Hello Folks,
I bought a brand new MBP at the end of June, things were going sorta well. I had the odd beach ball every now and then but it never lasted to be annoying or indicate serious trouble!
Then yesterday, I plugged my MBP to charge it and noticed the charger isn't turning orange like it is supposed to, also, it said that the battery is "Not Charging". Unplugged, replugged and life with back to normal.
Come today, I forgot to plug it in and the battery was completely drained (no big deal right?) I plugged it in, and MBP powers back on. This time though, it was stuck at 1% and not charging. iStat said it had 638hrs till full charge (WHAT??!!) and then the fans kicked into high gear like there was **** burning within the chassis.
I ended up turning everything off, plugging it and let it be for a while. Now, it's up and running again, charging.
I set up an appointment with the Genius Bar and we'll find out what they say
I am very disappointed at this.
Do y'all have any suggestions?!
Let me know.
Cheers.
