I bought my 13 inch Macbook Pro in the Summer of 2009. It has the 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory with the upgraded 320 GB hardrive.
Okay from reading around I found out that basically every awful thing you can do while using/charging your computer, I have made terrible habits out of (i.e. putting my soft case underneath while using/charging the computer, putting it on top of a soft surface like a pillow while using/charging, etc.). As a result, my computer gets very hot and my battery life has gone down considerably. Also, as I was just poking around the other day I was looking at the "About This Mac" section, and clicked "More Info..." and under the "Power" tab I found that under "Health Information -> Condition" it says "Check Battery" (only reassuring me further that I messed up the battery).
Can anybody point me in a direction on how to fix this issue? Whether it be a new batter, or a new fan, or simply just a way to better find out what needs to be done (in addition to breaking my stupid user habits).
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!
