unplug it and pop it in the fridge to reduce the temp.Īn hour later I popped it in and viola, I had my battery back. we dont have a reset switch on it, so I killed it the fastest way I could. So, I decided the battery may have crashed.

Even mobiles and Set top boxes can, something we have traditionally not been used to in older generations of these items (It wasn't acceptable for old mobiles, VCR's or calculators to crash, odd how it is now) New electronic devices are more complex, and can "crash". So It was't that the battery was "dead", the Macbook was detecting it initially each time.

I noticed that the first few seconds after I plugged the battery in, It came up with a number for charging, and then replaced it with the X. So, I took the battery out and left it for a while. X through the battery icon, flashing lights. Your battery is going to 'report' back to the SMC that it has: 7496 milliampe hours at full charge. The symptoms you've described is indicative of one or more failed cells. System Profiler shows it has 59 cycles on it. Your battery is failing it's not holding a charge It's time to have it replaced. I came home, had let it run down, really low, and then left it overnight again. There is no X, it just shows the regular plug icon. I've never been quite sure about this issue.
