Sophia - my experience on new Ti and Al books since 2001 is that the  
battery life is between 1 and 2 years.  I am  sure that your battery  
(if it is the original) is at least 2y old, as the 667 must be that  
old at least, so my view is that the battery is probably due for  
replacement.

Normally the batteries "fade" - hold their charge for less and less  
time, before dying, but the failure can be quite quick - within a  
week or so, once it starts.
Did you get any warning signs, or was it sudden failure?

If you can borrow one for a minute from an Apple shop, or a friend,  
and just replace it, that will show for sure if it is the battery  
itself or something else.

PS: I use my old battery to lift the backend of my 'book off the  
desk, to improve the airflow....
