Greetings, I’m in a spot of bother with my Mac Book Pro mid 2010, and I was hoping someone out there might be able to offer some insight.
My machines original battery had begun to only hold around 2 hours charge so I bought and installed this replacement battery after reading forum threads that generally suggested it was fine.

Unfortunately after a few weeks I noticed the replacement was holding the same amount of charge as the old battery and over the past six months has now diminished to barely holding any charge, forcing me to work whilst tethered to the power adapter.
The machine now won’t boot up past the opening apple logo, constantly displaying the boot up wheel, even though it is being powered by the adaptor and the adaptor is working fine.
My initial thought was it simply needs another replacement battery as the one i bought was a dud, but I wondered whether there might be something else causing an issue? Only because my replacement was showing identical levels of charge as the battery id replaced and it now wont boot up even though it’s powered through the adapter?
So my questions would be ;
Firstly, any thoughts?
Secondly, has anyone else had similar issues with this particulate replacement?
And thirdly, I’ve read that allowing the battery to regularly run down to cut out can effect hardware, is it possible I may have done other damage?
My huge thanks for any advice anyone may be able offer.
Jon
