Burnt out my Macbook Pro's battery?

Hey,

I have a Macbook Pro 13' and I wanted to transfer files to my PC so I bought a 6-to-9 pin FireWire Cable.

And Uhh this is what happened:

When I tried to plug the firewire cable in my Macbook Pro just suddenly turns off and I swear I could smell something smoking. I immediately removed the firewire and I tried to turn on my Macbook and its fine.

Now my Macbook won't even start up but it does when I connect the AC adapter. But... when I disconnect the adapter my Macbook turns off and the adapter's light is always green even though the button on the side indicates that my battery has only 25% left.

Sigh. Did I just break my Macbook's battery?

Also, a couple of questions:

1. Is it possible for the cable to be faulty and thus caused it to burn out my Macbook's battery?

2. I don't have Apple care, how much would it cost Apple to give me a new battery?

It will cost Apple Zero $$$ to give you a new battery...because they won't give you one.

It will cost YOU $129 + tax for a new battery.

Not always true. I did not have Apple Care on my MacBook 2,2 yet after a solid year + of hard use, the battery stopped charging altogether and Apple still replaced it for FREE.

Give it a shot, the worst they could say is that your gonna have to pay.

Good luck with it!
