MacBook not charging after drink spillage?
Hi,
About a month ago I spilled Drink ( Hennessey and Coke ) Over my laptop. The next day I opened it up and cleaned it with alcohol , also everything looked fine and no damage seen. Tho when I had my Mac up and running I noticed that not all my KeyBoard lights were working and that the battery was Charging VERY SLOW !! I mean it would take about a full day for it to fully charge up.
The rest was working fine. Till one day I forgot to charge my battery and my MAC died. And would not charge up again. So I had to replace my battery with a new Battery from ( Apple store ). So my mac was up and running again tho still charging very slow. Once again i forgot to leave it on charge and it run out of battery and once it dies it just wont start up or charge. I can see the green light tho its very dim.
-I have bought brand new DC PORT and swapped it with an old one did not help , same issue
-I have tried several charges no luck
So basically my mac only works if I have charged up battery and once it dies it just wont boot up. If any of you guys know what could be wrong or how can I fix it any suggestions are welcome & much appreciated !!
You need to take the computer to an authorized service center for assessment.

MacBook "Not Charging" after new power adapter.
Last week the power adapter that came with my 13in MacBook began to melt. I ordered a new adapter "60w MagSafe Power Adapter" plugged it in, and it lit up, but now my battery information on the screen says "Not Charging" and If I unplug the adapter, the computer completely shuts down. I had no problems with the battery or the adapter before the "meltdown" Gosh, My Mac was still charging even while in fire hazard mode Lol! Why is the new MagSafe adapter not charging my MacBook? Please Help!!!
Here's what I am getting under the power information:

battery is not charged after using all of my battery. what's wrong? is it about charge machine or my computer?

Of course it isn't — you've just drained it. Plug your AC adapter in and charge it up again. -
My Iphone 4 will not charge after ipdate to IOS 7.0.4, Does anyone have a solution ? I have tried apple cables and chargers. I see many have the same issue. Anyone made progress ?
No offence, but as with quite a few others, my Iphone stopped charging on mains after iOS 7.0.4 update too.
Not sure you can categorically advise that "it simply is not a software issue" when so many different people are having the same symptoms after updating their iOS Just have a quick Google!
Luckily my (original Apple) cable will still allow recharging via USB to a laptop. So, process of elimination would point to a bricked charger that was working faultlessly up until the iOS 7.0.4 update was applied. Seems quite a stretch to be a coincidence.
Look forward to an explanation ..... and an update? ...... -
IPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update
iPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update. Pls help me. I have tested my charger. Its working in another device. But my iPad 2 is not charging with other adapters too. What to do??
Hello, 92.romil.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would make sure you are using an Apple branded cable with your iPad. If you are, the troubleshooting steps in the article below may help. The steps listed below for the iPhone and iPod still apply to your iPad.
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

Ipad2 will not charge after ios7
Tried reset many times. Tried several apple cords.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Why would my older iPod not charge after sitting dormant for while?
Why would my iPod classic not charge after sitting dormant?
Be patient, leave it connected to a USB 2.0 port or wall charger, for at lease 2 hours.
It would normally takes about 30 minutes of charging, before the iPod Classic screen comes to life, if the battery has not gone bad. -
Ipad mini not charging after 6.1.2 ios update
I just updated my pad to the latest ios, then what i noticed is that it can't charge anymore. Charging is is still possible through laptop though but it's TOO SLOW... this is surely because of the update... what can we do... hopefully apple fixes this SOON...
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.

Battery Not Charging after 10.6.8 Update (Macbook Pro 13' i5 2011)
Hi,
I own a 4 months old Macbook Pro 13in with i5 processor. I was using it normally until yesterday, when a software update prompting for enhancements on thunderbolt drivers and some stuff regarding OS X Lion was displayed. I started the software update, let the macbook plugged in and went to sleep.
Today I found out that my battery is not charging anymore (when plugged in, the magsafe led lights green and the energy saver displays Not Charging). I've already tried to restart SMC to no result(unplugged, waited for 15 sec, plugged again and after 5 sec turned it on).
Basically, my macbook is now useless. I use it mainly in the college, cant have it always plugged in and my second half classes start tomorrow!
I dont have a time machine backup.
I dont want to open the macbook since its still under warranty. What should I do?

MacBook Pro not charging after OSX Lion 10.7.2 upgrade
After making the upgrade to OSx Lion 10.7.2 my MacBook Pro 2011 (2 months old) does not charge anymore, before worked perfectly.
Magsafe led was off, and battery indicator said power source is not connected. After the battery drained to empty, the magsafe turned on, but goes green to orange to off in cycles. During the cycles, the battery indicator was cycling also from calculating, not charging, etc. and the display was dimming like if I was plugin in and plugin off the magsafe connector. After having the computer connected during all night, now is charged but magsafe does not charge anymore.
I tried the SMC reset and chacked that firmware is up to date. Any clues of what is going on?Thanks a lot for replying, but what exactly does the istat widget program do?
Also, the fan noise seems like a normal noise every time I launch a program, but it's getting to the point where I am frustrated(annoyed) of the fan noise. I would've thought that upgrading to a Mac book would cause less fan noise because of it's high processor. Sometimes I feel like I should go back to a Dell or HP because of this problem, but at the same time, I love my laptop. ;) -
Macbook battery not charging after software update
I was doing some work on my MacBook (4,1) with the charger plugged in and the lid closed (I was using my TV as a montior. There was a software update for itunes and a few others and now it's saying the battery needs to be serviced!
The battery currently has 62% charge, i've not disconnected the charger once in teh few hours I was working. Anyone got any ideas as to what could cause this?
The change to needing the battery serviced was not straight after the update, I don't think so anyway. I've not really noticed it until I went to pick up my MacBook and it all started to go haywire. It because unresponsive, black screen etc.
I've tried to reset the SMC and i've checked the charge cycyles too and it's about 250 so there's no problem there. It's just annoying as this is the 3rd battery i've had for this macbook, the other two being replaced under warranty. Now the warranty is up and it needs chaging for a 4th time!Hi imi_uk,
I see you marked this question as "solved" is that the case?
If not, are you able to startup your computer via "safe boot" by holding the SHIFT key on startup (until the Apple logo appears and the gear appears below it).
The next step, would also be to boot off the system restore disc that came with your computer and attempt to repair the volume (the internal HD) via the the built-in disc utility. -
Mid 2010 Macbook Pro battery will not charge after plugging in firewire cable shut down computer
I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro with Lion installed.
I was running off battery, and I went to plug in a firewire cable, not plugged into anything, and when I inserted it, the computer shut off.
The computer would not turn on again without being plugged into the AC adaptor. The magsafe charger shows green, but the computer says not charging. The battery is showing 57%, but the indicator lights will only light up when AC charger is connected..
I have let it sit off, and plugged in for a couple hours, and nothing chages, and let it sit overnight not plugged in, but nothing.
I have read other forums about the same issue,, it seems like its a common issue, and some have said what it could be, but no one said what it IS.
I have tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, but to no avail.
When i plug in the AC adaptor, the computer immediately turns on (which I find kond of funny), and I am able to turn it off normally, and it will stay off, and I can also turn it on if the charger has been connected from pervious.

Macbook Pro battery not charging after getting new charger
Dog ate through my Macbook pro's charger, so I went to the apple store and bought a new charger. The big one, that states it is for Macbook Pros. 85w, I think?
Anyway. The Pro runs on the charger, but its battery is not charging.
I suppose it is possible the battery just up and died, but that would be a heck of a coincidence that it happened the moment I got a new adapter.
Do all adapters labelled for macbook pros charge all macbook pro batteries?I had recently the same issue : my battery didn't want to charge anymore. I bought a new charger. Same problem. The battery didn't want to charge (a message near the battery icon at top right of the screen : "battery is not charging").
I tried the SMC thing. Ever the same problem.
I checked I got the latest firmware for my MacBook Pro Unibody mid-2009 (with the non-removable battery). I got it.
My battery was less than 2 years old and got only 138 cycles.
And the green light on the charger was not so shining as usual.
Before going to an Apple Store, I just tried to clean my MacBook Pro power connecter.
And... It works !
The Power connector was just dirty.
Now my battery is charging again. -
Macbook not charging even after replacing battery
I have a 13" unibody that was having problems charging, and eventually died and would not run off of battery or the power cord. When I took off the bottom of the computer and disconnected the battery the computer would work fine as long as it was hooked up to the power cord. I bought a new battery and instaleld it and the computer worked flawlessly. I decided to recalibrate the battery per the instructions on the apples website and now when I plug the power cord into the computer for normal charging I get the "Not Charging" icon on the top. If I pull the plug it wont shut down it shows that it has a little battery left. The condition shows as normal and coconut battery shows the current charge @ 2%. Everything worked fine 6 hours ago.
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Resetting PRAM did not change anything.
The Magsafe LED is black, no color.
Message was edited by: Jo060Thank you for the reply.
I have a new charger coming in the mail so I will see if using that solves the problem. Right now there are 2 macbooks in the family with only one charger as my puppy chewed through he cord on the other one. I tried swapping the magsafe but keeping the same cord (magsafe to computer), but still didn't have any luck.
I think it's weird that I originally could not even power the Macbook on unless I removed the bottom, disconnected the battery and plugged in the power supply. Then when I installed a new battery it worked perfectly with or without the power adapter until I tried to recalibrate the battery.
