Battery 0% and Not Charging

The battery in my mid 2010 13" Macbook Pro was getting low so I grbbed my 85W power adapter and plugged it in, but there was no light. I tried unplugging and reconnecting it in different directions but still nothing. I figured the power adapter was dead so I purchased a new 60W adapter and it won't charge the computer either. On both adapter the Battery Condition reads Normal and Battery is Not Charging. When plugged in with the 60W Power Source is Listed as the Power Adapter and when plugged into the 85W it is listed as running on batery. My battery is now at 0% and Not Charging. I have tried resetting the SMC but it didn't help. What should I do now?

    Bring it in for service.  Anytime hardware test detects an error, that's an indication the service department needs to fix it.

  • X1 (1286) main battery good condition at 1% and not charging

    Hello,
    I recently noticed that the main battery is no longer charging. It is now at 1% and not charging when AC plugged in (screenshots of powermanager attached). Power Mgr says it is in good condition. Since I usually have the slice battery attached on the road or AC plugged in at home, it has always been in Optmize for Health mode.
    The battery gauge reset procedure was performed and hasn't helped.
    I've run the battery firmware update utility and it has stated that battery firmware is up to date.
    And as always the case, 1yr warranty expired  3weeks ago 
    I'll try updating BIOS (1.66) to latest, which I believe is 1.69, and post back if any success. 
    Any clues please? Thanking you in advance.

    Thanks for responding Jin and helping out.
    Unfortunately updating bios and power manager hasn't resolved this. The new version of power manager 6.54 dispays same battery details.
    Furthermore, i am now noticing that the slice battery charges to only 80%  despite setting charge mode to fully charge. Could be experiencing this problem (x1 slice battery won't pass 80% unless internal battery is 100%) too, unfortunately no answers to that post.
    In the process to updating drivers via LSC but not holding my breath 

  • The battery icon says "Not Charging" and the light on the charger isn't lighting up either?

    I fell while my macbook was in my bag. It was already dead but when I went to put the charger in it wouldn't light up. To my surprise it still turned on but it said "(Not Charging)". I unplugged it multiple times and reset the PRAM and everything and it's still the same. It's as if I always need my macbook to be plugged in for it to work and not charge at all. Is it the internal battery? What else could I possibly do to resolve the issue?

    Try taking the battery out and looking at it. If you don't see any visible damage, put it back in and see if taking it out fixed the problem.

  • When I plug my ipad in to charge its just coming up with a red bar in the charge icon and not charging

    When i plug in my ipad to charge its just coming up with a red bar in the recharge icon and not charging.... what does this mean and how can it be fixed... checked all cables, not broken

    First make sure you are using the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a good wall outlet. When the iPad battery is completely drained it may take some time on the charger before the iPad responds. Be patient and let the iPad remain on the charger for at least an hour then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is at 100%. If the iPad does not restart Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Macbook Pro, charger plugged in but NOT lit up and NOT charging

    I have my MacBook Pro plugged in to the charger but the green light on the charger is NOT lit up and the battery indicator states "Not Charging."  Any ideas/suggestions?

    Check the connections both at the MBP and the charger for dirt, debris and discoloration.  The pins in the charger connection should move freely.
    Wall outlet live?
    Test the charger on another Mac.  Try a functional charger on your MBP.
    Try a SMC reset:

  • G 505S "Plugged in and not charging" (Tried everything!!!)

    Hi everyone!
    I hope someone in the community can help me out. I've tried calling in to Lenovo and I've only been disapointed and VERY ANGRY with Lenovo so I hope someone here can help me.
    My G505s has never properly charged the battery. The battery icon says "plugged in and not charging". I've tried everything, replacing the battery, uninstalling the Microsoft Battery driver, uninstalling Lenovo energy management etc.
    I've tried the work arounds I've found online to no sucess.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone ran in to this with the G505s and found a fix?
    Thanks!

    hi apb1019
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums and sorry to hear about your battery problem.
    The plugged-in not charging message is usually triggered when the Lenovo Energy Management / Lenovo Energy Manager is set to Optimized Batteyr Health (Win8) or Conservation Mode (Win8.1)
      - Link to picture
      - Link to picture
    Just to verify:
    1. When you uninstalled the energy management software, are you getting a 0% available, plugged-in not charging message or 60% available, plugged-in not charing ?
     - Link to picture
    2. Have you tried charging the battery (for an hour or two) while the computer is off?
      - Link to picture
    If the battery doesn't get fully charge while the computer is off then it's likely that the battery is failing. In this case, I recommend you contact Lenovo one more time on how to go about getting the unit serviced (they'll most likely send you a new battery).

  • My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too

    My iphone 3gs is totally dead and not charging if I will connect to power connector too
    It shows only the battery charging sign when I will coonect to power connector and press menu button. But if I will put it for whole day or night too , It is not charging.
    Please tell me what I can do.
    I am so frustate.
    Please help me.
    Thanks

    Are you currently plugging it into a computer? If so, try plugging it into a USB power adapter. It's possible that you're trying to charge it from a low-power USB port, and that's not enough to sustain your phone and get it charging.
    If you're still unable to get it to charge, schedule a visit with your local genius bar at apple.com/retail

  • IPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update

    iPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update. Pls help me. I have tested my charger. Its working in another device. But my iPad 2 is not charging with other adapters too. What to do??

    Hello, 92.romil. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would make sure you are using an Apple branded cable with your iPad.  If you are, the troubleshooting steps in the article below may help.  The steps listed below for the iPhone and iPod still apply to your iPad. 
    Resolving issues
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

  • Battery status showing "not charging" when power adapter is plugged in

    I just bought a brand new Magsafe adapter 60w for my macbook but it seems that when i plugged in to my macbook, the battery status showed "not charging".  I have to disconnect and plug in again.  This also happened when I used my previous power adapter, that is why I got a new one.  Is this a common problem?  Please advise what could be done.

    Hi
