So I'm seriously enjoying my "new" BlackBook, but I'm having a bit of an issue. Sometimes after shutting it down, it doesn't want to start back up. I know that it's going to happen if I plug in the MagSafe connector and the light immediately turns bright green. The only way I've found to fix this is to take out the (non-functional) battery, let it sit for a minute or two, and then plug the connector back in. This always makes it work.
If the LED on the connector turns a very dark (or dim) green, and then turns bright green, I know it's going to work fine. I believe I've tried an SMC reset and it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas on what the issue could be? Since my battery doesn't work (and I'm suspecting that the faulty battery is part of the issue) I am often turning on and off the computer to move from one place to another. I'm getting a new battery soon, but I just don't have the funds for it right now.
