Hello,
I have read tons of different discussions but none of them seem to address the same exact symptoms I am currently having. First of all, I just replaced my battery with a brand new one. The manual says to charge it all the way before turning it on, then to let it drain and charge it again while it is shut down, and to repeat this process at least 3 times. Well, the new battery worked perfectly for the first day and gave me 4 hours of battery life. Then I used it til it was almost dead again and as soon as I got the battery warning that my computer was almost dead, the computer immediately died, before I even had a chance to shut it down. I plugged it in and the indicator light went straight to green. I turned the computer over to look at the LED lights and there were none flashing. When I pressed the button, the first light flashed but then went away. I tried turning on the computer but it did nothing. Then I took the battery out and put it back in--still nothing. I tried the SMC reset--nothing. I put my old battery back in (which wouldn't charge at ALL before, hence why I replaced it) and the indicator light went to orange and the battery started charging. I was totally surprised--my computer is charging the old battery now, and not the new one. However, the old battery is only showing 1 out of the 5 green LEd lights and it doesn't seem to charge it any further. The computer still won't turn on. Why is my computer doing this? Why does it shut down so abruptly on its own and not turn on when plugged in? Should I send back the new battery or just go to the Genius Bar? Please help!!
