[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1632305, member: 56379"] A lot of charge cycles on a battery does not necessarily mean you should have these sort of issues. When a battery accumulates a lot of charge cycles...one thing that can be expected is less runtime on a full charge. Since you mentoned that the charger is not in tip-top shape...I would start with a new charger. Or maybe if you know someone with a MacBook Pro (with an 85watt charger). Maybe you could borrow their charger just to see if it makes a difference befor purchasing another one. Now if you're saying that the computer doesn't run properly when run on battery power...this is a different matter. If this is the case...try an SMC Reset: [url=http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295]Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support[/url] - Nick p.s. Maybe in either case...do the SMC Reset.:) [/QUOTE]
