[QUOTE="KRIPEV, post: 1057309, member: 156840"] Hi guys, I'm new to the forum as a poster, although I've been coming here for guidance for as long as I've had my MacBook. I have a white MacBook 1,1 [2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo] with some hardware issues and I'm running Snow Leopard [if this matters]. I've read about similar issues before but I've looked about everywhere I can and I'm just trying to not have to buy a new Mac for just the last year of college. [B]Problem:[/B] 1. About a year ago I began to have issues intermittently, where the computer would crash when unplugging the power cable [with the battery reading (Charged 100%)]. 2. After a couple of months the computer would no longer start on battery power, and would crash as soon as power cable was disconnected, even though battery is still reading a full charge. 3. I researched the problem and I believed I needed a new battery. 4. Bought a replacement battery and it worked great for a couple of weeks until the same issues arose, leading me to think that it was and is not a battery issue but something else. 5. 7 months later I'm still having to live with my MacBook as if it were a desktop, and if it were as powerful as an iMac I wouldn't mind, but frankly it is nowhere close. 6. Another note is that when I have it closed and in Sleep mode, I can unplug it without a crash but if I open it while it is unplugged, then it will crash instantly. 7. Also, as soon as I plug it back in after an unplug-crash, it automatically starts up. [B]What I've already done to try to fix the situation:[/B] 1. Yes, I've tried resetting the SMC and PRAM with no change, positive or negative. 2. I mentioned the battery thing earlier. 3. Can't remember any more at the moment. Any Ideas? Any help/suggestions at all is greatly appreciated!!! :D [/QUOTE]
