My 2006 white macbook battery no longer holds a charge, it stays on 0% and the computer turns off if the plug comes undone. Before I drop money on a new battery though, is there anything I am overlooking?

I ask this because I have a friend who picked up the same laptop a month or so after I did (back at the end of 2006) and his battery still runs fine.

If it is time for a new battery, can I buy one at the apple store, or do I have to order online? Are all white macbook batteries the same, or should I be looking for one in specific?

Thanks!
