Look like same as mine. Just buy the new battery will do. No need to explain so long since nothing can do with it.

but it is only 1 and the half years, is apple products that fragile? I remembered that last time i used ibook G4 for 5 years which do not have this problem.

Sometimes it's really down to the user. It din happen on all MacBook pro carried the same model, so we can't conclude it's "fragile", innit?

A year and half, runs 56 cycles. It seem odd to me

odd but true, 56 cycles, i do not bring my macbook out often, i'm using it normally, room temperature.

again its very subjective, do you do calibration, only charge when its down to less than 10percent? and all the other battery preservation methods? The battery swelling will not make it explode its a standard stop gap measure on all lithium ion battery so that it will not leak or explode pending disposal, this is normal, its a consumable part and even with applecare tehy are many ways of testing it before it could be said that this warrants an exchange why not call applecare and ask them? provide pictures and plead if necessary dong scold them or threaten them talk to them nicely, they might listen or bring it to the nearest service center.

I just uninstalled iAntiVirus since it's hogging the CPU so badly :/

Anyone help on my question?

anyone experience burn mark at the edge of their macbook?

burn mark at below of ur macbook casing, top left and right corner. i just bought it a mnth ago and use it for3 to 4 hour daily for surfing and FB only.

to all the mac guru, anyone have the problem of the 13' macbook pro tingling effect (electric static shock) when connecting to the power adaptor?

can you take pics for that ? i want to see..

it's a common issue. use the extended charger cable with the 3-pin plug. dont just use the plug-only one

cause: malaysian grounding

spot on, i'm using the plug-only since is long enough for us. using the extended power plug seems to solve the problem.

thanx, but really nothing can be done if i still prefer to use the plug only version?

I had that problem too, solved by using the extended

that involves demolishing all houses to build proper grounding in Malaysia, so that cannot be done. Even in Japan there is no proper grounding.

btw, do u all plug in the adapter while using mac at home? i currently a dell xps studio 16 user. gonna get a mac15" soon

Yeap, connected most of the time unless I calibrate my batt.

Went to machines today to ask about the battery swollen problem and I'm not sure if he is a certified technician or not, he said I should unplug when my macbook is fully charge, or not it will overcharge. Is that true?

^ sounds like a typical "i know everything but i dont bother to keep up with the times" PC tech guy, simply employed by machines

not true.. if im the boss i would have fired him. simply give wrong information.

LOL! I see... Its better to confirm with you guys than just asking him.
