Hello guys,
This morning my MBP did something I've never seen. It powered itself on when I raised the screen. Then I got the "running on low power" warning. Yet the rating on the top right corner said I was near 100%. I used the laptop for a few minutes. Then it should off.
So I plugged the MBP back in. The battery reading quickly read 100%. I have now unplugged the laptop. Battery power reading is still 100%. I know it was fully charged last night before I shut it off. Had it fully charged and using it plugged in for about an hour before I went to bed.
What gives? Is the battery near dead? Seems it can't hold a charge. And the dot charge light indicator on the cable (where it attaches to the MBP) is looking orange and not red as usual...or has it always been an orange color...thought it would be red when charging and green when done.
