I think the battery just blew up?

I had our office power book sitting on my desk, shut off, for a couple of weeks. It was sitting flat so this just happened as I picked it up. I think the battery blew up or something? the back panel where the battery is on the laptop busted off and warped. The panel busted open and the stuff inside is all hard and puffy. WHAT HAPPENED?

Hi, gumball. I too think your battery just blew up. Better get the Powerbook in for service right away.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

  • Why need to charge iphone 6 Plus everyday the battery just last long for a day- My phone just 1 week old

    I have to charge my phone everyday, The battery just last long for a day. Is that normal ? My phone just one week old.
    Please advise mates.

    I would say that is well within the acceptable limits,
    If you check out Apple's page here: http://www.apple.com/iphone-6/specs/
    All the way at the bottom is the battery info. It states that you'll get up to 12 hours of battery on 3G/LTE. Of course, that number is obtained by following a very specific set of steps - the real world number is less.

  • I just got a ipod nano 6th gen, and ive been using it for 2 days, and it seems that the battery just lasts about half a day, on playing 1 to 3 songs in intervals of 1-2 hours. Whats wrong with my ipod?

    Your nano would really have nothing to do with it at that point. It is really something between iTunes and whatever server out there on the internet that it is trying to connect to for the update.
    Try posting this one in the iTunes forum, they might have a solution for you.

  • My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.

    My battery on my iPad mini isn't charging, the charging sign is on, but the battery just keeps going down.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Since you did not say how long the battery lasts I am nut sure the battery is the problem.

  • How much will Apple charge me to fix my Ipod Touch 4g? It won't turn on because I think the battery is bad, and the home button doesn't work anymore... and it's not under any warrenty anymore

    How much will Apple charge me to have my Ipod Touch 4g fixed? It won't turn on anymore more because I think the battery is probably bad, and the home button doesn't work either... its not under any warrenty either.

  • Laptop keeps shutting down without warning because it thinks the battery is low, but it isn't.

    My laptop is about 9 months old and recently it started to just shut down as if the battery were low. It is not low. It just did it now and the battery was at 80%. If I try to restart it it shows low battery and won't start. However, if I remove the battery and reinsert it, it starts up fine. Or, if I plug it in for a moment to start it up and then unplug it it works fine. The battery obviously still has plenty of juice left, but the computer is misreading it somehow. Although it still shows an accurate reading in the task bar. Any thoughts? Thank You.

    UltimateBid,
    Thanks for the update. I do not see anything on my end that talks about it, you can try to update the BIOS and see if that resolves the issue, otherwise I would recommend service possibly.

  • HT2101 My iPhone's 4 battery exploded. What do I do next? 1 year warranty period is over; however, this is a clear hardware issue which I didn't cause (didn't drop the phone, the battery just exploded while charging the phone)

    I put my iphone to charge for about an hour. After an hour I found that the battery exploded. It literally exploded pushing the back cover off the whole thing. That is crazy... iphones explode?? what if this happened in my pocked and some nasty liquids going all over.
    Please let me know what do I do next about it. 1 year warranty is gone but it is not my fault the thing exploded. Should be some kind of hardware issue. I found on the internet that this happens quite often.

    I had the same thing happen to my iPhone but much less extreme. The back had popped away from the frame at the top, below the headphone jack. I tried to push it back but it would not stay. My first thought was that this was attributed to a bad/bloated battery. I took it in to my local Apple store where it was diagnosed as having a defective back. I brought up my bloated battery suspition with the Genious who instantly shrugged it off. The back was defective and that was it.
    A new back was ordered and when it came in, I took the phone in for the back to be replaced. The new Genious went back to their service area with the phone, emerging a few minutes later stating that the back was not the issue...it was a bloated battery which had pushed the back off. They ended up replacing the phone under warranty.
    Yours is very extreme since on mine, only one corner of the back was pushed away. I certainly hope you can get Apple to correct it without charge since this is clearly an issue with a bad battery and a dangerous one at that. Best of luck to you.

  • My iPod Touch has stopped working and won't charge or turn on. I think the battery is knackered, what can I do?

    Hope this helps,

  • I think my battery is fried.  It gets really hot sometimes when I charge it now it won't charge at all.  It froze up after the last update and I can't use it at all.

    My phone froze up after last update and I can't use it at all.  I think the battery is fried as well.  It gets really hot sometimes when I charge it and now it won't charge at all.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still nothing try Reset while on Wall Charger, this can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on Charger. If still nothing and you decide to Restore you iPhone with iTunes on computer, you may need to use DFU Mode Restore. Here are steps: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.

  • Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?

    Is it possible to virtually bypass the battery on a macbook pro (retina 2014) and power the mac directly via AC power?
    E.g. Dell allows you to plug the laptop into AC power but prevent battery charging.
    Note: I do not want to physically remove the battery.
    If there isn't an option on Mac OS, is there anything I can download to bypass the battery when I want?

    Thanks for linking me! Wow I had no idea the clock speed would be cut so severely! What a bunch of rubbish, as if the AC won't provide enough power!
    I guess the only solution to my question would be an app which virtually disconnects the battery but tricks the mac into thinking the battery is still connected. I'm just surprised Apple haven't yet started to build prisons for the government - considering how well they lock up their software and hardware!

  • Forget the battery issue for a moment,

    I think the battery issue will be fixed, I think there are many reasons for it, I'm not going to speculate. What I would like to know is if you can forget the battery issue for a moment, What do you think of the 4S itself, the camera, mirroring onto apple tv etc...have you been happy with the phone and its functions and if it didn't have a battery issue right now would you reccomend it? I'm thinking about buying two of them and that is a substantial investment, just wondering if it's everything its cracked up to be...Thanks!

    Yeah it's a good phone.  It's my first iPhone.  I came from a Droid Bionic, so I am use to no battery life.  I usually charge it at my desk at work and it last all night until I get back to work.  I listen to music on my car, so it's tied to the USB input to my car, so I don't really have an issue with the battery.
    The camera is really good.  For a point and click, it's fast and the pictures are clear.  They only thing I run into, which is on every phone camera is smudges on the lense.
    It took a lot of getting use to going from the Bionic 4.3" screen to the 3.5" screen.
    I don't have the Aple TV set up, so I can't answer that.
    What I like about Apple products?  They work.  Very simply, they just work.

  • IPod battery just about had it, now acting weird

    iPod mini...i know the battery needs to be replaced, but it still works fine when i connect it to my adaptor in my car so i haven't sent it in yet. i just went to attach it to my computer to upload some new songs. the normal "do not disconnect" lit up, but then it made 4 beeping noises and went to the charge screen unanimated. my computer said it disconnected itself. now it is randomly connecting and disconnecting from my computer. what is going on???

    I think you may have answered yourself on this one. You admit that your battery is living on borrowed time so it is very likely that it's acting strange because the battery just doesn't have enough juice to behave properly.
    Just thought I should mention though....you may benefit more if you post in the correct section for your player. This is the nano section, not the mini.

  • Paranoid about the battery

    Ok, I got my nano today and I have fallen in LOVE with it. Just wondered about the battery though. I got it out of the box, choved it on my Mac and away i went! It said it was fully charged after like an hour though - not even that? I took it out anyway, was I right to do that? Anyway, I was just thinking about this '12 hour battery life' thing, when are you likely to get this 12 hours? At a medium volume setting with minimum backlight etc?
    I just think the battery will go down a lot quicker (all of my friends iPods have *not so good* batteries so didn't want this to be a continuing problem)
    Thanks anyway
    ijmac

    I'm scared now though, this morning it said battery was empty and I needed to recharge, when recharging it didn't take 3 hours (I don't think) to recharge fully, it took less (maybe 2?)
    Also, when just unplugging the charged iPod the battery icon went down a bit? When i first got my nano, i charged it for like an hour (until it said fully charged), then as the icon went to half way, shoved it i again, soon after than i unplugged it to let it go all the way down to charge fully (as people recommend)
    Please don't say I've buggered up this wicked iPod =(

  • HT4528 Battery Life My iphone 5 loses battery life rapidly when used. IE calls, and apps anyone else with this problem? Is the battery bad?

    My I phone battery dies very rapidly whenever phone is in use. It never did this before I am thinking the battery is bad. Does anyone else have or had this problem?
    Thanks,

    It started with the last update. I don't think it is just a battery change out problem since it will sometime run down to 1-3%.
