I have a Macbook from late 2008. My computer no longer recognizes a battery. When I initially started having problems with it, it's cycle count was at 367, but it still would charge and be fine. Within a few weeks, however, it would be fully charged and abruptly shut down completely. I've done the hard restart thing mentioned on these forums a few times and it used to work for a day or two, but now it doesn't work at all. Here's my battery info:

However, it will only last for a small amount of time - between 4 hours and a day. Then, the computer will abruptly shut down, only run when it is plugged in, and not recognize the battery.
Do I need a new battery? Or, is this a hardware problem that I need to take to get fixed?
