Hey......I had this problem with my macbook pro last year......there`s a known battery issue with macbooks and apple released a firmware update that resolves the problem in most cases.

Apple - Support - Downloads - Battery Update 1.2

If that doesn`t work (didn`t for me) contact apple customer service and they`ll replace your battery free if the serial number matches the group that had issues.

Tell me you didn`t really do this?!!!!

I bet you can replace that 4 year old computer with a $250 mac mini and it would be more advanced.

No prob.......4 years huh? Well......it can`t hurt to try, honestly Apple has the best customer service I`ve ever dealt with....tell your friend to call them and to play up how loyal a customer she`s been and that she had her eye on purchasing some other Apple products (tell her not to ham it up too much but a little can`t hurt)

If worse comes to worse she could get a replacement battery for like a hundred bucks....but I bet they`ll give it to her for free.
