[QUOTE="shannoncannon, post: 672953, member: 58279"] Hi! So I have a Macbook that I purchased in April 2007. I don't have applecare. Things had been working out fine until about six weeks ago when it would only hold a battery charge until 12%, and then a while later it would turn off when it got to 18% and most recently 32%. About three or four times over the past two weeks when I would turn it back on it would get to the blue screen but not to my login screen. Then I would have to restart it and was prompted to login, per usual. So yesterday, at 81% it just turned off and won't turn back on. I charged it overnight to no avail. I took out the battery and tried to turn it on without the battery (just the power adapter), which didn't work. I replaced the battery and still got nothing. I tried our other power adapter (my boyfriend has the same macbook) and that didn't work either. I don't know too much about computers- I've had two other laptop (pcs) crap out on me before this, but after about 2 years of use. One had a motherboard problem (sold it) and the other had a simple hard drive problem. I just replaced the hard drive and things were fine. What can I do now, besides the obvious thing, taking it to an Apple Store? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
