The only thing you can do is setup an appointment...
 
Yeah, you can't remove the battery in that model or it voids your warranty!
Sorry about the issues, I would also try resetting the PRAM by pressing the Power button, and the SHIFT + CONTROL + OPTION buttons together.
Other than that, call Apple or set up a genius bar appointment.
