[QUOTE="TanBrae, post: 1526881, member: 208843"] 1. I try shutting down using the Apple icon, then clicking on Shut Down. It hangs forever. I've even left it over night, and opened it in the morning, and that gray screen with the spinning wheel was still there. So, I use the button to shut down. Some times, it shuts down almost immediately, and some times it takes a few seconds. 2. I always uncheck the "reopen windows". It does not improve things. 3. Yes. I've been having issues for about a year and a half, if not longer. I've complained about the battery for quite a while (was surprised at how quickly it lost its charge right from the beginning), and have also complained about the PRAM. I guess I just want ONE answer about the battery... IS this normal behavior for this style laptop? As to the PRAM issue, I'd really like it to be solved BEFORE my Apple Care expires! I've attached the most recent Coconut Battery screenshot. [ATTACH=full]19288[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
