Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I tried restarting the SMC of my laptop and it didnt work. prior to updating to Mountain Lion, my battery life was still okay. but after updating, it drains fast and it says that I need to have my battery replaced. "service battery" How did that happen overnight?? and is there any way for me to fix this problem??
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion
Well it has to happen sometime, and when it does, it will happen in an instant. If it says "service battery", then you should get it serviced. Take it to an Apple Store, or buy a replacement online.
Update on adapter:
- on new and old adapter, I can charge to 100%
- old adapter would stop charging from time to time and the laptop and adapter would get hot.
- new adapter stays green after charging with no problems. laptop and adapter are cooler to touch.
- No change to the "Service Battery" issue after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
- SMC did not work
- I reported this issue to the link provided by PeterMac87
