I have a mac book that has been having battery issues. My mac will only stay on while plugged into power.
I bought a replacement battery on buy.com:
Laptop Battery For Apple Macbook 13"" A1185 A1181 5600mAh White
Brand New
After installing the replacement battery, my battery indicator / power cable flips between two states:
The battery has a bolt and my power adapter goes orange.
&
The battery has the plugged in indicated and my power adapter goes green.
For the second situation (battery with plug / adapter goes green) if I unplug in the power my mac still shuts off.
It appears to me that the battery is at 71% which seems to be accurate with the battery indicator (4 out of 5 lights are lit).
After looking online I have already tried the usual suspects: resetting the PRAM, SMC, and installing the Battery Update.
I'm running out of ideas.
My questions are:
Does this sound like something that can be fixed by replacing the battery connector / sleep sensor or something else?
THANK YOU!!
