Hi, I have a 2nd gen macbook,2.0ghz(core 2 duo),white,1gb of RAM and i seem to have some battery issues. I browse and download some files on Safari,listen to music and download some music on Itunes, and use the dashboard. I run the screen at full brightness. And my battery power seems to drop quite quickly. not to mention it also seems to get very hot around the front left portion of the macbook. is there a battery problem? thank you for your help.![]()

How long have you had it?

Well, what's "battery dropping quickly"? How quick is that? If your MacBook can last 3+ hours, I wouldn't be worried.
As for the heat near the front left portion, that's normal, because that's where the battery is. The bottom left of my MacBook is at 31 C right now (thanks to iStat Pro widget). -
drops in about an hour
-
Drop fully dead? As in from fully charge it goes to below 10% charge in one hour?
Then there's a problem. -
i have had it for maby a month. well not below 10% but it does hit somewhere around 30 to 40%.

Apple set up a battery exchange program for macbook(?) and macbook pro batteries in laptops sold between feb 06 and april 07. Call Apple.

As for the 31C, my computer's 27C when it's COLD. (macbook pro here)
-
does it sound normal?
