hi there,
I'm having a few problems with my macbook pro - but im not sure if its a hardware issue or software, and i was hoping to get some help with the issues.
Issues:
1) my battery is draining within 1 hour (at full brightness, 'better battery life' select, 2 applications open - mail & firefox, battery health at 94%)
In this same situation a month ago, the battery would last atleast 2 hours. But since then it seems that my laptop is running much hotter than it was (normal temp around 50c).
2) Safari has started to hang, and lag alot more. I'm getting the beachball icon always popping up, and having to wait atleast 1 min before safari will even respond (this will happen what ever webpage im viewing, and completely randomly).
3) the laptop will say its got like 20 mins left on the battery life, then suddenly cut out, and when i press the indicator on the bottom, the battery is said to be empty. And i can only turn the mac back on when its connected to a power source. (if i unplug it soon as its back on it, it will work for the remaineder of the 20 mins)
4) The laptop wont always wake, or goto sleep correctly if the power is at a low point. Or if the fans are at full speed.
I think thats all the problems! im sure there is one more but i cant remember it. But if anyone can help that would be great.
