I move around my house with my computer, and I'd left the charger cable downstairs and forgot about the battery until it was at 1% and the trackpad was acting weird. So I closed it and went and grabbed the cable (standard course of action when there's a low battery for me) and instead of saving the state of the machine to memory it shut down and took maybe twice or three times as long as it usually takes to boot. When I'd loaded it and logged in, it told me that the date was before January 1, 2005 (Or a similar date, I don't remember, I closed the error box) and that this could cause errors. When I opened the date the date was set to December 31, 2000. I did some google searching and apparently it's a PRAM battery problem (whatever that is) that occurs in mid 2009 macbook pros. The warranty probably isn't still going because the trackpad is cracked (still works fine). So far I haven't discovered any other problems. I regularly discharge my battery close to 1% and sometimes it completely discharges if I don't plug it in fast enough, but I heard that doing this makes the battery last longer :/
I'm getting a new laptop next year, so having a few stupid errors isn't so bad, but is there anything I can do about this error so that it does not occur again?
