Whats wrong when unplugged it when its full? i don't like my charger cable dangle around my feet. Is it that is the purpose of chargers, to charge ur battery, so when its full, i just unplugged it and go to my living room without the charger. When its low, just plugged it back in my room and leave it to full charge. I love 1996, 90's rock man!!

the thing is i'd love 1960s more hehe kidding..
i think dats the way i take care my battery capacity.
my previous MBP batt lasted 4years with 80% (4296mAh from 5500mAh)
the current one down to 92% after one year (5060 from 5450)

so u just left the charger on eventhough its full?

shouldnt current generation laptops have a circuit breaker of some sort to stop the flow of electricity to the battery once it's charged?

yeah, but i still love unplugging them and bring it around the house. If i dun unplugged them and just leave it at the desk, might as well i get myself a desktop

I charge my MBP every night because I need a full battery the next day. So it doesn't matter if it's all gone or 25% or 50% or 75%, I still have to charge it. Probably not too good for the battery but no choice otherwise it might not get me thru the day.

that is why apple suggest to do calibration at regular interval. same goes to all li-ion products. run the coconut, or else check the battery condition after 3-4 years or usage ..provided the battery still can run.

major concept is to optimize the usage, instead of maximize/minimize.

hi, what is the basic stuff for my MBP? such as Perian and what else?

Guys... I need help...
My MBP just hanged and I have no choice but to force it to shut down...
Now when I switch it on... It'll only show a blank white screen...
HELP!!

How many times have you tried and get the white screen?

Try reboot your Mac with the original OS disk. Skip the install process, click on UTILITIES, Disk Utility at the very top menu.
Run the Verify and Repair process

Worst scenario - reinstall the OS if above cannot work
Delete your partition, create a new one, reboot the computer, and then install mac os. If still unable to boot, probably hard disk failure

Looks like the MBP isn't detecting the HD. Might be a bad HD.

Do you get a flashing folder with question mark if you wait long enough?
Do you get the Apple logo?
Can you boot in Verbose mode to see what's wrong?
As benny888 suggested, try booting from the DVD and running disk utility.

But if you have important data, better take out the HD and recover it on another computer before doing anything else.

No flashing folder no apple logo... Just white screen
I've tried press the power button and the C key to boot from the CD but no luck....

How am I gona reformat my Mac?
Any idea how this happen? I was away from my laptop for about 15 minutes and this crap happened... Was just surfing the net...

Can you boot from the DVD if you remove the HD? If not, could be motherboard problem.

Don't think it'll help but can also try to reset the PRAM.
