Q: Won't power on with battery attached
My Macbook Air has worked fine for a few months. I took it on a trip with me and when I returned home it sat in it's bag for 2 weeks before I went to power it up.
When I went to power it up nothing happened.
Attached power cable and it shows a blinking green light.
When I hit power button the blinking green light turns off until I release the power button.
After trying a few sites for things to do when your Macbook Air won't turn on I disconnected the battery, held down the power button, reattached battery, reconnected power supply. Same problem.
Finally I disconnected the battery.
The system comes up, but, it is very very slow.
Nothing I've tried has rectified the slowness (I can actually live without a battery, I use this mainly for development).
Nothing I've tried can get the system to come up with the battery attached.
Nothing has changed in the system since it's last known use that would account for this (that I know of).
Any tips would be great.
Thanks,
Eric
