Hi,
I bought MBP 13" in April 2011 and unfortunately, I didn't purchase Apple Protection Plan.
All of a sudden, I now see the icon "No batteries available" in the upper right corner where it is supposed to say charging. My MacBookPro doesn't start without a charger and the light on the charger doesn't go amber. The light forever stays green. I have tried the 2 steps :
1. Reset PRAM/VRAM as per - About NVRAM and PRAM , and
2. Reset the SMC - Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
It has been just more than a year and I don't have a warranty. I really regret my decision of not having purchased the Apple Protection Plan. My questions are :
1. Is there anything else that I could do to restore the battery? My OS is Lion 10.7.4 . I also checked the system report, but the cycle count shows 0 and charging as "No" .
2. Is it normal that the Apple battery will be completely consumed in less than 2 years?
