My battery is not being recognized by my computer anymore. I have tried an SMC reset and used multiple chargers
I am using a Late 2011 MacBook Pro 15'. Does this mean I need to replace the battery? It will only turn on when plugged in.
Also unrelated to this...when I try to eject the cd in my disc drive it will not respond. The cd is basically stuck inside and even hitting eject in Finder does nothing.

So I just unplugged and plugged the battery back in. Works completely fine now and a lot of startup issues went away.

  • My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What are my next steps?

    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first time using the forum. My macbook battery will not charge. I have tried unplugging and doing an SMC reset but it did not seem to change. I have yet to try another magsafe charger. The charger has a dim green light while plugged into the computer. What should my next steps be, besides trying a new charger as well as being the most cost effective?
    Thanks

    Hi ..
    The battery may need replacing.
    Check the battery maximum cycle count > Mac notebooks: Determining battery cycle count

  • Hi. my ipad battery is not charging well. max at around 20%. what do i need to do to get it working again?

    hi. my ipad battery is not charging well. max at around 20%. what do i need to do to get it working again?

    You may need to recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    Are you using the wall charger?
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • My Battery is not charging says  replace now, i have important work to finish will this harm my laptop

    Hello Guys!
    My battery out of the blue started not functioning, if i remove the charger my laptop goes off, i switch back on it shows power source only, battery is not charging "replace now" is there any way i can fix this.
    thanks in advance

    The model 6,1 Late 2009 and the model 7,1 Mid 2010 use an A1331 battery. You can replace it yourself or have take your MacBook to an Apple Store and have Apple do it for you. If you need it quickly make sure you order it from a U. S. seller. Orders from China can take two or three weeks.
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=macbook++battery+a1331&_sacat=0&_odkw=macboo k++battery+a1342&_sop=12&_osacat=0
    Here's installation instructions. You'll need a Tri Wing Y1 screwdriver in addition to the usual #00 Phillips screwdriver.
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-MacBook-Unibody-Model-A1342-Battery/1667/ 1
    You can keep using it with the power adapter until you get a new battery.

  • Almost new battery won´t charge, does not work on AC

    After spending a few days in Taiwan (110V) the battery of my PB G4, A1138 won´t charge any more. Power connector lights amber.
    After coming back to Austria, i connected the PB for 2 days and it would charge again and worked proper. Now, 2 months later, the battery again refuses to charge, coconut battery & system profiler say that there is no AC power connector & battery is not charging. It won´t power up with AC connected. I did the PMU reset and PRAM reset - no effect.
    The battery is an original Apple replacement and has only 40 loading cycles. i´ve measured the voltage at the battery connector in the battery slot (3V & 6V depending on the pins), so the charger provides voltage.
    Can anybody tell, if the DC-in board is faulty or if it´s the logic board or something else?
    I´m thankfull for any advice!

    It's fairly common for the pre-MacSafe power connectors on the computer to loosen due to stress. The points where the barrel-shaped chrome connector assemble is soldered (or flowed) to the logic board lose contact and you get intermittent charing at best.
    If you connect to A/C adaptor and gently wiggle it up and down, can y ousee charging start again/ "Up" is the position where the contact should again meet.
    My 1Ghz 17" MBP will not start on A/C alone until the battery has a little charge. I don't know it's the dead internal backup battery (common) of something else that causes two good 65W power supplies to report in Profiler as 45W.

  • Equium M50 - The battery will not charge

    Hi, I need some advice regarding a charging problem on my PC.
    The battery will not charge and the level indicator shows a constant 5%.
    The machine is about 15months old and does not get hard usage, probably an average of 5-10 hours per week.Usually it's powered from the mains, so the battery tends to be kept topped up.
    Before I go and replace the battery, is there any diagnostic I can do as a user?
    Looking forward to a reply.
    many thanks
    Steve

    Hi,
    no, I dont think that it will makes any sense to perform some diagnosis because it sounds like a hardware related issue and I think it would be better to bring your machine to a authorized service partner for a hardware checkup or probably a exchange of the malfunctioning components.
    To find the nearest available service partner in your country you can try this link:

  • SMC Reset and Macbook Pro Battery still not charging

    Hi, I bought a new Macbook Pro the Christmas before last (2 years ago) and unfortunately didn't remember to buy the AppleCare. (Didn't have the money to purchase it as I was buying the computer) Anyway, today my charger decided to stop recharging the battery. The battery icon says the battery is charging but the LED light on the charger is not on at all and when I click on the battery status it says "Battery is Not Charging." I've already tried the usual troubleshooting and Resetting the SMC but it didn't work. I also checked the status on the battery and my computer said it was Normal. What else can I do? I really need this laptop for college and the battery has to be usable.

    If available, try a different charger.
    What does System Report>Power say under AC CHARGER INFORMATION?

    I'm not too sure. I knew the laptop battery needed replacing so I waited for it to die completely. But the charger light wasn't lighting up like it usually did just before the battery died. I assumed it was because of the battery running out of juice. Should I try another charger and see what happens?

    Hi all,
    I tried a different charger myself (the power source is reliable). But it does not work too. I think I need to bring it down to apple shop.
    But is quite disappointing with the new apple product I have. Cos not only my battery is not charging, my built in speaker, the sound is like broken too. So I can hear some noisy sound when I play music.
    I have a power book G4, and the power book, everything is still in good condition. Imagine how many yrs I have with the power book G4. This power book I never bring to do any services before. I sometimes really suspect is it Apple drop quality
    (cos the office new bought mac from my boss, the USB port is not working too..)
    But thanks all for the reply I think I need to bring it down to apple shop. Thanks!

  • Camileo X150 - Battery will not charge

    Hello all - I this week bought a Camileo X150 camcorder brand new. The camcorder only has power when connected to the AC adapter or USB cable. I tried to charge it on Friday, was away for 8 hours, came back and yet the battery had no power. Then last night I charge it overnight, still no power this morning.
    I have tried everything possible yet it still does not power up only when connected to AC or USB - perhaps the battery is faulty or I am doing something wrong?
    I would appreciate any help with this issue.

    You haven't done anything wrong… to charge the battery, you need to connect the AC Adaptor only… then the battery should start charging…
    But it could be possible that the battery is deeply discharged (empty) and in such case the AC adaptor should be connected at least 24 hours…
    So check it again and if the battery would not charge even if the AC adaptor would be connected for a longer period of time, get in contact with your camcorder dealer…
    Maybe the battery / camcorder is faulty.

  • Droid X battery  will not charge when phone is in vehicle mount

    Droid X battery will not charge when phone is in vehicle mount. If you plug phone directly in to car charger it charges fine. This makes using the GPS virtually useless as it runs down the battery very fast. Anyone else have this problem. Other wise I love the phone.

    Many of the Verizon Droid X car mounts have defective wires in them. This problem is widely reported on many forums and websites. You should return your product for a brand new replacement that is not defective  (that is, the car charger will charge your Droid X when it is in the car mount).
    I happen to love the Verizon Droid X car mount. Lot of ways to adjust it from different angles for different placements. Just get a Verizon Droid X car mount replacement that does not have defective wires in it, and it should work just fine!

  • Satellite L500 - Battery will not charge

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone can help me. I have a L500 and all of a sudden my battery will not charge. As soon as I unplug the laptop from the power it shuts off. I have also tried another battery (although not a brand new one) and that battery will not charge also. The battery is currently on 8% and wont charge further, but also will not stay on when unplugged. Has anyone else had this problem, or know what I can try?
    Thanks

    Hi buddy,
    Can you charge the battery when you turn off the notebook?
    Do you use the original Toshiba AC/DC adapter?
    For me it sounds like a hardware malfunction I mean if you have already tried another battery with the same result it seems that something is wrong with charging control on mainboard. This would mean the mainboard or another hardware parts needs replacing. This can be done from an authorized service provider.

  • New battery will not charge - have we missed something obvious?

    My DD has just replaced the battery on her PB. When the power supply (less than 3 months old) is attached, the led shows amber but the battery will not charge. I've tried reseating the battery with no effect. Since I purchased it from an apple dealer, I'll be taking it back tomorrow, but I wondered whether there is something obvious we've missed.
    Thanks
    Jennifer

    Thank you both. Yes I know the battery needs to be calibrated, but as you say, to calibrate, you need to charge, which is a non-starter. I'm going to take the whole thing in (again). I suspect the problem that led to the battery needing to be replaced possibly dealt a death blow to something inside. I don't know whether this is relevant, but before replacing the battery, the charger started to make a loud buzzing noise (I understand - I wasn't here), and with the old battery in place the PB kept freezing and/or rebooting. Only with the battery out and just the power supply in would the PB work. The PB is seeing the new battery, it just wont charge it. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything else I could do before taking it in.
