Maybe “Apple” needs to take better “care” when manufacturing their products .

YOU’RE a terrible speller!

My power indicator on my screen says I have a battery life of 99%. If I flip the computer over and touch the indicator all leds light up – full power as well.

If I’m plugged in the mbp works great, but once I unplug within 3 seconds the whole mac will die. No shutdowns, no reboot. Just *click* – off. If I’m unplugged I can try and turn it on but I’ll hear the mac start but before the chime I’ll hear the *click* – and then nothing.

I’ve been to the apple store 2 days ago and they couldn’t reproduce the problem. But now it’s more prominent since. I’m going back today to see what they say when I don’t let them go to the back room or plug it in first. LED’s don’t lie…something they made is defective. Either it’s my MBP or the battery…or both.

I’ll let you all know how it goes. I bought my MBP in Aug ‘07.
