So my 2009 MBP has been acting weird lately.
Almost every time I put it to sleep, it won't go to sleep, so I open it later and the battery has drained down to 0%.
Today, twice I closed it and the battery didn't drain, but it didn't start up like usual. Instead, it started up as if the battery was drained, with the greyish screen and the bars on the bottom slowly going white (I don't know how to explain that. It's the countdown mechanism when you drain the whole battery) until it is fully operational.
Then, 5 minutes ago, it just suddenly shut off.
Any suggestions for trouble shooting? I'm going to reset the SMC. Any other thoughts?
