Dead Battery & Out of Country?

I really need help on this one. I bought this Macbook in Sep 06 and it is now Jan 11.07 . I have done all the trouble shooting but cannot seem to get my battery back. So I tried to call AppleCare but the 800# is blocked by TelCell the Mexican Telephone company down here. I am in Cabo San Lucas,Mexico. I cannot find any help down here and I cannot call the 800 lines for help. I also do not speak spanish well. Look I use this everyday in my business and need to get back up and running. Can anyone suggest a way to help me? Thanks in Advance.

It appears that there is an authorized service center in Tijuana:

Also, Apple lists an 800 number to be called from inside Mexico:

  • Brand new iPod touch will not turn on. Goes straight to dead battery screen.

    Hello.
    I recently purchased a refurbished iPod touch to develop apps on. I have had the iPod touch for about a week and last night the iPod suddenly shut off in the middle of use. The battery was low so I figured it was simply a dead battery and I went to plug it into the charger. This morning, I tried to turn it back on after about 10 hours of charging and I got the same dead battery plug in charger screen. I then swichted it to a usb slot on my macbook and left it to charge all day for about 9 hours. Again, I turned it on and nothing, just a dead battery screen. Both usb slots on my computer are working completely fine for my other devicesbut not this. I have also tried plugging it into the wall, but I get the same results. One other possibility is that I have the iOS 8 Beta on my phone currently and I have experienced some issues with that, but not enough to brick my device...or at least I thought. I have only had this device for a few days and so far I am very disappointed that this has happened already. If anyone can help me out without having to go to an Apple store for service that would be great!
    Thanks

    So did you iPod 5th gen worked again? I had similar experience. This is my own iPod (not refurbished), so I know it was
    in great condition (I rarely used it but only for dev). I installed iOS8 Beta, and one morning, the screen won't turn on.
    I plugged in power and nothing happened. After a few min, I heard that characteristic "power beep" and thankfully,
    it came back to live. What I noticed is that I have > 90% power. So whatever happened, it isnt because it's low in
    battery.
    I have a suspicion it is entirely due to iOS 8 beta. Such a thing never happened to my iPod till the day I installed it.
    My theory is that it is doing something busy, or there's a bug in the "waking" mechanism, and become extremely
    sluggish to any external input, until it is done with whatever mysterious things it was doing. I am now putting it
    in air plane mode whenever i don't need it, and also turn off icloud back up. Hopefully, I don't see this anymore.

  • Possible dead battery on late 2007 MacBook white?

    Yesterday my girlfriend put her late 2007 MacBook (running 10.5.1) to sleep and when she went to wake it up it would appear to have died/shutdown and then tried to start up. There was a whir of the DVD drive and then it started to play the boot sound and then just cut out.
    On further attempts to boot it (from battery) now does the same thing. Though if the power is plugged in then it starts OK. I've tried an SMC reset, but that doesn't appear to have helped.
    The MacBook was purchased in December 2007. Current battery info is as follows:
    Battery Information:
    Model Information:
    Manufacturer: DP
    Device name: ASMB016
    Pack Lot Code: 0002
    PCB Lot Code: 0000
    Firmware Version: 102a
    Hardware Revision: 0500
    Cell Revision: 0200
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 3310
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 4019
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 285
    Battery health: Good
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 1073
    Voltage (mV): 12535
    Does all this point to a dead battery?
    Cheers,
    Jay

    After a bit more looking it may be the same problem as described on post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1954449&start=0&tstart=0 as we've been away for a week. Also the battery is the same model number (although not firmware) as the one listed in the info for Battery Updater 1.4.
    First things first, I need to backup then upgrade the MacBook to 10.5.8 as the Battery Updater 1.4 requires 10.5.6 or later. Then try the Battery Updater and a charge to see what happens and if all else fails maybe a visit to Apple (eveb though AppleCare is long gone) as the battery is below 300 cycles which some people have got Apple to replace as a faulty battery.

  • Is this just a dead battery...?

    …or is it something more serious?
    Here's the situation: I keep my 5-year-old 13" white Macbook (macbook2,1) plugged in most of the time, so the battery doesn't get a lot of exercise, and consistently reports fully charged. Lately, when I use it on battery, it starts up OK, or seems to — and reports fully charged — but as soon as I do anything interesting (e.g., open Safari) it just shuts off. Cold. And won't restart (it'll chime, but that's all), until I plug it in; the battery still reports full charged, however. If I leave it plugged in awhile, it'll start on battery, but as soon as I load a web page...
    I've tried taking out the battery, starting up plugged in and then replacing it, hoping that might reset something. No luck.
    Is this simply a dead battery? It acts like it's "not holding a charge", but the system, suspiciously enough, still reports fully charged, or nearly so. Before I bounce for a buck and a quarter for a replacement battery only to find I still have a problem, I thought I'd put the question up before the real geniuses...
    Is this simply a matter of a failed battery, or is there more to this than meets the ocular organ?
    TIA, points will be awarded...
    Jeff

    OK, the above was the report after the MacBook had been plugged in for a few days. I decided to see what came up when I started on the battery, but the first time I tried it, as soon as Safari launched (it's a login item) it went down. So I let the battery get back up to 100%, and restarted, bypassing login items. System Info reported this:
    Battery Information:
      Model Information:
      Manufacturer:          DP
      Device Name:          ASMB013
      Pack Lot Code:          1
      PCB Lot Code:          0
      Firmware Version:          102
      Hardware Revision:          300
      Cell Revision:          200
      Charge Information:
      Charge Remaining (mAh):          4120
      Fully Charged:          Yes
      Charging:          No
      Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          4273
      Health Information:
      Cycle Count:          37
      Condition:          Normal
      Battery Installed:          Yes
      Amperage (mA):          -2054
      Voltage (mV):          10705
    I note that those last two items are quite different, and indeed, the voltage had been reduced to < 11V. Dunno if that's significant.
    I then tried launching Safari and it promptly went down. It occurred to me that the issue might involve Safari specifically in some way, so I let the battery charge back up again, de-logined Safari, and restarted. I was able to launch a few smaller applications; then I launched Backup, so far so good, but when I tried actually starting a backup, poof.
    It's too bad I can't either find a MacBook to borrow to try with my battery or borrow a battery; no one I know has an appropriate model MacBook.

  • Dead Battery? Jump

    I have a Creative Zen Xtra. I hadn't charged it in about 3 weeks. It would not turn on, and would not charge (I left it all night on the charger). On Nomadness, I found this guide
    http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=8035
    to jumping a dead battery. It worked. You are taking the safety of yourself and your mp3 player into your own hands. Basically what I did was used my roommate's old 6v cell phone charger (which he no longer used), cut off the plug, spliced the two sets of wires. I twisted the wires and folded them into about half centimeter lengths, taped them to the positi've and negati've plates on the battery. I then plugged the adapter in. I waited 0 minutes, tested, no luck. I did it for another 20, still no luck. Finally. I just held the rubber part of the wires in my hands and touched the exposed wires to the plates on the battery for about 30 seconds. Just to be sure, I swapped the plates that I touched, in cases white wasn't actually positi've. Wait another 30 seconds. Put my battery back in, woohoo, it starts up. Its been charging now for the past two hours. Hopefully this can help at least other person save 40 bucks.Message Edited by lanthis on 03-24-2005 07:2 AM

    Yep, just to repeat, this is covered here in the Zen FAQ at Nomadness.net which is referenced in the "Read this first..." post. Amazing what you can find out if you read the FAQs

  • Powerbook takes 5 or 6 attempts to power up even with AC only (battery out)

    Hey folks- I have read up on this extensively but wonder if the info is more uptodate now (as I have been reading about this from about October last year!) and if anyone can get their head around this.
    Powerbook G4 1.5GHz with 1GB RAM Aluminum 15" with the replacement (recall replacement) battery from a year and a half ago.
    Powerbook was out of action for about a month (I got a replacement MacBook Pro) and was put back into action about Christmas.
    Then it took a charge of half an hour before it would start up. So a drained battery was bad news as it took a long time on AC to even allow a start up.
    Worked fine since then with pretty much weekly use, mostly on AC but also using the battery which performed reasonably despite high use of bluetooth and internet. A couple of times a long "recharge" had to be performed to start it up again if it had gone to sleep on low battery.
    Today it also behaved as though it was going to do what it normally does and take a while on charge before it will start up. Started up pretty much immediately though. Worked fine until the lid was shut, the laptop was unplugged and then it was replugged and lid was opened. Dead. Totally. No amber light beyond about a minute or so.
    End result was that I attempted to charge it this morning, watched the light go amber and it only went to green after 10 minutes or more. No start up possible.
    I removed the battery and tried to start it and hey presto- it worked.
    Works fine if started with no battery installed.
    Or so I thought- I even managed to replace the battery and see that it has had a good number of cycles (263) and is definitely not charging.
    So- I realise that it is probably a dead battery, right? Possibly because it is anyway worn out and maybe also because the Powerbook has recently been updated to Leopard (June time). So, to win some time and to be able to restart the computer when we unplug it I thought we'd at least do the PMU and PRAM etc resets...
    Shut down the computer, pressed the various keys for the PRAM reset and got the digital beep.
    Tried to restart the computer with the PRAM combo and nothing.
    Dead. COMPLETELY. Now wouldn't start up even with the battery removed!! Unhooked battery a couple of times, replugged charger and nothing. Left it for a time in case the battery was charging on the amber light (maybe that first reset had done enough?) and still nothing.
    Fiddled and used bad language.
    Turned the Powerbook over and pressed the battery button a couple of times. Interestingly it flashes on the first light when pressed (but doesn't cycle as it ought to if charging).
    Powerbook started up with battery in and AC connected.
    I no longer understand ANYTHING.
    First it wouldn't start up, then only with battery removed, then not at all, then only with battery in place...
    Help, I am going mad.
    Please? Oh- and since I believe I am having to buy a new battery, where? Apple don't seem to have any but am I wrong? Generic or Apple? What is the consensus? OR have we got a bigger problem?! IO board?! Oh NOOOOOO!

    Oh you CLEVER person you! You know I plum-forgot to mention that on it finally/occasionally starting up it has to always have the time/date reset and also the passcode for the wireless internet re-entered.
    Which I KNOW is a defective PRAM battery from the ancient Wallstreet which had one go on it with similar results (of course it was not also wireless) but assumed that it might have been a board go as a result of the aging battery.
    So- took it to our local Apple repairer and they would like to charge me £55 for the estimate and THEN for labour and parts as well! Used to be that we were looking at the estimate/check up being offset against the resulting pair (basically- they had the thing open and diagnosing the fault is part of a repair. Just if you chose NOT to go through with a repair you'd be charged for an estimate)...
    Was told it was either the logic board or the powerboard. Suspect though that the battery option is one which needs investigating FIRST and will power the laptop non-stop for 24 or so hours minus battery to see if that is enough to spark a start up.
    They did try another battery, no go. Tried another powerlead- no difference.
    COULD be that the defective PRAM battery has caused wider defects and that we are looking at replacing a few things but cheaper options first as spending over £200 is not going to make this machine very worth it as it is ancient and might not last all THAT much longer.

  • Treo 700w constantly acting like it has a dead battery

    I'll start by saying I hope this is the right place for this.  Anyway to the problem, I bought a refurbished treo 700w about 3-4 weeks ago.  It worked great for about a week, then it would start to freeze often which could be cured by pressing the reset button.  Then that would no longer fix the problem and I would have to take the battery out and put it back in and then it would work normally.  Well after a couple days of that, I would have to remove and replace the battery several times before the phone would turn on and work normally.  Then one day, nothing would turn it on.  So I took the battery out and left it out for a few hours and then left it on the charger the rest of the day, (even though it had been on the charger all night). Finally, the next day it would turn back on after taking the battery out again.  Well, the next day I picked up a cradle hoping a upgrade to the OS would fix the problems I was having.  I upgraded the OS and the phone was working perfectly, It no longer froze every time I took it off the charger.  It just worked like I had expected it to from the beginning.  Then last night I came home put the phone on the cradle to charge, and now this morning it is acting like the battery is dead again, It won't respond to anything, the reset button does nothing, taking the battery out does nothing, so it is back on the charger again, hoping I can somehow get it to turn on in a few hours.  so anybody out there have any ideas?

    Does the battery indicator show that it is low? If it shows good battery life remaining, it is not the battery.
    Look on the Treo for the software version to see if you need the current update of the ROM software.

  • My 2008 Macbook froze (though iTunes kept playing), and wouldn't turn off, so I had to take the battery out to turn it off. However, it is not turning on. The battery was in condition of "needs to be replaced soon", but is there any way I can start it up?

    Last night, I was listening to a podcast, and my Mac froze. The mouse would not work, and neither would any of the buttons, but the podcast continued to play as if nothing was wrong.  I tried to turn it off and on with the power button, but it did not respond.  I had to take out the battery and put it back in.
    However, the Mac is no longer starting up. The battery was old, and needed to be replaced soon.  Because I have three important exams next week, and I have all of my notes on that device, I was wondering if there was a way to get the Macbook to work again, without taking the time to replace the battery? I've tried plugging it in, but it doesn't seem to charge.
    Thanks!

    Does the unit not run on the charger alone? (take the battery out and plug it in.)

  • My Macbook will not boot the operating system.  It just goes to a blue screen after the apple logo and the spinning wheel goes off.  I took the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM.  I have the old mac os disk.

    Thanks

    You won't lose any data unless you erase your hard drive.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c"key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it.When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've selected the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.

  • When i try to play music on my blackberry curve it says "media is busy" i dont know what that means......how do i fix it without taking the battery out???

    Help please
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    "Media Busy" Maybe, maybe ur player innitializing the selected track ready to play it. Does it hang on Media busy for a long time?
    Strange behaviour like this can be corrected with a reboot. Take battery out whilst your device is still switch ON. Wait 20 seconds or so, then re-inster your battery. Wait throught the reboot (about 5 mins). See if that helps. If not, sorry, cant help any further. A reboot fixes a lot of issues.

  • Only a dead battery...I hope?

    Hello,
    I've been having recent problems with my 14'' iBook G4. Prior to this computer, I had a 12'' iBook G4 with frequent kernel panics, so I parted that thing out to make a few extra bucks. To my dismay, this "new" iBook G4 (purchased from eBay with a Square Trade Warranty) is having problems. I was on it the other day about to burn a CD via iTunes and as it was preparing the disc, the computer shut off unexpectedly. The battery was at 89% when this happened, so I panicked, remembering the faulty machine I had before this. When I turned the computer back on, it informed that the clock had been reset and applications might behave erratically, and was set to some date in 1969! The computer frequently does this, especially in processor-intensive applications (I.E. converting mp3's to AAC files in iTunes). I looked over the auction at least ten times, making sure I hadn't overlooked some crappy as-is policy, but then saw that the only thing NOT guaranteed was the battery.
    Downloaded the coconutBattery app, and its health is at 29%, and the computer does not shut down when connected to power. However, I'm still curious why the clock is being reset. If I take the battery out and then connect it to power and boot up without the battery, the clock is not reset. Is this normal if the battery has reached the end of its useful life?

    Hey Christian,
    the computer shut off unexpectedly. The battery was at 89% when this happened, so I panicked, remembering the faulty machine I had before this. When I turned the computer back on, it informed that the clock had been reset and applications might behave erratically, and was set to some date in 1969!
    So the system clock is controlled by the PMU. It resets itself when when the power to the PMU chip is interrupted. There is a super capacitor (~.22F) that will hold settings for about 30 seconds in a no power situation. This is facilitate a battery swap. It is possible that your super cap is bad and when you're running on battery power a power glitch would cause the clock to reset. The glitch could be caused by a bad battery, bad battery connector, bad battery input board or a loose battery lock.
    If the super cap is bad that's not actually such a big deal. If you're running on the net all the time and the "set date & time automatically" box is checked in the Date & Time preferences panel the date and time will reset automatically.
