    I have the mid-2007 middle white MacBook. It has a new battery. Last time I used it, it was fully charged.

    I left it unplugged overnight (and off, no sleep mode). I plugged it in a minute ago and noticed the orange light on the MagSafe came on. Odd I thought. Normally when I leave it unplugged it only loses about 1% capacity per day.

    I start up and look at the battery meter. "0%".

    Wonder if I should be giving AppleCare a call over this. Like I said, battery is new. Has 10 cycles on it. I calibrated it when I first got it. The overall capacity also dropped from 5384 to 5104.
