I noticed that my battery went from full to 40% in a mere hour and than after minutes it blanked out. When I took my battery out and put it in again, I was able to restart my computer. This morning I was working when I hear a loud crack. I could not figure out what the problem was, till I noticed that my computer was not standing flat and stable on the desk anymore. The bottom plate came off almost completely while the other plate seemed spring from the clue. Luckily I already had ordered a new battery because apple will eventually replace the battery but it needs up to 6 weeks to send me a new battery or make a decision to send me a new battery. I have made pictures so I do have proof if they decide not to renew the battery. My battery is bulging at right upper bottom corner.

Sucks. Just get the battery changed and get rid of the problem, no big deal. pcg: I didn’t have that problem but I’ve read from several places about other people experiencing that. Sucks.

And this is what I and the support guy came up to: the problem isn't the battery, it's the computer that's the source of my problems. This is because I have the same problems now with my second battery as well as I had with my first. Summa summarum - it's not the battery, it's the computer. So he basically told me to hand in my computer to a local Apple certified technician, and thereafter get a new computer. It's not an insurance issue so I'll get a new computer using my guarantee. Hopefully I'll helped someone who could have the same problem.
