Hi. Just checking whether I get a warning when my macbook battery is reaching the end of its life. I wouldn't like the computer to crash because of a suddenly-can't-take-any-more-charging battery. When the battery on my G4 went dead, it happened suddenly and everything just jammed. Motherboard had to be extracted and operated on.

Another thing - my mighty mouse was playing up. As advised, I cleaned the rollerball. Everything worked well for a month. The ball's still clean but suddenly scrolling down won't work anymore (ball moves but no response). Scrolling in other directions works. I'm getting theimpression the ball in this mouse isn't heavy duty enough to take so much use.

Hi - the battery will show signs that it is coming to the end of its lifespan. For example, whereas a full charge lasted you up to 4 hours in the past it only lasts 30 minutes etc. There is a page on Apple's site dedicated to looking after notebook batteries:

Re the mouse, it is likely that some grime or fluff is trapped inside the scrollball housing. I would suggest that you give it another, more thorough clean and if it plays up again consider changing it.

Hope it works out!
