[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 943241, member: 56379"] The lifespan of your MacBook is way longer than 4 years! Unfortunately it sounds like your MacBook is suffering from a number of problems..,and of course since laptops are mobile, if they experience rough handling in their lifetime or see lots & lots of use (more than average), that will cause additional problems. As far as the computer not staying on when unplugged. Even though your battery is fully charged...that does not guarantee a long runtime. Your battery could be so old & worn out that a 100% charge for your old battery may only mean 5 minutes of total runtime unplugged! I can almost guarantee if you purchased a new battery, your laptop would work great unplugged!:) As far as the keys not working & the intermittent Airport. You could replace the keyboard, and the Airport problem may or may not be hardware based. You also mentioned overheating...how do you know it is overheating? Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
