Oh no, what's going on here then?
That's right, I've had to resurrect the old "fixed with a 2 pence coin & clamped to a table" iBook of old. Because my 4 month old black MacBook is buggered! 2 Macs side by side & neither one capable of being portable.
After the nice man at Apple sent me a new battery in October 2007, this seemed to make my laptop well again. My MacBook performed without a hitch...until about a week ago.
The battery power reading started plummeting suddenly again...The Random Shutdowns started rearing their ugly heads...and I got more and more pissed off with the whole enterprise. And now the dreaded black X of doom was back...on battery number 2!! Then the thing wouldn't boot from battery at all, and became - just like my iBook - a stationary object incapable of being portable. Only the AC power lead would make it work
The "Genius" was consulted this time, as my 90 day free phone support had expired. He looked a bit puzzled, changed the battery over to their MacBook - and it worked. Sadly, their battery wouldn't start my MacBook. The "Genius" said he thought that the problem was therefore probably with either the battery connection in the laptop, or the logic board. Oh, and while he was examining my black MacBook the "Genius" managed to scratch the case. Thanks a lot. Love your work sir...
Bloody Nora, can't Apple build a machine that "Just works"?
So, tomorrow the MacBook - 4 months old - goes to the Apple Store for repair.

Hello.
Just checking in on this issue. My Macbook Pro is demonstrating this RSS of late. I purchased it in July of 2007. Today it won't power on without being connected with power adapter.
I wish you the best and am anxious to know how you fare.
