Hi all, I checked the battery status on my macbook pro last week and it seemed fine (about 5% down on new).
Last night I checked and coconutBattery was showing that it now only had a capacity of about 400 mAh compared to the standard 6900 mAh of a new battery. I tried resetting the pram and restarting. No change. So this morning I let the battery drain fully and left it unplugged for about 6 hours to fully drain the battery. On restarting it just now coconutBattery is now showing that it has a capacity of -1 mAh. So basically it won't hold a charge at all. The macbook is 21 months old and is showing as having 7 battery load cycles. Is this likely to be a software issue or is my battery really dead. If it is dead do I need to take it into an Apple store to get it replaced or could an Apple authorised repair person do the job?
