Hello.
I wanted to ask, how much can I use my Macbook Pro safely without changing the battery that is already dead?
I'm a newbie on the Mac products, i got a 15-inch Mid 2010 Macbook as a birthday's gift for school uses.
It has been 2 years since I got it, and haven't got any serious problems (other than reset SMC maybe 5 times within this span or a total disk formatting due corrupted files). But now my battery is dead and can't use my computer without being plugged.
I tried to reset SMC as well as PVRAM to check it wasn't any other thing that prevented my battery from charging, but none worked.
I read what can happen if a dead battery stays for a long time, but I want to know how much time can I afford to use it without damaging the computer, since this is my work tool and there's no other available PC at home, and we can't afford a battery anytime soon.
Thanks for reading, I hope you can provide me some useful insight.
Cheers
