Good to know. I've just switched to a desktop computer for most work, which is a good thing (tm) anyway. The situation with my MacBook got worse to the point where I needed to start it up about ten times in the morning, until it worked for about one hour. That was enough to read emails. Then it crashed and I got enough. > I politely asked for a report from them when they got any results from > the central Apple repair people, but I've not heard anything yet. > > For kicks, I left it running while I was away (11 days) and it would > appear that the battery is now somewhat confused again: after a reboot > the batteri is "present" and "charging", but rate, capacity and voltage > are all zero. > > Someone mentioned that the applesmc module isn't quite up to par with > what MacOSX does to the hardware - I guess that might be the reason. The reason for not showing real values for battery capacity, rate and voltage, you mean. Not the reason for the sudden shutdowns, is that right? I'll try to install MacOSX and reproduce the error there, as soon as I have all the data on my desktop computer.
