Battery charging and power adaptor issues

I'm having slight issues with both my power adaptor and the battery itself.
First I think I have cord issues as the light status can change from dim green to red or bright green if I move the cord around.
Second, my MBP is having trouble recognising if power is going to the battery or if it's charging etc. It can recognise if there's no adaptor connected at all, but if there's an adaptor connected, it has trouble seeing if there's power coming from the adaptor even if the light is on. I.e. it can stay at 100% and supply comes from the power adaptor and then suddenly drop to 80% power and start charging agan. One issue that happened earlier today was the adaptor was connected, and the battery indicator was at 100% with supply from the adaptor. Suddenly the MBP shutdown, and when I rebooted it was at 17% (I've tried repeating that in case of a dodgy battery but I couldn't)

If that doesn't help, the problem could be the adapter, the battery, or the I/O board (or a couple of less likely things). If you can borrow another adapter and/or battery, try them to see where the problem is. Or, if you're near an Apple Store, take it in and they'll diagnose it for you (for free, but they will charge for repairs if you need them and don't have AppleCare).

DVI to Video Adaptor not reliable.

I received my DVI to Video Adaptor (s-video and composite) today. The first boot up was to no video, a couple restarts later and the login screen was up. I used the mini for a couple hours with the composite video and my tv and then turned it off. I came back later to again no video and after a few more power cycles... needless to say I have the mini hooked back up to a VGA display.
Has anyone had any problems with this adaptor? Any advice as to how to get it to reliably display video?
Thanks.

Does the image seem to triplicate across the screen and jump around with all kinds of distortions? If so it appears you may have the same problem many iBook users were having...
squeeb, "Composit/S-video output adapter Will not work", 08:21am Mar 5, 2004 CDT
You can take the time to read through all those posts, but the news isn't good I'm afraid. It's something to do with the mac thinking the TV is a VGA monitor, so sends out the wrong signal (nobody really knows, Apple never acknowledged the problem). The only person to have fixed it had to have his logic board replaced!
That was an iBook though, this may be different to your problem (you hope).
I certainly hope! I was planning to get a mac mini soon to setup a kind of media center. I was one of the unlucky ones with the iBook problem, so this is very bad news if the Mac minis are having the same problem!
Good luck! Keep us posted if you make any progress.

Dell monitors go into power save cycle

I got 2 brand new Dell P2412H monitors to use as a dual display. However when the computer puts the display to sleep they go into a "Entering Power Save Mode" cycle and the display never shuts off it stays blue and continues to do that. This happens with either display even in single monitor setup. I have the problem on my old Powermac G5 and now on my new apple mac mini. What is happening?
I have read about similar problems here but they were not solved:
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19422779.aspx
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19447579.aspx
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/p/19434910/200449 89.aspx
And this guy even made a youtube video of the same problem but different monitors:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48EFXz6xIEU

I've tried a factory reset on the monitors. My monitors sleep settings are fine and they wake up from being asleep perfectly. As of this morning my little trick of unplugging them and swapping connections has stopped working. Now, when I swap cables the video card automatically assigns the primary video output to one of the monitors and keeps the other one asleep. very strange. So when I unplug the mini video adaptor from the dvi cord and then place that same cord in the native dvi output on the video card the card automatically reassigns the primary video output to that channel. So no matter how much witching I do I always end up with the system acting like I have a stretched desktop but with only the left display working while the right one is asleep. It's time to give apple support a call.

Battery Health after 13 cycles?

I recently downloaded istate pro to check my battery and to my suprise my battery health is currently at 96% after 13 cycles. Yesterday I calibrated the battery and it was at 98% health. Could be battery by obsolete? And I just got my mbp 1 week ago.

Your battery is fine. Over time the battery health continues to decline until the battery needs to be replaced.

After 300 cycles, is the battery problem considered normal?

I now have the dreaded "Macbook won't work unless plugged in" problem. Mine does recognize the battery at various percentages up to 100% and will charge it if it runs down (which it slowly will in sleep mode as I can unplug it then). Purchased the computer on June 6, 2006 (very out of warranty), and just started with this "can't unplug" issue last week.
After trolling this and other sites I have reset the SMU and the PRAM several times. Removed battery looks normal, no warping, and I am always updated on the software updates, so the battery update has been installed for a while now. I run maintenance scripts regularly as well.
I have calibrated the battery several times in the past but cannot now as it will take several days on sleep to run it completely down, and I need the computer daily for work as I am self-employed. I have always let it run down in the past to sleep mode, then plugged it in. I never used it plugged in while at 100%, until now since I have to.
Coconut Battery (which I just started using) says I'm at 3526 mAh of the original 5200, 67% capacity on a 100% charge. Is this typical at this age and usage of battery?
So battery cycles are at 307, plus I'm out of warranty. Is this behavior (can't run unplugged though battery is at 100% or will charge if lower) typical after 300 cycles? In other words, do I have to buy a new battery every year to avoid this sudden shut off if the magsafe cord is yanked accidentally during my work?
And I have read of others who get their battery with the same issue changed out under warranty--only to have the issue recur shortly later. Am I going to drop serious cash on a battery that will leave me in this same predicament in just a few weeks into the future? I really need advice on this one.

The memory thing has been going around since the Ni-Cad days. Li-Ion doesn't have that problem thank goodness. Here is some info that may also help you with your next battery.
It is OK to leave your battery hooked to the charger most of the time. The only time I unhook mine from the charger is when I calibrate. You should calibrate your battery once a month.

JDBC Adaptor problem

Hi
I am doing JDBC-RFC-JDBC Scenario without BPM with quality of service BE.
In this, JDBC sender adaptor is updating the table1 with sent flag = 'X'. Now the prob is the receiver adaptor is also upadting table1 with some data and here it is hanging . Is JDBC sender adaptor locks the table1 till the whole cycle is completed or there is another reason?????? If it likes that how to solve this
Thanks in advance
Regards
Vijay

What is the error that you are getting.?
Just for test purposes, in the Sender JDBC adapter, select Advanced Mode --> Database Transaction Level and select option --> None.

Can i leave my power adaptor plug in to mba 2011 after fully charging it?

Hi all,
I was wondering whether i can leave my power adaptor plug in to my mba 2011 even after its gully charged?
Appreciate all feedbacks!

Yep! No problem with that. I would cycle the battery once a month or so (lt the battery completely drain then fully re-charge).
I love my 11" MacBook Air!

Leaving Macbook Air plugged into ac adaptor?

When using the Air at home, is it ok to always leave the computer plugged into the AC adaptor, whether in sleep mode or in shut down mode? The magsafe plug on the computer stays green because the battery is charged. If I unplug the ac adaptor, even for a day without using the computer, the plug is first amber as some charging takes place.
What is the best way to use the computer at home to preserve battery operation over the long term?
thanks

Some other users already hit on the main points...
One thing worth mentioning, the purpose of the MacBook Air was to be super portable and I'd imagine for the typical user who purchases the machine they're anticipating being very mobile with it. I know on mine, I've already crossed the 100 charge cycle threshold and the machine is only about 3 months old. I use it a lot, both plugged in at night and unplugged during the day.
No matter how you use your battery, charge the machine, or leave it plugged in, ultimately the battery's longevity will be depleted. There are ways to prolong it, but it's impossible to prevent it. My advice to you, is to use the machine how you see fit.
Regarding charging at night, there's no evidence to support that leaving the machines plugged in overnight (on, off, sleep or otherwise) is problematic. I personally unplug mine at night, unless it requires charging. But again, that's a personal preference.

60 cycle hum when capturing video

I am using a Canopus ADVC 110 connected to my Mac via RCA (from DVR) and USB (to Mac) When I capture video/audio directly to iMovie HD I get a very quiet (but noticeable) 60 cycle hum. You can hear it on my YouYube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBQNWYnHygs
Is there anything I can do?

At home - taking a close look at my ADVC-300 which resembles the ADVC-110 much.
On this there is on it's back. Left to right.
DV I/O FireWire (6-pin), S-Video out, three RCA - Video-out - R - Audio-out - L, DC in 5V (Power switch) and Component out.
DC in 5V - is the needed power from Mains adaptor to make it work.
On Front
Three RAC L- Audio-in - R and Video in, S-Video in and DV I/O FireWire (4-pin)
NO USB at all.
I use to connect the DV I/O FireWire (4-pin) to my Mac and VCR to Front side RCA-connectors.
(and back side RCA-connectors to a Reference Monitor (sort of TV))
This works greatly for me to Capture/Import VHS tapes (or Hi-8 or Video-8) to iMovie HD6 and iMovie'08 to 11 and FinalCut Express and FinalCut Pro 6.
DC IN 8v - I can not find and it can not be any thing like USB at all.

VDSL modem in sync, HH3 and HH2v2 power cycles int...

Dear All, Firstly this is my first post on the forums so hello to all. On to my topic, A friend of mine has a very very interesting FTTC fault. The VDSL modem is in sync, but the HH3 from 3 blue lights, will suddenly shut off and restart. This happens any ware between every 10-45 mins. Here is the fun bit: Engineers have replaced the modem and the HH3 3 times. They have even tried a HH2 infinity router which lasted longer than the 3 but to no avail. The modem and Router are both plugged into a surge protector. They have both been tried on regular sockets. The VDSL modem is always happy, in sync but the routers are being power cycled. There is no line issues, no CRCs as the engineers have said. The speeds to the VDSL modem are all fine, and the speed of the BB is working fine, its just the random power cycling of the routers that has everyone stumped. Yes its been turned off and on Yes its all plugged in Yes all cables have been tried and tested One Ethernet device, other wireless laptops There is no trigger, weather simple MSN text or HD streaming there seems to be no trigger as such for the router So tech guys, i would not bother you with a simple one, here is the mystery, whats the theory's?

After a worrying start very nice replies thanks guys! so firstly
@ HH replacements he had one, BT sent him one and the engineer used one. I know for a fact these are all from different batches.
@ channel changing Not only would the amount of random channels the smart wireless would have been using with the ammount of swaps, the engineer set the wireless channel whilst doing interrogations on the router.
@ electircal supply Here was the ebst bit, the engineer knows about REIN (f Repetitive Electrical Impulse Noise). In the room with the router there are LOTS of powerboards and power adaptors link multiple supplys. There are pets, a pc, standard sky tv boxs and relavant go withs. SO yeah lots of stuff. The uncle is a sparky, checked the house and said all good. We have a UPS (i think thats what it is called) which can deliver a constant voltage no matter what, even from that it was going fine then boom power cycle.
Feed back from 12 hour obs: The HH2 apparently has made it much more berable, taking around an hour or more till it resets. Engineer came round and did a lift and shift to get a new port from the dslam. At that point the engineer had been told he had to leave, but he justified it. There was nothing else that they can do, port, line, socket, HH modem have all been eliminated from the enquiery.
At this point the router had been moved by the enginner to the best poisbble location in the lounge for it to not be near a source of potential REIN. Then he told us that he wanted to find out what the problem was because it was a "mystery" and he was interested. He told about REIN and how to test for it (AKA long time of having not a lot plugged in and before anyone got mad (and lets be real this guy was not just going to come over and say "sorry man we don't know how to fix this" ) he also advised us to talk to our Service provide (aka BTR ) and to tell them what the issues are. So what do people think of this ?

Cycle count verses full charge capacity.

My battery on my mackbook says to service battery. Now I know the cycle count is high but it seems to me that the full charge capacity is only about 50%. The macbook is about 2 years old but I would have thought I could have gone longer with the battery since the charge capacity is still pretty good. So, which is better to go off of, cycle count or full charge capacity, and from looking at the specs below does it appear as though I will need to buy a new battery? Thanks..

Nonsense. The battery will actually last longer if it gets used. If it never or is seldom used, then it will die an earlier death. I see nothing wrong with what you are doing.

Using ac adaptor with battery

just wondered- if ac adaptor is plugged in, once battery is fulluy charged, does the battery cut out and all power is received from the ac adaptor

Based on my experience no. However, you can remove the battery anytime the machine is plugged in without ill effects (other than if the A/C should suddenly lose power). You will though find that cycling the battery charge and draining it following these directions can prolong its life:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/
Consider having power via A/C and battery a sort of backup. If the power should be lost when a file is being created, you may not be able to recover it.
If the power should be lost while the operating system is running the directory may get damaged*:
http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
So is it good to have both plugged in at the same time? Some would argue one way or the other based on both of the above being true.

Power Adaptor, Battery or left I/O board Going Out?

This is driving me crazy, Im slowly losing power..
I have a MBP 17 That I purchased in mid January from Apple directly.
Battery is no longer Charging, The Light on The Magsafe light is very Dim but shows Green, not visible unless the adaptor is covered or in a dark room.
This started seven days ago. At first I was able to charge but it has progressively gotten worse. Four days ago the battery information stopped showing if the battery was charging. But Looking at the Charge remaining Battery information in System Profiler showed it was slowly charging back up.. Now It is slowly Using the battery while Plugged in, As in about 1% per hour. With the Better Energy Savings set. Even with the MBP off It will not charge the Battery...
Light On the Adaptor will not go off, even when the adaptor is unplugged from the MPB. Light will only go out when unplugged from the wall.
I plan to run Hardware test when I get back home some time early next week.
Steps I have taken.
Cleaned Receptor for the Magsafe adaptor.
Checked to make sure no Pins were stuck, bent or missing.
Tried Both the Plug adaptors,
Tried different wall outlets - My House, My Friends House, at the local Coffee Shop.. No change
Reset the PRAM and NVRAM
Reset SMC

When you live outside of the United States, it can be difficult to obtain the excellent service that we in the US enjoy. I don't know who you contacted in Chile or in the US since I do not see a support site for Chile--only Brazil. But I'll give you the page for contacting Apple for Support and Service:
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
If the problem first appeared after 13 months, then you are out of the 1 year warranty period for the computer. However, the battery warranty may still be in effect since that was extended. More about that below.
When you call Apple with unresolved issues, you may wish to ask for Apple Customer Relations. They are an upper tier whose mission is to try and solve problems so that Apple customers are happy.
Also, I am wondering about the diagnosis you received and if you might want to look for a second opinion. When there are charging problems such as you describe, in general you want to look at the battery, the power adaptor (charger), or the left I/O Board. If one or more of these are malfunctioning, you can get charging problems. If your computer is working while plugged into the power adaptor without other issues, I would not expect there to be a problem with the logic board. Sometimes if someone does not know what is wrong, they will diagnose the logic board. But I would be very skeptical of this diagnosis until other possibilities are eliminated.
The first thing to do is to reset the SMC:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
The next thing to check is to see if your battery might be covered by the following article. If it is, you should be able to get a free replacement from Apple. The article will also help you to recognize the characteristics of a malfunctioning battery.
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
Since you can apparently run your Mac from the Power Adaptor alone, it would argue that the adaptor and the left I/O Board are both working to some extent.
You might check your battery characteristics in the System Profiler and compare them to what the OP posted. If you have under 300 cycles and battery health of "fair" or worse, then your problem could well just be the battery. If so, it would be a far less expensive fix than a new logic board, even if you have to buy a new one.
Do you happen to have any friends with the same MBP? If so, see if you can try their power adaptor and then their battery. Swapping out your battery and power adaptor with ones that are known to be good will go a long ways towards isolating the problem. If your problem persists with a known good battery and a known good power adaptor, then you may be looking at a new left I/O Board, which is much less expensive than a logic board.
Good luck!

AC Adaptor Always plugged in

Is it okay to always use the AC adaptor instead of using your batteries all the time? Is this harmful?

Yes, it's quite OK. It will not harm the battery. Use the adaptor anytime it's convenient.
