Hi guys

I just love days like this. Few days ago, my Macbook pro was acting weird when connecting to Internet through my Nokia E51 (via bluetooth). It connected fine once, then it didn't find modem on Nokia, while sync was working fine. After reboot of phone and laptop it was working fine again, then not etc. Fine nothing special, it's been working 8 or 9 months without any problems, so it slowly deserves clean install, even though timing was a bit bad, because I had to send photos, deadline was coming closer and closer, and no wi-fi was anywhere near.
Anyway... I went to reinstall everything (it helped with Windows, so why wouldn't with Mac OSX). When making backup, deactivating Photoshop..., I noticed my battery meter in top right corner was showing black X. Ok another thing which will be solved after reinstall. Wrong! This black X is still there, and my laptop acts like stationary computer. As soon as I plug power cable out, it shuts off, while battery meter tells me "No batteries available". Did anyone have something like this already? If so, what was solution? I already tried all weird combinations of reset like Command+Option+P+R, unplugging power and batter and holding power button for 5 sec, etc.
It's going to service tomorrow, and I will survive for day or two with just Pocket PC, but for weekend, I a bit bigger thing, and sending 30 or so photos through PPC is not really best option, so would kinda need it. So it would really help if I would know what to expect.
PS: Yes I checked, I didn't lose battery, and noone stole it either, so battery is still there :p
