Well, things with my MacBook have been running fine since the long and sordid story of my broken MacBook... Until now. This last week, while I am running on battery power, I am experiencing random shutdowns. No warning, just power off. When I try to restart right away, nothing, its dead. After about 5 minutes, it will start again, but only long enough for me to start a browser and then click, off it goes again. If I plug the MacBook into an power outlet, it runs again without shutting down.
The last time this happened, the battery indicator read that there was 11% charge remaining. I think something is faulty in the indicator and that is why I am getting the shutdowns without any "Battery Low" warnings... I will check for an update and see if that solves the problem. Until then, I am stuck to a power outlet...

back to the drawing board, no updates... perhaps it was an update the caused the problem... now to give an Apple 'Genius' a call...
