Battery isn't charging after reset smc...

My battery won't charge even after smc reset and I have the charging light when I connect power dim. With pressing option and pressing status in battery it says condition:normal. I have done and nvram reset. Nothing. Status says that battery isn't charging and I have done only 344 cycles charge. The macbook (late 2009) works correctly when on power only. Please can you help me?

My apologies. I now see there is a battery forum. I can't seem to delete my own question however.

My battery is not charging after resetting my SMC

So my fan started going all crazy like so I resetted my SMC but now my computer charge will be off and on. Like it worked just a few mintues ago but when I got up my computer restarted itself and my fans went all crazy like again. So I restarted the SMC once again but that one didn't last long until my fans acted up.

Thats my battery information as of right now and I'm contemplating on going to a mac store to just take it in to see what the problem is, only problem is the closes one is about an hours drive :/

How long was it off charge to drop from 5149 to 1054 mAh on the battery?
If not actually doing anything looks like a good reason to visit an Apple Retail store genius bar and have it checked.

Battery isn't charging, randomly crashes

Currently my battery isn't charging (at all).
Before this instance, I had to plug and unplug the magsafe a couple of times before it eventually started charging. Unfortunately, I tried another adapter and it also took a few tried before the laptop started charging.
I just got done resetting SMC and PRAM, so that didn't help any.
Also, my laptop has started to completely shut off without warning. Sometimes the battery indicator claims it has charge, other times it says it is completely empty (even though it is actually full when I get the charger to play nice with it).
Here's the details from Profiler:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 1410
Fully charged: No
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 6288
Health Information:
Cycle count: 543

Battery Installed: Yes

Side Note: The lappy isn't under warrantee anymore so I was hoping to avoid a trip to the Genius Bar.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

My MacBook Pro is plugged in and running on power from the power adaptor, but the battery isn't charging - what do I do?

The magnetic charger and port are clear and clean and clicking into place smoothly.
My Mac has had 2% power for the past few hours but is running on power from the power adaptor.
But the battery isn't charging - what do I do?
Thanks!

Depending on the model of MBP, buy a new battery or take it in for servicing to get a new battery. You could also try an SMC reset to see if that helps, but your symptoms don't sound like the ones normally solved by a SMC reset.

Battery is not charged after using all of my battery. what's wrong? is it about charge machine or my computer?

Of course it isn't — you've just drained it. Plug your AC adapter in and charge it up again.

Battery isn't charging on my Satellite A350-220

Hey, I have a HUGE list of problems (some that can't be fixed) on my laptop that's 5 months old but let's start with the most urgent problem.
The battery isn't charging all the time. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, it's quite random... Sometimes it even says it's charging but it isn't. It just stays at 30% for example.
I have windows 7 and newest bios. Tried rebooting, placing battery after boot with cable and no battery etc. Nothing seems to fix the problem. Tried reinstalling drivers. Nothing.

> How to make the laptop charge the battery properly?
It is always easier to ask something like this as get proper answer.
Be honest what can you do about it? You can start your notebook on AC power supply only and when OS is loaded you can put battery in place in hope battery load will starts.
If this will not help there is maybe some problem with power supply electronic and this must be fixed by authorized personal only.

Battery is not charging after once full discharge

hi,
I have Z60m 2530-A58 which is not charging it says: battery error has occured replace the battery , after once it was fully discharge to 0% but my notebook was only 1.5 year old what problem has occured can anyone suggest me pls......................
pls help i am using ubuntu 8.10 and windows xp both

Ok, I assume motherboard is aged or damaged somehow. Maybe it has been on plug for four or five years. It is late 2006's model.
First of all, I was be able to see it charging while it was connected to the MagSafe Power Adapter 85w then I close the lid and put it aside on the end table. I did not touch it for a few days. The white led was on in first few days then it become dim and fade out. I was puzzled and looked at the MagSafe Power Adapter connector on the MacBook Pro. It shows green led, which is still on power.
Secondly, I decided to open it and nothing happens then pressed the power button. It will boot up and open from the beginning. It did not hibernate or showing as resume after shutdown. I looked at the bottom of MacBook Pro's battery area. I press the small button to see how much battery left. It was on dead zero. This is why I called it drained out power.
Thirdly, I decided to check the Apple website to see what's wrong with it. Most of the forums said that SMC needs to be reseted since I could see the X mark on the battery icon. After I reseted the SMC, I could see the "Battery is not charging".
If I unplugged the connector, it will lose the power and shut down immediately without being shutdown properly.
Hmm?

My iPod thinks is connected and full charged after reset

Hi, I don't know if any of you have had this problem, I searched already through google and this site and couldn't find anything.
My iPod (silver G2 mini with 4 GB) shows full charged and connected (the full battery with the lighting) after every reset. It becomes a problem because you can't then know how much battery you really have and if you turn it off the screen won't turn off because it shows the charged icon. Also you can't avoid the reset because if the iPod runs out of battery it will reset itself.
It will only go away if I connect it to a computer, reset it and then eject it, it doesn't however work if I connect it to a normal wall or car charger, only the computer.
Any suggestions?, I've already resetted it in any possible way, even restored it with Updater.
Thanks.

how long have you had your ipod? mine did the same but after a while you need to get a new one because of the battery...

Battery won't charge after 10.8.5 update

I have a mid-2010 white 13" Macbook with battery charges over 1000 cycles (exceeding it's life expectancy, I know). Despite this, the battery has mantained its charge immaculately. However, immediately upon updating to ML 10.8.5 the battery will not charge and says "Condition: Replace Now." I have reset the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM to no avail. I find it hard to accept that the battery died simultaneously with the software upgrade, leading me to believe that ML 10.8.5 will not support batteries with over 1000 cycles. Do I have any other options than restoring the old software or purchasing a new battery?
Apparently this guy is having the exact same problems, but there's no solution yet

Battery isn't charging, what's the problem?

I'm having problems with my battery again (3rd time, yay!). This started yesterday, everything was peachy the day prior. Can anyone assist? (hoping this is some silly operator error...)
-The power is failing when the AC adaptor is unplugged, but the menu bar says I have 10% battery charge left.
-The battery is not charging when the AC adaptor is connected. The light is on, but I checked in System Profiler. It recognizes the battery is installed but says it isn't charging. (yes, the outlet is live)
-I tried both cords for the AC adaptor.
*Battery Info from System Profiler*
Full Charge mAh: 2444
Remaining Charge mAh: 256
Cycle Count: 149
This is my 3rd battery for this notebook. The first one was recalled, the replacement failed shortly after and I bought the current one in May '08. (Serial: 3K8080HJT70C) What am I doing wrong?
Oh yeah, and my AC charger is new (6 months).

First, the battery. The recalled battery replacements have not held up well, and, unfortunately, feedback on the Apple site isn't what I would call complementary about their batteries. When I replaced mine, I got a Newer Technology battery from OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/BAP17AL60RS/ . Mine has 104 cycles on it and 4113 mAh capacity.
Now, charging. There are only 4 components in the charging circuit: Power adapter, DC-in card, battery and logic board. It sounds like your power adapter, being newer, is probably fine. Where the power adapter plugs into the computer, is that jack loose? If you put a pen or pencil on it and push it a little, gently, does it wiggle side-to-side? If so, your DC-in card may be bad. Assuming the battery stats are good and the battery is good, it should charge. Sooo, last but not least, is the logic board. Probably the best thing you can do is find a friend with a Powerbook or visit an Apple store or Apple authorized service provider to use another power supply that they know works (just to be sure) and a substitute battery (again, to be sure). If indeed yours are good, and I went through this a few months ago with one of our Powerbooks, you can replace the DC-in card, and if that doesn't work, then the logic board.
If you want Apple to do that, have them send it to the Apple depot, where they'll do whatever is required to put the Powerbook in close to new condition. Put an old, bad, Apple battery in it, so they'll replace it. Cost runs around $350 if the case isn't banged up, and if it is, the price can go up. When ours went in, they replaced the logic board and put a new battery in. Of course ensure your data is backed up, and if anything is really confidential, move it onto an encrypted disk on your hard drive or back it up and delete it.
If you have the store replace the logic board, it will run you more than double what they charge to send it to the depot.

Battery does not charge after rescue & recovery

Hi,
Yesterday I set up my computer fresh from the preload on the harddrive due to slowness, instabilities, inability to use VPN etc. After the reinstallation of OS and securiy updates, my battery does not charge anymore. The battery indicator on the front panel keeps blinking, and the Lenovo message center reports that irrepairable damage has been done to the battery and that it must be replaced.
My battery is not among the recalls by Lenovo.
Any idea if there's any option but buying a new battery? It just does not seem right that the battery is unusable after new OS setup.
Cheers, Thorbjorn

IMac won't turn on after resetting SMC

Recently my 2011 iMac starts uttering strange noise even if the fan speed is low so I decided to reset SMC this morning. However, after unplugging for 15 sec and plug again. it just won't start! No matter how I pressed the power button, there is no reaction coming from my iMac. I tried to long press for 10 more seconds, re-unplug and plug in, and tried another socket on the wall but in vain. Do you have other ideas 'cause I have not backup my data and hope to grab something output before sending it to the APPLE store. Thanks.

If you get no video or audio at all and you have confirmed it's not the power source or power cord then that indicates your power supply may have failed.

Battery isn't charging - Thinkpad E531

Dear Lenovo,
I was using Windows 7 but I have recently changed to Windows 8.1.
In Win7 I was able to install and use the Lenovo Power Management software and I changed the battery threshold to 40-50%.
After I installed Win8.1, I realized there is not any E531 Power Management software for Windows 8.1 therefore I cannot charge my battery above 50%.
It looks like the power management software makes somekind of hardware related changes otherwise it should not remember my previous settings what I made it in Win7.
How can I change the thresholds without reinstalling windows 7 and power management software?
Could you give me a link to a usable Thinkpad E531 Power Management software for Windows 8.1 (which is 100% working)?
Any other solution?
Thank you!

Hi Tray86,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with battery not charging beyond 50% on your ThinkPad E531.
You have to change the setting from Lenovo dependency setting to always full charge, please visit the below link and follow the steps from that.

Battery isn't charging... PLEASE HELP!

Hi all,
The problem is pretty much in the title.
The charger is plugged in with ~6% battery life left. It is running on power from the mains, but it says that it isn't charging.
For the exact message: "Plugged in, not charging"
Why is it doing this and how can i fix it?
Thank you for any help given!
Jack

THis is also happening to my computer. The same exact issue. My computer is three weeks old. I didn't notice a problem withn my computer until I unplugged it and tried to use it and it shut off. I noticed the batery had 0% charge. I contacted HP and they did the battery diagnostic and it showed a bad battery. They sent a new battery and I plugged it in to charge. It is a week later and now I checked to see if it is at 100% (its been plugged in for four days without unplugging, and shutting it down at night, giving it all night to charge while off) and the battery is now at 18% and reading "Plugged in, Not charging." It isn't draining the power, since apparently its running off the plug, but it is not charging. New battery, same problem. I am trying to get HP to help, but haven't heard back from the person that has been emailing me.
