MacBook Pro Battery Indicator Problems

Monday Dec 24, 2007

The battery icon in the menubar of my MacBook Pro was showing a black "X" instead of the time remaining. It looks like it also prevented the battery from being charged correctly. I found this article on how to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) that fixed the problem.

You may want to watch it closely. Mine did that and then it quit charging all together. I called Apple and they replaced the battery, luckly I had Apple Care... Currently on my third battery for my MBP.
