My second BMP battery is also broken

Hello everyone,
My first MBP battery was changed due the Apple's replacement program. First one was only 12 days old and it had lost almost 30% of its capacity. This second one is "much" older one but I have only 42 loadcycles. Does Apple, Sony, or whoever is making these batteries have any qualitycontrol?
Ok, after 40 cycles my battery keeps going for 20min or so. When power goes back to 0% and I put powercord on it takes only 1-2min to load up to 75%.
Again I have to send whole computer to service. First time midplane was changed and now they want to investigate this problem.

Hi,
I have currently 3 batteries, one of them having been replaced on the exchange program.
The one I currently use is less than 6 months old, and behaves erratically since 10.4.8 upgrade and the new firmware installation. I did not test the other ones yet.
Yesterday, the MBP battery was drained during sleep period (two hours) and only showed 500 mw max capacity when I plugged the power cord. It "pretended" to be full after 10 minutes of charge but in fact continued to fill up (orange light on the power device) for at least one hour. The day before, it had charged overnight, with the orange lid being lightened for at least 4 hours..
After one hour or so of charge during working, it showed 2h45 capacity and 5000 wts.
This morning, the same battery displayed 3000 wts total capaci ty (500 left)..
If someone has called applecare already, I would be interested to know Apple's feedback. My bet is that it might well be a firmware/hardware problem with the MBP.
I will test the other batteries and be back to this discussion

Mdnsresponder will not quit. Consumes above 100% CPU and kills my battery. Also causes my fan to run constantly and my computer to get extremely hot. Force quitting doesn't work. It just comes back.

Thanks.

mDNSResponder is a background process that runs all the time. If you kill it, it's relaunched automatically.
Please launch the Console application and select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "mDNSResponder" (without the quotes) in the search field. Post a sample of the log messages in the Console window -- only one example of each repeated message, please.

Blackberry Pearl Battery Cover Clip Broken

My pearl took a little fall and now the silver battery clip has broken (with the spring coming out and such). Can I buy a replacement clip for the battery cover? Where would I find this?

eBay has TONS of vendors selling these because Blackberry did a VERY POOR engineering job on these.
Just search for "Blackberry Pearl Latch". They SHOULD replace them for free. It's gotten so bad that T-Mobile sales people are dissuading customers from buying Pearls just because they get so many complaints about the broken latches. So, head their advice unlike me. I bought one on eBay. When I saw it I could see why they break so often. It is a tiny, cheaply made and fragile part. I broke the replacement trying to get it installed. So, if anybody tries to replace one themselves be very careful with the 3 tiny little pins on the latch.
Blackberry should be paying for these to be repaired.

How to do a security wipe if phone is stuck on start-up screen and your micro-usb port is also broken?

Good day
A week or so ago, my phone just out of the blue decided that it would not initiate fully anymore. It was laying on charge and when i took it off after an hour or so, it just stuck on the service provider's screen before saying "loading personal settings". I was informed that my os needed to be reinstalled, the problem is, my usb port ion my phone is also broken. I took the phone in to a repair guy, but he wants to ask me an idiotic price to fix it and says he is able to do so without using my usb port? Is there any way you can wipe your Blackberry 8520 and reinstall an O.S if your usb port on the phone is broken? Please, this is a matter of life and death as there are a hell of a load of contacts, documents and emails i would like to save, but if not able to, I can handle that too, just need the phone to work, it's of the highest importance!
Thank you so much in advance.
Juan

I take it that you do not have a recent back up of your phone's data?
Try starting your 8520 in Safe Mode.
Article ID: KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
If you can do that, you can get to the Security wipe function, but without a good USB port, I am not sure how you're going to load the OS. But try Safe Mode first.

Cant battery iphone drain/broken if i charge with ipad charger?

iPad Charger is perfect for charging all iPhones. It is completely compatible.

Does ios 7.1.1 improve battery performance ,also what is its effect on the speed of iphone 4s????

if it increase battery i want to know if it reduce the iphone speed ,as after ios 7.1 my iphone got more speed but the battery drainage increased

Tx modular, I mean by speed the general performance of iPhone which optimized after iOS 7.1 but I am afraid to update to iOS 7.1.1 not to lose this perfect performance but also I need battery life optimization

Since i have upgraded my i phone5 to 7.0.3 it has problem with 3g it display the service message every time, it reduce the battery life also.

Second bulging battery...

I'm having my second bulging battery replaced in as many years. My question is did Apple really fix this problem, or will I be purchasing another battery in another year when the "extended" CD MBP warranty goes south? I have a 17" BTW...
I know Apple doesn't see these boards. Question is how many people here have had the same issue? Repeatedly?
Next question: Does anyone think its related to temperature? I say that because I have been recently playing Guild Wars on Crossover Games, and that makes the temperature go up and the fans go crazy.
And lastly, has this problem been "fixed" on the latest models of MBP? Should I drop this one on CraigsList and get me a new one?

I'm sure. You're wrong (and right, partially). There are two Apple battery replacement programs. One is a recall/exchange for specific serial numbers of 15" MBPs - this was contemporary with the recall from other brands, although Apple did state that there was no physical danger from the batteries. The other is a general replacement program for batteries that exhibit symptoms like short run time or physical deformation - that's the one that applies to you.
See this page: http://www.apple.com/support/exchange_repair/macbookpro.html
They don't blame Sony, no. But during that period (2/06 - 4/07) all Apple notebooks shipped with batteries manufactured by Sony, and Apple states that some batteries "may have battery performance issues" and lists "visibly deformed" as a symptom of an affected battery.

Nothing YOU cand do. You'll need to bring the phone to Apple for replacement.

However, the most likely reason is your self-repair of a device that is only factory repairable broke something. Note that Apple does not sell replacement parts, so whatever parts you used were not made by Apple's supplier and are of questionable quality.

6th Gen Nano - 25 seconds of battery life?

Ok, For Christmas i received the new iPod Nano, the 6th Generation one. but, ever since unpacking the thing, i only been able to squeeze out about 24.7 seconds of battery life at most - after leaving it plugged in for 3 and a half Hours.
Any Ideas on How to fix this? Do i need to send it back? Am i illegible to send it back since i leave overseas in italy?

The Adapter isn't complicated...
Ok, for those who don't know, The Voltage ratings in the United States (and many other countries) and in most central European countries are not the same. The US uses 120v in their plugs, and the EU countries use anywhere from 220v-240v in their plugs. Plugging a US appliance that isn't dual voltage into a EU plug will most likely result in that appliance Burning out, or Blowing up.
The Result to this is a 120v to 220v-240v Transformer. THAT is what i plugged the adapter into.

HT1267 My iPod player in my iPhone isn't working properly it will play for a few seconds then stop and also the volume level will appear then disappear what can I do to remedy this?

My iPod player within my iPhone isn't working properly when playing videos it will start then stop after a few seconds and also the sound bar appears then disappears, and when playing music no sound is coming out when I'm on a call I can hear everything properly and also on loud speaker! What can I do to remedy this? Please help!!!

If you haven't tried it yet, I'd eliminate memory issues first. Close all of the apps with the double tap on the home button method

then restart the device.

Hard drive died, but do i have a battery issue also?

Hello,
Well, my powerbook has been acting funny for the last few months and I think it finally died today. I've been doing weekly bootable backups on a smartdisk firelite 100GB external hard drive. Yesterday my computer was really slow, so today I updated the backup. Afterwards, I tried running disk repair in the disk utility on my internal hard drive, but it froze while doing that and I was forced to hit the kill switch. When I started it again I got the mini-folder with a blinking question mark. Luckily, I think the bootable backup works (although I've had issues with that drive mounting in the past) and for now it looks like I have all my files and applications. I tried running disk repair on the internal hard drive by got the error message: "invalid B-tree node size, volume check failed, underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)".
My question though is about how HOT my powerbook had been running lately. I've been using a notebook cooler with a fan, but it's still very hot to the touch after a while above the keyboard and sometimes I've noticed it's hot on the lower right side (under my left wrist). The adapter on the AC plug/cord setup gets hot also. I'm wondering if the heat was because the hard drive was dying, OR if the hard drive died because of the heat? (Note: I checked my battery serial number a long time ago and it wasn't part of the mac recall.)
I want to get a new hard drive to install (at BestBuy or some other place I guess). I'll look around on the list for recommendations, but I'm open to suggestions. I don't know if it's worth wiping the hard drive I have now and restoring it from the backup, or just assume it's dead. I don't want to get a new hard drive and find out I have a battery overheating issue instead.
Thanks for your help!
Lisa

Lisa:
Before you purchase and install a new HDD, just hold a minute.
Great that you have a bootable backup of your HDD. Good thinking. Are you able to boot the computer from the external firewire HDD? (From a cold start, turn on external HDD, hit computer power button and immediately after chime hold down Option key. Select external HDD in screen and click right pointing arrow.)
When you ran Disk Utility, did you notice the S.M.A.R.T Status? If it says Verified, there is still hope. If it says failing, we'll need to find you a new HDD.
+"invalid B-tree node size, volume check failed, underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)".+
This indicates serious directory issues for which you will need a utility like Disk Warrior, Tech Tool Pro, or DriveGenius. Take a look at Disk Utility reports "Underlying task reported failure" when repairing a volume for details about the issue.
One of the above utilities has a good chance of repairing the directories. However, there is an even chance that the drive may be too damaged to be repaired. However, you won't know that until after you have run one of those utilities.
Your computer will support a 2.5" (P)ATA/IDE HDD up to 160 GB. Here are some HDDs that will work for you at OWC. If you are handy with a screw driver and have the time and patience you can probably install it yourself using these step by step directions from ifixit. If you need to install a new HDD, and think you would like to try it yourself, post back for additional tips.
Cheers.
