Defective computer battery

Tweet

Remember I've told you about the computer drama I had back in September with my MacBook Pro? Well, it's been continuing to go downhill from there. This past Thursday night, I had a nightmarish computer scare. Before I shut down my computer, it fell asleep on its own and didn't wake up or restart. I had a panic attack and thought my computer died on me. I've called my brother to let him know. He suggested to check the battery and the AC adapter. I did and nothing happened. So I did multiple rounds to get through with Apple Care and schedule an appointment this weekend. Then my dad called and I talked to him. He's convincing me to get a new computer, if it's fried, and not one of Mac. He also sent me another check to put into my emergency savings fund that I would get this week. After I got off the phone with him, I finally got through to Apple Care and scheduled an appointment for this past Saturday, in which I didn't need.... Because before I went to bed, after I rearranged and sorted my cords, plugs and wires, it rebooted on its own. I called my brother. But it turned out, I had a low battery. Now, it's been not charging at 2% and working from the power adapter to get on and use. I did a live chat with Apple two hours ago and told them about the issue. I did try to reset the System Management Controller. But I'd forgotten to mention about the water damage from September to them. Now I think I have a defective non-removable battery that I need to replace in my laptop. When they call back in about 2 hours, I'm going to mention that to them and see what they say about getting a new battery if possible and/or REALLY taking it to the Mac store this weekend. Besides getting an external keyboard and speakers this September, I hope my computer won't die on me next. The power button and space bar are the only buttons that still work on my dying laptop. I'll update you later tonight on what Apple said for a possible resolution. Have this happened to you Mylotters with this computer problem?
