Hi,

just noticed a problem when I change the battery on my MacBook Pro. When I swap the battery my Bluetooth says that it is not avaliable. Also I can left click with my mouse.

I let the battery run down as normal and go to sleep as I have always done. Not quite sure what is causing this. Any ideas?

i have the same problem with the mbp c2d (this one i bought just 1 week after it was released).
everytime i change battery, the bluetooth just won't work anymore, even if i restart it (turn if off and then back on). currently i either do the following
-remember to turn off bluetooth before switching battery
-if i fotget to turn bluetooth off, i'll have to restart the machine in order to get it back to working. a little annoying though, but luckily the MBP restarts pretty fast.

sometimes it also happens to the airport.

I have never had it happen to my airport. Strange that.

Do you have the same problem with the right click on the track pad? Next time I will check to see if the settings get changed or if things just get screwed up.

Does your problem only occur when the battery is flat or does it occur when you just swap the battery?

it basically happens when it comes back from hibernation. so, yeah, if i run out of battery and leave it there, forgeting to recharge, the next day when i plug it to the magsafe and wake it up, it happens.
im not sure about the trackpad right click cause ive never tried it before. maybe i'll check it out next time.
