With the charger connected, the pooter runs fine, but the battery will not charge.
I have two chargers and both have the same problem, so it's the pooter.
The display in the top right window says "Calculating".
Any suggestions?

It's like the lap top doesn't want a charge ..... but it does.

Sat, February 2, 2008 - 9:40 AMIt's probably the battery. There's apparently a chip in the battery that tells the computer what to think about the battery while it's charging. I've been told that after a while that chip goes bad. I had the same problem with my iBook a while ago and it was really frustrating. Putting a new battery in fixed it.

Sat, February 9, 2008 - 12:05 PMMake sure you have all software and battery updates applied. Reset the SMC. Check the system profiler for the cycle count on the battery. Try the batter in a friend's MacBook Pro.
If the battery is determined bad, your cycle count is low and your still under warranty, you have a good chance at getting a new battery. -
