hi all. so after scouring the internet, i realize that i'm just another dude with macbook battery problems. My old battery died, i got the x of death, and i tried another charger, which didn't help. i then bought a third-party battery from ebay, which had a bit of charge on it, but when i put it in the computer, it says "not charging." I'm trying not to get totally frustrated, but i really can't figure out what else to do. I've downloaded the battery updates, I've tried to follow directions on other threads, but nothing has seemed to work so far. any suggestions? I'm not under applecare so i don't know if taking it to the store would even help.
9/12/10 update:
so I turned the computer on this morning, and it said the battery was charging, and that it would be about 2:15 to complete the charge. 2+ hours later, I come back to the computer (after intending to let it charge up all the way and then let it die), and despite that the battery's now at 86%, it still said it'd need another 2 hours to finish. I stupidly unplugged the charger and plugged it back in, and now of course it won't charge again. I'm back to the Not Charging problem, and resetting the computer didn't fix it. Any suggestions? Any and all help is much appreciated!
