HT3964 The AC Adapter keeps the mbp working but wont charge the battery

I tryed all tips from cleaning the pins to reseting the SMC and nothing worked... any other ideas?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
In that case, it's quite possible that your battery is damaged. Open System Information (in /Applications/Utilities), choose Power in the sidebar and copy here "Charge Information" and "Health Information". That will give us information about the battery

    They do not repair .Apple exchange and all returned units are refurbished at The Apple plants in China
    So you get a device that looks like and functions like new
    Are you familiar with the results of water and electricity mixing

  • My iphone will charge in the wall, but wont charge on my computer, and itunes wont recognize it, how d i fix it?

    My phone will charge in the wall, but wont charge with the usb in my computer. ive bought a new cord, so i know thats not it, but my computer wont recognize my phone, HELP!

    See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make the iPod visible in iTunes.  If it does then restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:

  • My iphone 3gs is charging on the wall charger but wont charge on the pc, have cleaned it, yet it can sync and update with itunes easily, but it still wont charge, have tried several cables as well same effect.

    1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • Pavilion dv7 laptop ac adapter problem. It works, but Windows 7 does not recognize it anymore.

    The ac adapter works, and the battery remains at 100%, but the icon never switches from battery to AC.  The laptop will not turn on without the battery and just AC, yet the adapter keeps the battery charged at 100%.  Windows 7 will not perform some of the updates when it thinks it is running on battery.
    Any ideas?

    I am having the same issue with my G61.  I apologize in advance for hi jacking your post and leaving such a long reply but maybe it will help both of us in the long run.
    The problem started off by everyonce in a while my battery icon showing my battery needed replaced.  I ran the battery tool and it said the battery was bad.  I eventually replaced the battery to no avail.  Here is everything that I have done and noted while dealing with this problem.  After replacing the battery the battery tool would not run saying that in order for the test to work the AC adapter needs to be plugged in (computer will only work with the AC adapter plugged in).  If I am using the computer and the adapter happens to come unplugged it almost instantly goes into a permenant sleep and I have to hard reset and plug the adapter back in in order to use the laptop.
    The icon at the bottom of the screen does not show the battery charging.  It only shows the battery in good standing and its current power level.  If I remove the battery it changes to no battery present.
    Some wierd things that are going on are the computer will boot up on battery power alone but as soon as windows is loading at the desktop it will go back into permenant sleep and will have to hard reset.  Also the computer will not power on with the battery removed and the AC adapter plugged in but all my power indicators are lit up showing its getting power.
    I just recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and performed all the updates thinking that maybe that would fix the problem.  But it did not.  Although now when I run the battery tool it does not tell me to plug in the AC adapter.  It goes through the process and tell me that everyting is OK and my battery checks out fine.
    One thing that gives me hope that its a software issue is that I have no issue using the battery when running Windows in any version of SAFE MODE.  I can run it till the battery dies without it going into permenant sleep.
    I have read that it could be a motherboard issue but not sure how to verify.  Any help to help us figure this out would be fantabulous.

    Hey martz94,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will not turn on because it is not charging. A frustrating situation for sure. Take a look at both of these articles to try and resolve the issue.

  • BB Curve 8310 Home Charger Does not work, but Car charger charges Phone.

    Help !!!  Home charger does not charge phone.  But Car charger does.  But Home charger works with another curve.
    What can be wrong with the phone?

    Oddly, it could be the device USB going bad.
    Can you connect your Curve to your USB > PC and see the Curve connected in Desktop Manager?
    If so, do a complete back up of the device -- just in case it is the USB port ON the device going bad. It happens.

  • My ipod wont charge at all no matter what or where i charge it and this yellow triangle keeps coming up, my ipod wont charge at all no matter what or where i charge it and this yellow triangle keeps coming up

    My ipod wont charge at all and i tried to charging it with different cables and in different places but it still wont charge all i see is a yellow triangle saying charging with this accsesory is not supported or something like that

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await restart.

  • I purchased something in the game but never worked but was charged

    I purchased the gem on bakery story but never was refilled.
    However, $13.99 was charged to my bank account.
    How can I receive my money back?
    This is really annoying that they charge something that wasn't even done right.

  • I have an iPhone four and ever since i updated my iTunes to the latest verison it will not connect to my computer or anything. It charges in the wall just fine. It makes the noise when i plug it in but wont charge or connect to iTunes. It is not my cord.

    My cord is not the problem I have two different cords but neither of them work. What could be the problem? I can still charge my phone through the wall, but until this is fixed I basically can't use iTunes.

    I have the same problem even before updating to IOS 6.1

  • Cannon FS30 to MBP works, but not to MB

    We have a MacBook Pro and a MacBook. When we connect our Cannon FS30 to the MacBook Pro, iMovie and iPhoto recognizes it right away and we can import movies and photos. However, when we hook up the camera to the MacBook, only iPhoto recognizes the camera.
    Any ideas why this would be? The folks at the Genius Bar seem to think that it has to do with some plug-in that is on the MacBook Pro but not on the MacBook, but I don't recall installing any such plug-ins.
    Thanks!

    How are you hooking up your FS30? When I plug mine into my macbook, it doesn't even recognize that is there. I have tried hooking this camcorder to 3 different computers, and can not get the videos off of it on any of them!!! It is making me crazy!!!
