I hav a 2008 Macbook white.
I last used it abt 2 wks ago, tat time i was using it without the adaptor and the battery level almost reached to only 3%
Juz now when i wanted to use it again, it wont charge ond only the green light appear at the magnetic charging socket.

The battery was at abt 80~90% of its full strength when it was fully charge two weeks back. It can even last for abt 3hrs when fully charge. Charge cycle by coconut battery shows abt 3xx. times.

I can still turn the MB on BUT it hav to be connected to the mains.

Can a battery tat can hold abt 80~90% of its original charge juz died like tat?

is there a way to revive or test the battery?

is the adaptor faulty? i can power up the MB and run normally wif the adaptor

thanks for reading

I dont think ur adapter is faulty, ur battery mayb got prob. ive seen some cases where the mb doesnt recognize the battery anymore.

I dont really understand that 3% part, care to ellaborate further?/ i got it, used until no more battery i see.

but right now, best if u dont simply play with it, bring it to an apple reseller and ask whats going on, then mayb go to vr if u wan do repair if prob is the mb.

Im just suggesting, u can choose to ignore, erm why dont u off it and let it charge 1 more time for 5 hours??? or take out the battery and place it back in, then recharge it, without the mb on.

I've been living the MBA/Ext.HDD life since the first-gen MBA already. Since then my portable USB HDD have burgeoned up from 320GB-500GB-1TB now. Since my own media library had past the 4TB margin, I've since then adopted the "selective picking" of what should go where when it cones to my Macs/iPhone/iPad. It's even more critical on non-expandable storage devices like iPad and iPhone.

End result? Music and games/apps on iPhone, HD versions of the apps and latest episodes of TV shows and latest movies(HD or otherwise) and on the MBA, since Im not saddled with storage restriction(1TB USB HDD) I can go crazy with whatever I want to put in it.

Even better now that I've purchased the new AppleTV, that I can not only stream content to it, I can stream my media stored in my iTunes library on the 1TB USB HDD plugged to the MBA, to hotel HDTVs where I travel. All the while remaining extremely portable! (11.6" MBA, 1TB HDD powered by USB the size of a passport, AppleTV the size of a hockey puck, cables etc.) All fits inside the cabin luggage, for that matter! biggrin.gif

care to elaborate how you set it up?
