My macbook has 2 battery related problems.

1) Randomly my computer won't turn on with the battery unless I remove my batter completely and then put it back in. This usually happens when I shut down the MB and then remove the power source and try turning it on again. It's not always, but it has a knack for being at the most crucial moments.

2)When I remove my power plug from the MB while it's on, the screen stays completely the same brightness. The check box is checked in the energy saver mode and I've restarted a bunch of times.

I'm thinking of taking it in, but I can't prove anything for the 1st problem because it's so random and the 2nd problem might be software based which means ergh reformat and I can do that at home. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bob
