My MacBook Pro was very warm when I used it last night without the cord. Still showed decent charge when I was done. Didn’t charge it overnight. When I went to use it today, it was dead. Plugged it in to charge and powered it up. Came back from Sleep mode(?) as I didn’t have to log back in. Indicator light on plug in is green, however, Battery symbol on top bar of screen just shows an “X” instead of remaining battery life. I unplugged cord and computer shut off. Plugged it back in and did the same turn on from sleep mode. Am I safe to think my battery is finished? If so, since this is a unibody, what’s my next step?
Stop spending money! Let me try to help you. Here’s what Apple says to do on a Black battery X: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1359 Most Best Buy techs have less than 3 days of training. Everything has to be shipped off to a real tech for two weeks because they don’t know sh*t. Then they charge you thru the nose.
