I did a brief search on this but didnt really find something I could use. I was using my 17" powerbook to check my email and the forums, etc. this morning. I had about 30 minutes of battery left so I figured it would be ok and I would just shut down before I left for my first class. Well after a minute or two of being on my computer just went to sleep like there was no battery life left. I tried closing it and reopening, pressing the F2 key to turn the brightness up to try and wake it from sleep. Nothing worked. So I got the power adapter out and plugged in thinking the battery was dead. I plugged it in and it came right back on, but after a little bit, maybe 30 seconds it went back to sleep. So I hit F2 and it came back on and started working and charging and it seems to be ok. I still have 121 days of my limited year warranty left so im going to take this to the apple store hopefully this weekend and have them check the battery and anything else that could be going wrong.
Can anybody think of anything that might be causing this, usually the battery will run down to about 10 minutes or so and then give me the pop up saying im running on reserve battery power, but that didnt happen this time. I also still had 30 minutes which is kind of weird because I use the computer all the time when I have that much battery left, and when I plugged in and it started working it said I still had 30% battery life left. Hopefully I can get some good ideas on whats going on here and when I go to Apple, hopefully they will say nothing is wrong.
Thanks for any help.
