[QUOTE="WasabiTaylor, post: 764733, member: 10703"] Thanks for the suggestions. I ran Onyx. I suppose I'll have to wait and see if it solves the crashing issue. I'll try out the compressed air in my slot drive when I get a can. The battery woes are likely a result of my using my laptop more as a desktop than anything else. I do calibrate it about once a month though. I got my second battery about a year and a half about when Apple did a recall on the battery I had at the time. The second one is just as bad if not worse though. I'll buy another battery if I have to, I was just curious if there were any other sort of solutions. As for Applecare, I'm not so sure if I'm still covered or how to prove it if I am. Additionally, I'm over an hour away from an Apple store, so visiting the genius bar isn't at the top of my list of things to do. Does running the hardware test require a disc? I ran a quick google search and I looked like I would need one of my discs that came in the original packaging. Unfortunately I'm away at school and don't have access to that stuff at the moment. Is there any other way to do it? Again, thanks so much for the suggestions. [/QUOTE]
