The Macbook or Blackbook is a race, show, and work horse all built into one very neat package. One recently read article mentioned the reduction in battery power and another article mentioned that Apple has basically refused to state what was causing the problem and as a consequence on the same battlefront, the class action suit that was gaining strength as a late summer hurricane has not really subsided.

It is as if I am waiting for public mass transit like MARTA and CCT here in metro Atlanta.Īpple did a wonderful job in at least offering the SMC Firmware Update, but right now it is seeming as if the problem or series of failures have not gone far enough. But with a few mental notes and careful observations, it is beginning to become easier to recognize when a problem or proposal leaves or receives a solution and when the next problem suddenly appears. It is not reading any battery strength at the present time.Īt first, these dots would be very difficult to connect. I found a widget that provides a measurement for battery strength as a percentage. So now I have gone from experiencing random shutdowns to a further reduced pleasure experience of a more reliable and predictable shutdown. I am still plugged in and expect the computer to go blank upon disconnecting the power supply cable. When I unplugged the cable earlier this evening, the computer immediately turned off. Right now I am not showing any battery strength at all after trying to recalibrate the battery today. Now the light remains green as long as it is connected to my Macbook while the battery's strength continues to nosedive and crash. There is a light on the power supply cable that turns yellow when the battery is being charged and turns green when the battery is fully charged.

Upon reading a headline that was soon repeated in many forms stating that an official solution was on the table on October 26, 2006, I promptly downloaded Macbook SMC Firmware Update 1.1 when I returned home from work and I have not experienced RSS since.īut the problem has been promptly replaced with the fact that the power supply cable seems to no longer charge the battery at all. You would not know that there was a problem based upon the recent overwhelming and overkill coverage until the solution was announced before the problem was publicly mentioned supposedly after all. The entire industry of technology journalists have completely not wasted any time in quickly and loudly posting Apple's proposed solution to the Random Shutdown Syndrome (RSS) problem experienced by many Macbook owners and users like myself that surfaced this summer.
