Lately I've had a problem that seems like it's something wrong with the PMU, but I don't know anything about that sort of thing. When my battery runs out, my MBP doesn't sleep, it just dies. When I plug it back in and boot up, the battery life indicator says the battery is 33% full, but it's obviously totally drained. I can't recalibrate the battery in the usual way, because it's not possible to let it drain until it sleeps. Ideas?

Call Apple. They'll send you a new battery. It's a known defect in some earlier batteries.

Darn. Sorry for reposting a known issue... I had read about the battery exchange, but the reason Apple has posted is overheating and swelling, so I was hoping this was something else that could be easily fixed before I get around to ordering that new battery.
