Can't remove the battery

Hi, I know it's a problem hardly resolvable via internet, but... Why not to ask? I want to remove the battery of my mbp because I guess that by using directly the power plug I could prolong the battery life (isn't it?). BUT I am not been able to remove it: I push the buttons until the red appear and I hear the click, but then the battery is still blocked. There is some special procedure?
(sorry for my english)

To remove the battery
- Shut down the computer (or put it to sleep). Disconnect any cords connected to the computer.
- Turn the computer over.
- Locate the battery release latches on each side of the battery.
- Slide both latches up. The battery should pop up slightly.
- Lift the battery out.

  • CAMILEO P10 - How to remove the battery ?

    Hello,
    How can i remove the battery from my CAMILEO P10 ?
    I wanna use two batterys, but can't remove the first :(
    PLS HELP !
    Thanks in advance !

    Hi
    The battery is placed at the bottom of the camera near the SD card slot.
    It should not be very tricky to remove the battery.
    You need to push out the cover which secures the battery bay in order to get access to the battery. Then press the battery inwards to release it.

    If you have your MBP charger, try a SMC reset:

  • Can't remove swollen battery

    The tragic situation is pictured in the photo.
    The battery is so swollen it has lifted the trackpad which cannot click anymore. Also the the bottom side of the case has been deformed and the laptop cannot sit straight on the surface...
    The problem is that I owned a Phillips #O screwdriver, and not a #00 one which is supposed to be the one to use to open up this Macbook Pro model (13" mid 2010).
    The #00 is in the mail, I ordered it. Since the situation was getting worse I rushed to open up the Macbook with the #0 and succeded. But I can't for the life of me remove the battery screws.
    Will I be able to do that withe the #00? I just can't take them off. They seem to be a bit different than those used for the case.
    Please tell me I'll be able to remove them with the #00, else I won't be able to use the laptop ever again.
    One more question: I bought this in 2010, so it is less than 5 years old. And the battery ha snow rapidly decayed...is this normal at all? Will Apple help me in any way if I contact them?
    Unfortunately I live in Italy where there are no "Genius bars".
    Thank you
    ps: I wonder if I'll be able to fix the trackpad at least if I ever succed in removing the battery.

    It's too bad, you need 5.5 mm tri-wing screw and 13.5 mm tri-wing screw drivers to remove the battery.

  • How can I use the battery and let it be perfectly healthy?

    Hello everybody!
    I love this forum because everyone is a great helpful person.. .. However, I'd like to ask you couple things about the MacBook battery...
    I know that now the battery has been improved, it leasts longer and it can support 1000 charging cycles.
    (Right now I'm performing the battery calibration)
    I'd like to know how can I use the battery and let it be perfectly healthy.
    For instance,
    1) If I connect the laptop to the MagSafe and let it charge, when should I remove the plug from the Mac and when should I put it in charge? I don't wanna continously waste cycles and let my battery die too soon (it's too young to die! :-D ) .. I use it mainly at home connected to the MagSafe: someone tell that even if you leave the MagSafe connected after the mac has been charged it stops charging (I can see this), and others say that is not a good thing to let the mac connected to the plug for a long time... with the old model I used to disconnect the battery from the mac so I didn't have these problems but with the new one it's a long procedure...
    2) I usually use to calibrate the battery once a month... Is it a good thing?
    Thanks!
    Andrea

  • To switch the mac off i have to remove the battery...

    My macbook is a 2007 model.
    I unfortunately dropped sweet water on it. Of course i saw it hours later and it didn't work...
    So i opened the machine, cleaned everything with clean water, then dried it with a hairdryer.
    Once everything was dry, for sure, i reassembled the mac, but i have some problems now.
    On the motherboard i pushed a black button, and it's impossible to unpush... i guess it's a kind of overcloaking ? Why can't it get unpushed ? So now the computer starts, but the keyboard doesn't work, and to switch the mac off i have to remove the battery...
    Is it because of this button ? (couldn't get anything about it on the net...). Is it "just" because of the water ?
    Thanx in advance

    i also have a safari issue outstanding for a couple of weeks and am now wondering if this is part of the issue?

  • Want to reduce your MacBook temperature, remove the battery.

    From http://xlr8yourmac.com/
    Want to reduce your MacBook temperature, remove the battery.
    When we were testing V0.5 of SpeedIt we discover a strange behavior, if we remove the battery of our MacBook the temperature drop because the maximum operational frequency of the CPU become reduce to 1.0 Ghz.
    We were investigating more on this, and we found why this happen, the SMC subsystem when battery is not detected, activate the Thermal Trip indicator and the CPU get into Thermal Throttle, reducing the frequency to 1.0 Ghz and minimum voltage.
    You will find this and other "hidden features" with the documentation of the upcomming version of SpeedIt.
    We decided to published this in advance because a user "no-one" write about this matter on the forums. He is a good tester we'll liek to take him in account . More information on the forums.
    Apple Mac Intel SMC Firmware Update
    We have been testing the lasted firmware update and the conclusions are:
    * The fans run at more revolutions always.
    * The Temperature drop more or less between 5 to 10 ºC
    * The voltage values of the CPU change.
    * The MacBook is cooler but more noise.
    * To get into sleep need a minimum of 5 seconds, after
    you close your lid.
    * Don't put in your bag until you hear that the fan
    stop, some times the MacBook don't get into sleep.
    More detailed report and data soon.

    yeah its pretty ridiculous that an individual pays all that money for a machine that Apple continually trumpet to be better than a PC machine and then it falls down at these niggly little turns.
    Other machines, can run at full speed with battery of, no ?
    Why is it ridiculous ?
    If I use my unit for some hardcore music / video editing sessions, I will take it off the battery so Im not constantly charging / recharging the battery - is that ridiculous ?
    Am I going to be pis%£% when my expensive machine, I paid mad dough for is going to perform like a snail as opposed to what it can really - YOU BET !
    "Beeing a picky customer is a MUST in this case. I realy don`t understand the people who are trying to protect this company no matter what happens. You HAVE to remember that it is not a privilage for you that you own Mac. It is a privilage FOR Apple that you decided to spend big time money on their products. It is your DUTY to be picky and strict."

  • Will removing the battery format the drive?

    Hi,
    My girlfriend has a Macbook unibody A1342. It was working fine until I updated it to mavericks. Noe the USB's don't work. So after trying everything (reset pram nvram etc etc) the only other option I can find is to remove the battery for about 60 seconds...then plug it back in again.
    Will this mess her drive up? Will it mean I have to reinstall OSX?
    I know it probably won't but I really wanted to double check first as I can't save anything from it to USB or external.
    Thanks!!!

    Well none of the above has worked so far. I ordred a powered usb hub that still doesn't get recognised. The hub itself is fine as it works on my macbook pro and also a windows pc I tried it on.
    The hub will light up without the external power (usb cable only) when plugging it into either usb port on the macbook a1432. So this tells me there's definitely power getting in there. The macbook just doesn't show anything or detect anything plugged into it even with external power.
    The iPhone doesn't charge either.
    This is driving me crazy. All my girlfriend want's to do is be able to sync her new iPhone to her itunes so she can put music on it and back it up. Wifi option isn't optional at the moment as the iPhone has never been synced to this particular computer.
    Thanks

  • How do you remove the battery from the Zen V? (Broken alread

    I'm so frustrated. I just bought my Zen V yesterday. Last night, I installed the software, charged the battery, added songs, and everything was going well. Today, after listening to it for a few hours, I reconnected the player to my computer so it could charge. About and hour or so into charging, the whole unit shut down and now nothing I do turns it back on. I've tried to reinstall the software. I've try to disconnect and reconnect it to the computer. And I've tried to stick a paper clip into the reset button.
    Nothing. It's like it's completely dead, which is ridiculous considering I just bought this thing yesterday evening! I haven't even had it 24 hours yet. So now I'm going to try removing the battery (if that's possible), and if not, I'm afraid I'm just going to have to break down and get an iPod.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I feel your pain. I just bought a Zen M about 4 weeks ago and it too is broken. The screen will just show the logo when reseted, other than that its just blank. Altho LED and button lights indicated it is on and doesn't go off. Also my computer will sometime reconise it but the programs wont.
    Sure, i can just take it back and get a new one, but the fact is i have spent hours if not days putting songs on it and will be real pissed off if i loose them on because there is no back ups on my computer.
    If any one can tell me how to pull an miricle, be for i give up and take it back would be apreciated or if same problem happened to them, let me know if they lost all their songs.
    Cheers

  • When I remove the battery charger my computer shuts down completely and won't start until I plug the charger back in

    When I remove the battery charger the computer completely shuts down and won't start up without the battery charger. I have to restart all my windows when I turn it back on. Before it would just go to sleep and if it was charged it would come back on without batter. Any suggestions on what this can be?

    I dropped my Samsung slide phone and now it won't lock or anything.  I've already removed the battery and it didn't help,  Any suggestions?

        Oh no! Sounds like your phone has sustained physical damage pctrackmom. Do you have insurance? If so, you can process a claim for a replacement at http://bit.ly/07CrqPK at your convenience.

  • Can you charge the battery for too long?

    I know that with cell phones if you leave the charger in for too long the battery starts to lose life. Is it the same way with the macbook or did the engineers work out a way that you can keep the charger connected for as long as you want and it won't drain battery life?
    I'd like to charge the battery whenever I go to sleep but I'm afraid that it will have charged too much by the time I wake up. I learned that the hard way with my cell phone, which seems to lose power much quicker than it used to.

    Hi,
    since Apple recommends to never remove the battery while running the MacBook on AC-power, it is the logical conclusion.

  • Network icon disappear...and It appears again when I remove the battery!

    Hi to everyone.
    This "strange" issue appears now on a lot of pcs so it must be something that someonelse have experienced...
    WIndows XP SP3 with italian multilanguage installed, pcs are Lenovo T400, X200 and  X200 tablets.
    Sometime happens that the network icon (wireless and lan) doesn't appear on the taskbar, and when this happens you are not able to open the network connections.
    The "funny" thing is that if you remove the battery from the laptop, the network icon appear again and network connection magically opens! I've tried to update pcs drivers but without any remarkable result.
    Has someone reported a similar issue?

    Any suggestions on what this can be?
