I searched for this issue but could not find it...

Macbook 2.0GHz 2GB Ram, 120GB HD, Intel Core Duo

I replaced the Ram and HD a few months ago with no issues. One day I decided to let the battery run down to powersaver mode to calibrate the battery. The battery no long puts the computer into sleep mode it just dies.

I went to apple support forums and tried to reset pram but I still have the same problem. I called apple and the tech I talked to wanted me to send in the whole computer. What?

I next went to an apple store and that tech said it was a software issue and I should archive and install OSX.4 again. I have not tried this since I may upgrade to Leopard soon anyway...

I can't be the only person that has had this problem. Does anyone have any ideas?
 
I think I figured out the problem. My macbook had battery update 1.3 From what I can tell 1.3 is only for the macbook pro. I deleted this file and then downloaded battery update 1.2 and that fixed the problem.
