Hi everyone, I apologize if this has been posted before. I found something similar to it after searching, but nothing seemed to help me, so I figured I'd take the chance and just post my own problem.
I recently purchased a new battery for my two year old Macbook because the previous one I had began swelling. Now when ever I'm running off the battery life, and it runs down to the point where it says it will go into sleep mode in about ten minutes or so, it's ends up shutting off completely instead of just going to sleep. I've never experience this problem before and can't seem to figure out what I need to do.
I did the SMC reset by taking out the battery and AC plug, and then holding the power button down for 5 seconds with no change.
Is it possible this is due to the battery being defective? Any body have any thoughts? Thanks for ANY help I can get with this. It's really irking me especially since I've never had any issues with this kind of thing before.
PS. I read that because the swelling of the battery is a defect I should be able to get Apple to replace it even though I'm out of warranty. It was actually a refurbished replacement I was given during the 2007 recall. Should I pursue this again or let it go?
