[QUOTE="malamus, post: 1193588, member: 152700"] Hi, all. I noticed a few days ago, my mbp shut down when batt life was at 30%. Battery is on the way out I thought. But now I'm getting worried as it will not power up at all. Even when connected to the power adaptor, battery in or out. The battery indicators say full power. It's a 2008 model, the last before the unibody came out (yup that was gutting!). According to other threads it should still work with the power supply if the battery is dead. Is this correct? When I push the power button it (mechanically) sounds like it will start, then all is dead after 5 seconds. Could it be the battery, please say it is :( Cheers (I have tried the cmd/ctrl power and pram reset) Matt [/QUOTE]
