I’ve had my venerable MacBook Pro since 2006 and as such I’ve gone through several batteries. Up until yesterday this three month old unit could hold several hours of charge even with the screen at a reasonable brightness and WiFi enabled, but all of a sudden I can’t get more than an hour and OS X is reporting the unit needs servicing.
Three questions: How could this have happened? Do Apple batteries have warranties you reckon? Is the Bird still The Word?
I think this means you need a new battery. At least, that’s what it meant when I had the same message. :(
They go so quickly!
hmm strange how it instantly went down to an hour, sounds dodgey unless a cell has started leaking and the battery is somehow smart enough not to use it… or soemthing.
also gravatars for the win.
