[QUOTE="Mace, post: 391947, member: 13891"] On the 9th of this month I was typing away on my MBP (1.83 if that helps) and all of a sudden it goes *boop* and everything turns off. So I think, that's weird, and go grab the adapter b/c I'm thinking hey obviously it was low on power and I wasn't paying attention. Well after I finish my paper I unplug it and move it across the room. I place it on my desk open it up and press the on button. Nothing. I try again this time holding it down and it makes the sounds as if it wants to fire up and then turns itself off again. Well, I bring the adapter over b/c obviously it was working seconds ago and when I plug the adapter into the wall it turns right on. So now I have a laptop I can't take anywhere without the adapter b/c it won't work. Latest thing I've done was download the new battery update. Any ideas? *note* I read on TUAW sometime back (a week or 2 ago) that there was a battery recall of some sort. Thing is I've already sent in the battery for this MBP once before. [/QUOTE]
