and my computer hasn't reacted in that way either.
