[QUOTE="ErikHoppy, post: 406918, member: 32097"] Hello, my first post, and my first problem with my MacBook Pro It's less than a year old, and I woke up this morning to see that the battery was swollen and coming apart. I have heard about this being a not uncommon problem with MacBooks, but a search on this forum didn't get me anywhere. What can I do?! My poor baby is swelling so much that I just took the battery out and am running on plugin power only. Also, my CPU seems to be working very poorly since the battery issue. Last night all was well, but this morning not even my simple recordings in Reason 3.0 and Cubase Studio 4 will play without clogging the CPU, even with a HUGE buffer. Are there any suggestions? I have an extended 3 year warrenty. I bought the laptop from apple.com about 10 months ago. What can I do? I need my laptop working again ASAP, because I use it for mobile recording! Thank you [/QUOTE]
