Black MacBook USB problem

The USB ports of my MacBook suddenly have a very odd problem: If I plug in any USB device like a mouse or a keyboard the computer won't recognise them. It does, however, recognise them when they're plugged in before booting or in sleep mode before waking it up. Then everything works perfectly. Help anyone?

I have the same problem with my USB ports (with a white Macbook). zapping the pram did nothing. Anyone have an idea why this happening or how to fix it?

New black MacBook, USB issue

I have a friend (no, seriously) that just made "the switch" and moved to a black MacBook at my urging. It's brand new, but from day 1 he has been complaining that anything he plugs into one of the USB ports keeps dropping out randomly. He said he found on some website that this is just a MacBook issue and that the solution is to use the other port. Then today he said the other one intermittently started drop out too.
I say it's broken, he should send it back and get a new one... but I don't know enough about the MacBooks to tell him that it's a unique issue.
Anyone else seen anything like this?

Hey guys.
I use Scratch Live also, and BTW its Serato.
anyway, this is quite the problem over at Scratchlive.net
Many of the users have run tests and have come to the conclusion that when the SL1 box is plugged into the "bad" port, that being the USB closest to the firewire cable, it is somehow linked to the track pad, and therefore goes into some kind of sleep mode. If you leave the trackpad alone, when the SL1 box is plugged into that port, let it sit for 20 seconds, then touch the pad you will get a drop out.
This is the case for both the MBP, and the MB.
The funny thing is...when we run Scratch Live in windows XP, using bootcamp...the problem is not there, WHAT-SO-EVER.
So this is obviously a Mac OSX issue.
The problem still persists and I've got the Developer versions of 10.4.9, and still the problem is there.
This isnt just a case for Scratch Live either, it happens with ANY audio interface that is plugged into the bad port.
I.E. Mbox, Scratch Live...anything USB audio interface related.
So hope this helps and check the link...its a big problem in this DJ community.
lol.
help?
any Developers out there that can write a code that prevents the track pad going into sleep mode?

Black Macbook connection problem

Hello
We have 4 Apple computers in our household. We're connecting to the internet using an airport express. Three out of four computers (G4 Titanium Powerbook, late 2008 MacBook Pro, late 2008 Alu Macbook) can connect to this AE very quickly and the speed is fine. One computer (black Macbook 2.16 Core2Duo) has problems. When starting up or waking up from sleep it takes about a minute to find the AE, and then when finally connected it's very slow. I tried to set up the AE from this computer and interstingly, then all other computers can not find the network at all.
Anyone any ideas ?

I had a very similar problem with a PowerBook G4 that I inherited. The final resolution was to do a complete flatten and reload of OS X, but there are a few steps you can try first that are a bit less drastic:
Try the following, and check to see if the problem disappears after each step ...
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
o Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
o Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
o Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
o Restart, or log out then back in.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
o Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
o Restart or log out then back in.
2. Run the Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions.
3. Turn off the Mac OS X Firewall
o System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
o Click the "Stop" button.
4. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
o Go to /Library/Preferences
o Move the SystemConfiguration folder and com.apple.networkConfig.plist file to the desktop.
o Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder & .plist file back to it's original location.)
5. Create a New User Account
o System Preferences > Accounts
o Click "+" to add a new account
o Log off, then log back on with the new user account.
o Try connecting with the AirPort.

Macbook USB Electricity problem?

Hi.
I have a black macbook and for the last couple of month im working with an external Keyboard and mouse.
The thing is that sometime the keyboard and mouse just stops working. If i play with the Usb when it is connected then it will start working. Seems like there is a problem in the contact of the usb's on my mac...
Is there something that is known?
Thanks

Someone has not properly plugged in and removed the cables from the USB port in the past*:

Have recently acquired an additional black MacBook, and installed Snow Leopard onto it. Trying to get it to connect via a plug-in USB wifi unit (poor reception on Airport) I have an extra Network Location which does not work. How can I remove it?

Need to get a second hand black MacBook connected. Poor reception on Airport so tried a plug in wifi aerial. That didn't work, but now have a Network Location I can't get rid of. How do I remove it ?

Hello my ginger,
I tried what you suggested - but to no success. The problem came up when I was re-entering the new settings. If I left it as using DHCP it would run for a few seconds with no IP address, then drop in a 169.254 one which would not connect through. To overcome this I tried using the 'Using DHCP with manual address' option and entered in an address which it had set up from the clone boot. This appeared to be okay. When I then tried renewing DHCP lease sometimes that address held. When I tried connecting though - no sight of the internet, and the exclamation mark was across the wifi icon in the menu bar. If I switched it to Using DHCP it would randomly fall back to the 169.254 address.
The only significant differences I could see when cross checking all the settings info was in the WINS panel the NetBIOS had a slightly different configuration of the name - but as they ended in the same numbers I assumed they were the same. And, when looking under Keychain Access, in the System section list (it also appeared in the login section) additional info box they had different locations - 28 characters in four groups. I don't have a clue what this refers to. Also the allow access list in the boot clone included System Preferences, but did not in the Snow Leopard boot, so I added it in. With no success.
I am so frustrated I am thinking of giving up. I seen have loads of postings on the net about a variety of problems with wifi connection on Snow Leopard. I have version 10.6.3. Did it get any better in later Snow Leopard ? Or in any of the OS s after that ? It was always so easy and so solid under Leopard - why the h**l did they change it ?

I have a black MacBook from 2008 and tried downloading snow leopard 10.6. It told me I had to restart my computer. However once I restarted my MacBook my touchpad and keyboard were not working so I am unable to sign in. I have no idea what the problem is

You cannot download the upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor

       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

Macbook Air 2011 USB Problem

Hi, I recently bought a Toshiba portable hard drive that uses usb 3.0. For some reason, my mid-2011 macbook air 13" is unable to connect to the drive with the USB3 to microUSB3 cable. However, the hard drive worked on a late 2010 macbook air 11", other macbooks and pcs using the usb3 cable. The Toshiba portable hard drive did work with my 2011 air with my friend's USB2 to microUSB2 cable so I decided to buy one on Amazon. Unfortunately, the cable that I bought from amazon did not work with my macbook air but it did work with my other pc.
My question is: Does my macbook air have a usb problem and should I go to apple store to get it fixed?
Thanks!

There have been more than a few threads on this subject of the USB 3.0 Toshiba Canvio problems. Here is an ongoing rather current discussion of the issue.

Problem starting up a black Macbook

Hi all,
I'm having a few problems with a black Macbook (Intel Core Duo 2GHz) I've been given (I was warned of the faults) and I hope someone will be able to point me in the right direction. The warranty on the machine has long since expired. The hard drive was broken, but I've swapped in one from another Macbook, which works fine.
1. When I hit the power button on the machine, there's a momentary flash from the LCD, then the machine goes dead. This happens every time. To get the machine to start up, I now have to hold down the power button for 10 seconds until the light on the front starts flashing and the Macbook emits a loud beep. Then the machine starts as normal.
2. Once in the OS (Leopard), the fan goes nuts and hovers around 6000RPM all the time. I've followed various bits of advice regarding this, including using Activity Monitor to track down rogue processes (nothing above 3% CPU usage), print jobs (none), etc. The fan is sitting at a healthy 41 degrees Celcius (105 Fahrenheit). I've downloaded smcFanControl, but for some reason I can't get this to run. I double-click the icon, but nothing happens -- weird. I don't really think manually controlling the fan speed addresses the root cause anyway.
Edit: I've also tried an SMC reset for the fan problem, but this did not solve the problem.
Edit 2: Just discovered another problem, which is more than likely related to point 1. The machine was in sleep mode with the lid shut. I lifted the lid and the LCD came on so I could see my desktop then the machine abruptly went dead.
Do I have a borked logic board?

Hi Lyssa,
Thanks for your response. Yes, I have the original discs for the machine.
I've just booted the machine into safe mode (still had to do the same trick of holding down the power button for 10 seconds or so), but it made no difference. The fan's still spinning at 6200RPM.
Just noticed one thing. Right before I get the Apple logo when the machine boots, I get a flashing folder icon with a question mark in it. This lasts for only 1 second. I can confirm that the hard drive is perfectly functional as it boots just fine in my other Macbook.

Hangs and problems with 10.7.4 on black MacBook 2,1 (2007)

Installed 10.7.4 through software update on my black MacBook 2,1 (2007) w/ 3Gigs ram installed and over 133Gigs free of a 500Gig hd and used it frequently for several weeks. During this time my MacBook experienced very long app launches and in almost every case beach ball hangs with all apps. The hangs could last minutes in some cases and in other cases the applications would quit. I am a long time mac user and have never experienced anything like this before. System Monitor would show very high cpu use and fan would wind at full speed with just a single app like Safari opening. I downloaded the combo updater of 10.7.4 and installed it to see if it would help without luck. I tried all the usual fixes..PRAM, repair permissions, repair HD...etc. I gave up last night I restarted command-r and installed a time machine backup of 10.7.3 from 5/9/12. I am happy to say my MacBook with 10.7.3 is back in place, behaving properly and is as snappy as I would expect from a 5 year old computer. I submitted feedback to Apple on this issue but I wondering if anyone else is experiencing these issues.

You can download the standalone updates:
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update

Black macbook problem, really strange.

I have an older black macbook I installed lion on it, it boots shows the grey background with the apple logo then shows a circle with a line through it. Help?

See this Apple note. Although it says it covers thru 10.6, it has more thorough steps to follow than the Lion/Mt Lion version.

Shall i put a 7200rpm hard drive into my black macbook for logic pro?

hi, i bought high spec black macbook refurbished which came with a 5400rpm drive inside it.
Im using logic pro, and its been running fine with small projects, but when i have a medium sized project using several vst instruments and exs24s using many audio samples, all of which are running off the internal.... i get error messages, system overload messages...and i am unable to bounce to audio file (in logic pro)
im thinking its the slow hard drive which is causing the main problems.
I have 2gb ram. It also takes sometimes over 5 mins to open this logic file. And then some!
Or is this poor performance par for the course, if using just ONE internal drive, for both system files and audio storage....... ?
Are there possible probs which may arise from taking out the 5400 drive and fitting a faster 7200 drive in to my macbook? I hear it will heat up more....so could this mess with other macbook componets?? the excess heat...... or are macbooks bulit to handle 7200rpm drives too??? dont remember is 7200 was an optional upgrade with my model or not......
2.4ghz intelcore2duo.
Anybody fitted a 7200 drive into their macbooks???? all running ok??
Would i simply put the new hard drive in..... and then boot up from boot dvds and my time machine backup....to have a full up to date system, all apps and file intact as they are now???? Im worried it will get messy and problems...... my current drive is packed to rafters with apps and files and work i have done......i dont want to lose a thing.....would it be a simple easy fool proof transition to faster hard drive????
And could i still use the current hard drive? With an enclosure??
Ive heard people have ripped out the opticla dvd drive and fitted ANOTHER hard drive into their macbooks, so the laptop housing two hard drives..... that sounds good...but crazy..... maybe later ill do that....as i hardly use the cd/dvd drive...... and you can always hook it up with wire if need be......
any tips or advice....would be most kind and helpful.
thankyou.

I used Carbon Copy Cloner- do not use Time Machine for this- to make a bootable clone of the drive inside my Macbook Pro, and then installed the new, faster drive. I then booted from the cloned drive, and cloned that back into the fresh internal drive. That being said:
1) I only did this since I bought the laptop used, and didn't get the install OS discs. I would have started fresh and installed everything myself, but then again, it wasn't my laptop, and I didn't care about what was on it. You might.
2) You need to clone to an external Firewire drive if you want to make a bootable clone. Do not use USB. Do not use Time Machine, as its backups are not able to be booted from.
3) The whole replace the internal DVD drive with another sounds pretty iffy to me. Just use the Firewire drive you'll now be having at you disposal for a variety of things, including possibly recording to. I can advise once I know what your interface is, if any, and if you've got a Macbook or a Macbook Pro- I forgot to look.
You will get much better results with a 7200 RPM drive, by the way. You can certainly use the old drive in some sort of enclosure, although it's still a slow drive and all, so I wouldn't really invest much into it. Maybe put it in a USB enclosure and use it for backups, or for transporting material, or for cracking walnuts, maybe, if you have a walnut tree.
Even in this fancy computer age, there is still nothing better than a freshly roasted walnut or pecan. Good luck, L

Hibernate is not working (Black macbook)

Hi, I generally set my black macbook (late 2007 model) to hibernate instead of sleep when I close the lid. I used the 'pmset -a hibernatemode 1' command.
After booting up fresh, the first time I close the lid, it hibernates, and I can wake it fine by opening the lid and pressing the power button. The second, third, etc. times when I close the lid, the sleep light comes on BUT NEVER TURNS OFF!! When I open the lid, it will not wake up, and I have to manually restart the macbook via the power button.
What's more, after the first hibernation, I sometimes find that my bluetooth settings are frozen. That is, when I try to change my bluetooth settings, the spinning cursor comes on, and I have to force quit from System Preferences. Then, going back to bluetooth settings only makes System Preferences freeze again. At this point, I have to reboot in order to access bluetooth settings.
This is really annoying, because I frequently use hibernate in order to save my computer image and not have it wake up via USB mouse or keyboard, etc. Am I alone on this or have other people faced this issue too? Thanks.
Message was edited by: mikester007

I have been experiencing the same problem, though I have tried both the Midnight and Deep Sleep widgets. I've never had a problem with waking from sleep, only with hibernating in the first place... the light stays on and I have to hold down power to get a response. This happens about 1/3 of the time, though it seems to be happening more often since upgrading to 10.5.6.

Constant Kernel Panics Black Macbook

Hi I recently acquired a black 2007-2008~ black macbook and I'm having issues figuring out what the issues are with this machine. Without fail, this macbook will popup the "You need to restart your computer" message at random points, though typically I'm unable to even get it to boot to the login screen before it tells me it's hit a kernel panic.
That being said, I did manage to get it to stay working long enough to email myself the crash log from one of the most recent crashes.
I consider myself pretty computer literate, but I can't find anything to get this to work. Also, I've attempted runing the AHT (Holding 'D' key on startup), but I haven't been able to get it to run. I've tried pulling the disc, wiping it, installing all the necessary programs on a nearly identical macbook, but nothing has seemed to work.
I've swapped the ram, keyboard, and airport card into another confirmed working macbook and have had no issues with crashes.
Please help

Disreagrd the keyboard and mouse idea, for some reason I'm thinking imac instaed of macbook. That said, I stil think you may have a corrupt bluetooth driver. You might first try a safe boot to see if that clears out the problem, if that doesn't help I would try reinstalling OS X. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564

Quick review of my wife's new Black MacBook

OK - so SWMBO chose Black last night at the Apple Store. Store upgraded the stock 512MB (2x 256MB sticks) with 2x 512MB sticks and ran memory test to ensure all was AOK - it was.
This MacBook replaced her 14" iBook G3 700MHz with 30gig HD, DVD-ROM/CD-RW and 640MB memory running Mac OS X 10.4.6 with all latest Apple updates.
First impressions during use and transferring wife's files from her old iBook.
1. Startup was flawless and connected FW400 cable between MacBook and iBook and restarted iBook in Target mode and selected to have all of wife's home files transferred along with other network settings etc. Transfer completed without problems.
2. As soon as startup completed I Restarted (re-booted) and selected Software update. Geeeesh - there was a lot of stuff that Apple hadn't installed on this stock machine. Downloaded and installed all this stuff without problems.
3. Now I ran Monolingual to remove all languages except English. This freed up some 3.2 GB of HD space. This took around 30 mins and placed a great deal of stress on the CPUs and HD. CPU activity was well above 80% (using Top.app) and Monolingual chewed up lots of physical RAM and started eventually to cause pageouts on the 1gig of physical RAM. The top left quadrant of the MacBook got very hot. The lower surface of the quadrant was extremely hot and would be bothersome had it been on my lap. The cooling fan could be heard during most of the time Monolingual was running. I believe the Monolingual also removed a large number of language files - as many as 287,000 as before running it I recall seeing 437,000 files and now only have 154,000 files (can't be absolutely sure about these numbers as I did not log them at the time). However, if this is true then not only do you get some 3.2 gig of HD space back a huge reduction in file count which helps with SpotLight indexing and anything else that has to scan the file system structure.
4. Ran SuperDuper to backup the HD to and external FW400 LaCie 60gig pocket HD. Took about 30 mins. The first run at this caused SuperDuper to complain it could correct the internal HD's permissions. So I quit SuperDuper and launched Disk Utility and ran Repair permissions. This completed with errors and then launched SuperDuper a second time and it did not have problems with the HD permissions. I observed that SuperDuper (not a universal binary) ran far quicker on the MacBook than it did on the iBook - I would say around 2x faster. After SuperDuper cloned the MacBook's HD I then verified I could boot up from the external FW400 LaCie drive. This worked flawlessly.
5. QT Pro didn't come across from wife's iBook so had to reset the QuickTime Pro registration key.
6. The MacBook screen real estate is less than the 14" iBook. It really is the height of the MacBook's screen that causes this. The MacBook's screen is same width as the iBook but is about 1.5" less in height. Overall the MacBook feels, looks and is smaller than the 14" iBook. The MacBook's screen display is clearer and brighter than the iBook's. The MacBook's screen display is very vibrant and more colorful than the iBook for sure.
7. Opening the MacBook screen/lid takes a bit of getting used to compared to the method needed for the iBook.
8. Keys are flush with the MacBook's outer surface which means they do not contact the screen when screen closed. The iBook's keys aren't and stick up some and can over time mark the screen with finger tip grease etc.
9. MacBook's trackpad is larger than the iBook's and very welcomed - as is the two-finger scrolling feature.
10. Adding a pic for accounts was fun as the iSight feature is by default used to capture a mug shot of yourself if you so desire.
11. Performance of MacBook compared to iBook 14" 700MHz is not very noticeable IMO when doing Safari and Mail type activities. Things do happen with more snappyness though. Yes - SuperDuper ran 2x faster but normal use of MacBook so far doesn't tell me it's 2x2000MHz/700MHz or some 5.7x faster wrt CPU clock rates. I'm sure the MacBook is faster at doing CPU intensive things but have not done any scientific performance testing to post results. I get the feeling that this MacBook is maybe 2x to 3x faster and more snappier than the iBook. The Disk Inventory X utility screams on this MacBook.
12. MacBook is lighter, thinner and more easily handled than the 14" iBook. It will also fit into the iBook 14" Bootq bag I bought for wife last Christmas.
13. My wife likes the MacBook very much after a morning of use. She maintains the Black MacBook is cool looking and more professional looking than the White and pleased she chose the Black.
14. We are both very pleased with the Black MacBook purchase at this time.
The 14" iBook is now to be handed down to daughter #1 as a birthday+Xmas present.

Update to my item 4 as there were some typo errors in it (sorry about that).
4. Ran SuperDuper to backup the HD to and external FW400 LaCie 60gig pocket HD. Took about 30 mins. The first run at this caused SuperDuper to complain it could not correct the internal HD's permissions. So I quit SuperDuper and launched Disk Utility and ran Repair permissions. This completed without errors and then launched SuperDuper a second time and it did not have problems with the HD permissions.

Macbook Battery Problem

Hi all, this is my first post, but something weird happened to my macbook that I have to share with you.
Ok, my Macbook Core Duo 2.0GHz (1st generation) have had no problem during its first and half year. Then I left the notebook sitting at home for one month as I was away on business. Came back, the machine won't start, used AC adaptor and showed the battery not charging, "x" and everything. My warranty expired, so I bought a new battery. Once I got that, it worked fine for almost 7 months.
Another business trip left my macbook for 1 month, I came back, the battery is dead again!!! So I went to apple support and bought another new battery. This time I installed it at home, and it doesn't charge what-so-ever. I tried everything from SMU reset, PMU reset, P-RAM reset. NOTHING WORKED.
So I took a friend's macbook battery to try, and it worked! I can charge that battery with my macbook, and my battery won't charge on his macbook. So scientifically I thought its the battery defect. I went to Apple Care and they say they will replace it for me, but think that it should be my macbook's problem. Must be the Logic Board, I explained why I disagree, and that the battery came with only one LED blinking when I got home to charge, the current was already too low to charge.
Anyways, I was able to buy a second-hand battery really cheap but with limited life-span and use it until my replacement battery returns. Everything seem fine and I can charge it up to 100% although it will only last me 50-mins, still not bad, right?
I was reluctant to completely drain this battery now since I am afraid it will drop to zero and won't recharge like the other ones.
I am using Boot Camp, and Vista as well as OS X. Suddenly today, two days after I bought the 2nd hand battery, I was using Vista to show my friend the battery problem is fixed. But suddenly out of nowhere the battery dropped from 95% charged to 0% in seconds. It shuts down automatically, and the battery was flashing one LED indicating it's dying.
I started back in Mac OS X and found the charger able to recharge, but it fixed at 0% for 20 minutes. I thought I am screwed and went out for a smoke. I came back to see the battery charging back to 5% and then slowly to 10%, and 20%, suddenly it went back to 85% in seconds, and then 100%. I try to unplug it and it seemed fine. I left it on without the adapter for 20 minutes, the battery drain normally, to 70% (it's fine considering the battery was 2nd hand) My friend thought I should try to switch back to Vista to see if the same thing will occur. So I did, and before the Vista screen came up, the macbook blacked out. I checked the battery indicator and it's flashing one LED again!!!
So I switched back to Mac side and re-do the charging, this time it took longer to get back to +90%, I thought this is normal, 'cause I did use the battery longer on the Mac side before switching to Vista for the test.
I thought to myself, why Vista drained my battery, and then I remember the first battery that died on me was about the time I switched the PC side to Vista. Prior to that, the PC side was using XP. The second time it died it was in Vista as well. I also remember I wanted to reduce the size of my PC partition, so I trimmed off unnecessary features like hibernation by (Powercfg -h off). It saved 2G in size but it may be causing some problem to the charging circuit for the Mac-hardware??? Don't know for sure.
So I erased my Vista partition, and re-installed XP. Since then I tried both sides without adaptor, usually for 10-minutes or less, and no sudden dropped to 0% occurred since.
Everything else is working fine with my macbook, except the power features. Right now at least I can charge the battery, but I am always worried about when or IF the battery will dropped off and kill itself.
I am waiting for the replacement battery to return from APPLE, and hopefully when it returns, my Macbook will be able to recognize the DEFAULT low-charge of a new battery. I'm still not sure if my macbook is defective, and if it did killed the first battery replacement they gave me a few days ago. If it did kill a decent battery, will it kill this new replacement as well??
I know for a fact that the reason why the machine won't charge the battery is because the current of the battery has become too low for the machine to be able to charge it. If the current becomes lower, the "X" will occur suggesting that the machine doesn't even recognize it's a battery. But what I want to know is what caused the battery to drop to such a low current if I turned off the macbook during storage.
Sorry for the length of this post, but I have to be clear on all the details if I want help, I suppose. Right now my question is (1) Why is this occuring?? (2) Am I right in assuming that by removing Vista with XP, the problem will not repeat?? (3) Is it likely for any new or 2nd hand functioning battery to drop to the state of the other battery any time soon?? (4) Am I doing proper care for my Macbook, and what should I do in the future to avoid the same problem from occuring??

gpotts,
Thanks again, here's my battery profile: (keep in mind this is the 2nd hand battery I am profiling) BTW, something happened when I was doing this message, I left the notebook on for about 20 minutes, it dropped from +90% to 48%, macbook prompted me that the battery is running low. I plugged the adaptor and it went back to +95% within minutes...
Good thing is, I haven't seen the sudden drop to 0% ever since I removed Vista, and also I am able to charge my battery everytime I try now, no more "NOT CHARGING" or "X" indication.
Any clues??? Thanks in advance.
