Hi guys,

I just bought a MacBook recently, and it was going good until recently... suddenly the battery charge drops tremendously... You guys experience this? It is still under warranty , how do I claim for warranty? I bought it over here in LYN, so was wondering where I can claim it, do I just walk in to any Apple shops?

just to let you guys know (if u didn't know already) that MacBook SMC Firmware update 1.1 is available for installation.
It's supposed to prevent RSD for those suffering from it (I'm not) but reading the Apple discussions, it also raises the volume of the MacBook - something that i haven't detected yet. For more info:

I have already installed it into my MacBook

Did anyone tried the NFS:Carbon Demo on yr Mac thru BootCamp??

i cant even play NFS: most wanted thru bootcamp

evry time i push nos sure will lag.

any idea about 12" macbook pro when will out ?

There will be no 12 inch dude, even wanna produce 13 inch also need to think hard!

battery charge drops tremendously????
how come?

mine as good as new(although its already 3 month old)
maybe u should make an observation for about 1-3 days
and see whether the problem still occur, then u can bring it for repair.

You've got to provide more information as to what is meant by "charge drops tremedously".

There are many variables that affect battery performance: Percentage charge, usage details eg, brightness/disk activity/sound volume/CD use etc. All this would affect the rate of power use and therefore battery life. If you can't provide this information then nobody will be able to provide you with any useful advice.

In any case; the most likely scenario is that you need to recalibrate your battery monitoring parameters. See here:

Thanks guys. Well.. I have coconutbattery running currently on the MB Original Battery Capacity is at 5200mAh... As of now, it only says that it can contain 212mAh...

Would calibrating it get meself back to its original state? I can't use the macbook without the charger now as it will say that it is using the reserve power... HELP!

Additional info: Battery Loadcycle 24times... age 2 months.

Well you won't know until you actually TRY now would you?

Just follow the instructions and report back here whydontcha?

Ok just did the battery calibrating thingy and didnt work. The Current full charge is at 191 mAh but the battery should take 5200mAh. Hmmm I wonder how this could happen.

did u follow the calibrating process exactly?

Yeah, fortunately or unfortunately... I did the same exact steps... hmm might call the apple support tomorrow then...

thanks for the help guys

Don't bother calling support. Just bring it in to VR Tech at Megan Phileo and let the guys there take a look at it.

I updated the SMC Firmware yesterday, just got back to KL today (was at Genting, dont really notice heat on Macbook up there), usually back in KL the CPU temps are high, 50-60 while browsing outside, but today its just around 30-35. Not sure if its because of the update, but looking good..

Yup same as mine... currently the CPU is at 25 -26 which is darn good

BTW, I just sent me battery to the service center and they say they'll provide me a replacement within a week....
