QUOTE(civic98 @ Nov 4 2009, 10:01 PM) Just for info, I just got my battery changed, after 2 years! My MB White CD's battery was a little deformed (bulging), and I immediately called AppleCare, after talking for less than 10 minutes (with someone with a heavy slang, later found out the call was directed to Apple Europe), they agreed to replace mine and gave me a case number. Got my new battery few days later. For info, my AppleCare expired last month! Apple ROCKS! Will they change the battery for you? if your battery is dead and u are still on ACPP. |

If your battery is below 300 cycle and can't detect/ won't charge/ swollen.

No local supplier, gonna be hassle to claim warranty or support.
And you have to lug another bulky battery pack along with not light-weight MacBook/MacBook Pro.

Send it in to Service Center.
Have you try unplug the power cord? Does it shutdown immediately?

hello there..
i am using my macbook pro 13' about a month. i just realize that when i'm charging sometimes it almost feels as though there is electricity running through the case, and I get a very (very) mild electric shock, it almost feels like a vibration. Anyone else getting this?

yup... it's a problem with Malaysia's earthing system.
use your macbook in any other country and you'd have no problems.
basically just keep off the aluminium body.
more methods have been discussed in the "Macbook/MBP/MBA users" thread...

are you using the direct plug for the magsave? Try using the plug with extended cable, the direct plug doesn't have earth connection

He mean that the plug that u use, did you use the long white cable attached? Or just use the 'white little box' direct plug to the adapter?  Coz the extended cable has earth grounding inside. So it's safer. |
