[QUOTE="613, post: 943335, member: 131294"] I've got the same problem as you with regards to a battery that holds charge for only a few minutes. But it does seem very odd that there would be such a sudden decline in the last few weeks. But a replacement battery as [B]pigoo3[/B] mentioned would be almost 100% likely to fix it! If keys are a problem, I'd give what [B]idrinorbarsaku[/B] mentions a go. After a good clean out I found my keys were 'clicking' to the same level rather than a few being a little uneven. Failing that, you can get the keyboard replaced. People with major hardware problems often split their MaBooks up, so you could easily pick one up quite cheaply. Apple will replace them too, but I don't know how much that would cost. Finally, you could do what I did and simply take your 'Book into the Apple Store and tell them everything you've told us and see what they think. A simple investigation by them won't cost you a thing. Perhaps they'll say things need replacing, or perhaps only a good clean-up is required, but I found a free consultation is never a bad thing! Hope that helps! David [/QUOTE]
