So I've had my Macbook Pro for almost 3 years now. These past 7 months it's increasingly getting slower. When I'm running programs like safari (multiple browsers open) and MSN the 'beach ball' pops up and starts loading. Usually it also takes forever to switch over from one program to another. I have 1GB RAM, which should be able to handle the programs I use.

Another problem I have is that my mac won't charge. It only works while the charger is connected to the Mac and it tells me that it's fully charged, but as soon as I disconnect it it tells me that I only have 20-30% left which runs out in 5-10 mins as It does go down decreasingly but skips from 30% to 25 and so on.

My fan is quite loud too. I dropped the laptop a while back and it's been loud since. I don't know if the fan might have sightly popped out of it's place or if that's even possible.


Here's this as-well... dunno if it will help.

Any help or solutions to fix this would be greatly appreciated. I'm not novice when it gets to computers so please keep it at a beginners level. =)
