#Shut in 2016 plot software

Also, I have a windows partition on this machine and I tried booting into that instead, and the same thing happens, so it's not specific to OSX.Īny suggestions? I'm planning on buying a new laptop, but it's not going to arrive for a while, so I'd like to get this one limping along for at least another few days.

The internet suggests that this usually happens due to a software issue, but given the previous battery problems I'm guessing that's not the case here. If I plug it in and press the power button, it will begin the startup sequence, but a few seconds in it will shut down and then restart, and keep doing this forever until I unplug it for turn it off. This is a new battery that I got replaced about a year ago (the old battery was having similar problems), so either the new battery is faulty or there's some deeper problem with the machine that's causing the battery to deteriorate much faster than it should.Īnyway, it got to the point where the battery wouldn't go above 6% no matter how long I left it plugged in, and then yesterday the computer shut down and won't start up at all. (Trying to start it up after one of these occurrences gave a 'low battery' error, so my guess is that the battery charge display wasn't getting an accurate reading.) It wouldn't last as long when not plugged in, and sometimes it would shut down abruptly even while the battery still showed 40% or more. It wouldn't change all the way up to 100% anymore, and over time the maximum charge level that it would display got lower and lower. Over the past few months, the battery performance started deteriorating rapidly.
