Battery heating up, now it is Not Charging

For a while I have had the issue of my macbook becoming very warm when charging, or in use. And it would often say not charging, then i would have to remove and insert the charger a few times before it would work.
Now it is not charging at all, and the battery is at 0%.

If the heat is coming from the battery itself, you probably need a new one. If you're near an Apple Store or third-party service depot, they have a diagnostic they can run to determine if your battery has failed and needs to be replaced. Depending on your model, the battery may be something you can swap out, or would need to be done with a special tool.

    Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
    From that article
    "Portables with built-in batteries"
    Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

    Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
    I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

  • My iphone will not power on - when plugged in the battery will display, but it does not charge

    My iphone ran out of battery a few days ago, and now it will not charge back up. Its been plugged in for over a day, when the home button is pressed it displays a battery with 3 small red bars. I was able to get it into recovery mode and restore factory settings - but this did not solve the problem! it is still not turning on. I have tried changing chargers etc. already and i believe it is a problem with the phone. please help!

    Could be a battery problem. You'll have to visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider to Apple Store to get it checked for hardware issues.

    Hi,
    I would like to ask you a question.
    a month ago I bought a battery case for iPhone 5 and it worked properly until I installed iOS 7. From that day my iphone is operating normally, BUT when the battery is empty, unfortunately I can not charge additionally my iphone with the "extra battery case".
    Does that mean that you did not even create a new software that supports additional battery case or it is something else?
    I need your help!!,
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    VK

    The Mophie Air is a good battery case, but doesn't offer the protection she's looking for. I suggest sticking to the Lifeproof, the iPhone has a very good battery (2-3 days moderate usage for me).
    To your 2nd to last paragraph, that is false. Verizon is allowing exisiting customers to keep Unlimited Data - but will lose it once they use a subsidized upgrade. So if you buy a 4S (or LTE device for example) outright, you will keep unlimited data. Mobile hotspot may use up a bit of data, but it is a separate add-on/feature. The new Family Share plans may change that, so it's one giant center of data all devices use.

  • My bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign )

    my bb 9380 won't turn on while the screen shows one battery sign with red cross mark ( not charging sign ), i think the battery drained and switch it for charging but it will show only not charging sign . i bought this phone before 9 months, whats the solution for this ?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I updated my iphone  to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!1

    i updated my iphone  to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!

    I upgraded my iPhone 4 last evening to iOS 6, the upgrade completed and the device was usable. Then in the morning I went to the device to check E-mail, Voice Messages, Test Messages, etc... and the phone was dead. I tried plugging the device into a charger (for a couple of hours) - still dead. Plugged into computer with iTunes, device not recognized or discovered, and iPhone was still dead... Took the iPhone into an Apple Store and the Technician looked it over for any visible signs of defect/malfunction, then performed various tasks to breathe life into the phone - nothing... His suggestion, at this point, was to replace the phone. He speculated that the iOS upgrade possibly corrupted the iPhone's charging firmware, and that this device was now a BRICK. Keep in mind that the phone and it's charging abilities were perfectly fine prior to the iOS Upgrade. I hate to go through the replacement hassle and the cost ($159.00) when the iOS upgrade caused the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Charge it with the supplied power brick plugged into the wall.
    Most USB ports don't put out enough power for the iPad so the best way is plugged into the wall.

  • Brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen, tried to restore it and the battery died now it will not charge or switch on

    Hello everyone I brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen and it all worked fab except it wouldn't let me put any new apps on it so my friend suggested I restore it which I did but while it was restoring the battery died. Now it doesn't seem to be charging and I have left it for ages through the laptop and tried it through a geniune apple plug in charger but its not working. When you plug in the cable to the laptop or plug the little grey apple comes up on the screen but only stays on for about 5 maybe 6 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions on apple but none of its worked, Shall we just bin it and learn from our mistakes.
    Thank you to anyone who can help

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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

  • Battery good, Ac Adapter Good, Computer not charging battery or staying on

    My sisters 14inch ibook g4 will not stay on. We swapped my ac adapter with hers and her ac adapter works on my ibook. Swapped her battery with mine and her battery works on my ibook. So her battery is good and her adapter is good but computer will only stay on while battery has a charge otherwise is turns off (even while ac adapter is plugged in). Reset power management and all other posted ideas and now I have no idea what to do. The enegry status shows "battery not charging" and its plugged into a regular ac outlet so I am not sure why it says that except the fact its not charging..errr...I am starting to think it's a hardware issue... any opinions?

    It sounds like the power input (DC-in) board has failed. This is the part of the iBook which houses the adapter port. The iBook is acting just like my husband's did when the power input board was damaged.

    Hi
    I have a similar problem. Battery was not working. Macbook needed power lead connected or it died. Went to the Apple shop in Aberdeen. They prescribed a new battery which I bought from them. I have now removed the old battery and installed the new one. The charge indicator on the battery shows 2 of the 5 green lights indicating at least partial charge. The power cable is showing green light only. I have tried two different power cables and both do the same. The battery indicator at top right of screen has an X in it indicating no charging going on. I have followed the instructions in Article HT3964 to reset the SMC, tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM but it didn't work - I pressed the CMD, shift, P and R keys simultaneously The Article HT1379 referred to the Command-Option-P-R keys. What is the option key? Is it the shift (as in up arrow) key?
