[QUOTE="tyson0016, post: 604708, member: 25147"] I have a MacBook Pro that is slightly over one year old. About 4 months ago, I had the unit plugged into AC power and the battery was showing around 40% remaining when it suddenly just died, without any warning, as if the power had just been instantly cut off. It then would not turn back on and I noticed that the light on the magsafe was lit green with a very slight, rapid flicker. It remained in this state for about 15 minutes before it switched back to orange and began charging and then the system was able to power back on. It has since done this many many more times and is getting worse. So far it has done it every morning this week when I plug it in at work, and then again when I get home with it in the evenings. Despite leaving it plugged in all night (in sleep mode) and then a 20 minute commute to work, the battery has dropped to 40 or 50% by that time. I realize this could be a problem with one of several things, but was hoping someone else had experienced this as well and could point me in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
