[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1632110, member: 307555"] I recently picked up a Macbook, 2009, Core2Duo, 13", 4GB, 160HD. The owner had replaced a new non-apple battery. I need something with a firewire for video capture and that would be all it does. Problem - It will shut down at random. I put it on a cooling pad that has a fan in it to see if it was a heat issue. That did not help. There is no pattern. Sometimes it will run for hours and never has a hick up. Other times it is on for 10 minutes then shuts down as in a hard shutdown and has to be powered on an reload the OS. I have the energy saver and screen saver shut off. I can't have it shutting down as that really kills the video capture. I did remove the battery and so far that seems to have fixed the problem. I left it on for hours and it was fine. Could the battery be the issue? Would buying it an OEM battery potentially fix the problem or could it be an issue with the inverter? Lisa [/QUOTE]
