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.

Thank 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.

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. What should I do?

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.

My iPad is not charging even after rebooting and checking the charger on another device.

So your charger works on another device just not on your ipad?
if so, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

My MacBook Pro will not charge, even after resetting the SMC.

I'm getting a Plugged in, not charging message after replacing the CPU fan

I just replaced the CPU fan on this notebook last night and finished it today. Its running perfectly at the moment.
The problem is the windows Task bar on my desktop says "Plugged in, not charging" when I mouse over the battery indicator there. I've tried many things to fix it, from uninstalling or disabling the drivers for the devices involved (the ACPI battery and AC adapter) under Windows' device manager, to swapping out with my spare battery.
I've also switched power plans on the off chance that could have been causing some kind of battery charging setting. This did not fix it. The AC adapter works. I've been running this notebook for about two hours now searching for a solution, it just won't charge the battery. I've not tried observed it enough but I believe it will charge while powered off, but not while on. The orange LED indicator by the AC adapter port glows when the machine is off, indicating that it is charging.
I have a feeling the whole "uninstall device drivers for the battery devices" idea is a thing of the past. Everything I found which suggested doing that also mentioned Windows Vista, which at this point in time is a relic (July 2015). When I was replacing the CPU fan, it did get frustrating at times but everything is intact apart from some case clips and a few other plastic case parts. I have reason to believe everything is connected too because its still powered on, meaning its getting power, but it isn't going in to the battery.
Symptom summary:
Batteries: OKAC Adapter: OK
MOBO: PROBABLY OK
ME: NOT OK xD

Hey srkv121,
welcome to the forums
On
1. Optimized battery run time, the energy managment completely charges the battery to ensure maximum battery performance
2. On best battery health, energy management charges only 50% of the battery, it ensures maximum battery life but not performance
hope this helps

You can try a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Follow directions for "a battery you should not remove yourself"
Usually this message means the battery is dead, if no change after the SMC reset take to an Apple Store Genius bar (make an appointment) and have it replaced. (it is 4 years old)

HT201263 I have an iPod touch which will not charge even after staying on cable for days. It shows the red line on battery, and wont do anything else. Any tips for bringing this back from the dead?

I have done everything suggested by Apple. It does not show up in iTunes. It is a model A1288. It was working fine until the battery ran down. I hate to throw things away.

After charging overnight
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 3gs Battery Heating, iPhone does not start even after the battery replaced

Hello
Last night my phone was plugged into the car charger and suddenly it went blank and turnned off itself. I Tried DFU'in it but nothing worked. I charged it but all it does is heats up. Today I replaced the battery and it sill wouldnt work. I cant turn it on at all!
Can some one please help me.
URGENT!!
Thanks

Extremely doubtful. Without being able to get the phone up and running, it's impossible to say for sure, but I'm guessing any data that was on the phone is long gone.
As for what could be the issue... at this stage, I'll have to go with an all encompassing "it's broke". You're probably going to either have to find a professional repair shop or just buy a new phone. Apple won't touch it at this stage since you opened it yourself.

Trackpad hard to click even after replacing battery

Hello,
I have a MacBook pro 2011 and I came to the point where I needed to change the battery because it was no longer holding its charge and it was pushing up on the trackpad making it hard to click. (The clicking worked/works, it is just moderately hard to click on it.) I replaced the battery and now the battery works fine just the trackpad still doesn't click properly or as easily as it should. Any sudgestions to what i should do to make it be easier to click? Any help would be great thanks!!

Tim Guisinger...
From what I gather pressing the button twice or holding on the button more that a couple seconds can crash the circuits. You may have to reset the logic board. Getting into a big hurry can be a disaster here. See below from the service manual.
<hr width="200">
Many system problems can be resolved by resetting the Cuda chip (see the Symptom/Cure tables for examples). Press the Cuda reset button on the logic board to reset the Cuda chip. (The Cuda reset button is located on the back edge of the logic board between the modem port and the processor module. Refer to the Logic Board Diagram in the Basics chapter for location information.) If you continue to experience system problems, refer to Resetting the Logic Board later in this chapter.
<hr width="200">
Resetting the logic board can resolve many system problems (see the Symptom/Cure tables for examples). Whenever you have a unit that fails to power up, you should follow this procedure before replacing any modules.
1. Unplug the computer.
2. Disconnect the cable that runs from the power supply to the power filter board on the bottom side of the logic board/mass storage chassis.
3. Press the Power On button on the front of the unit.
4. Remove the logic board/mass storage chassis from the unit.
5. Remove the battery from the logic board.
6. Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing the battery.
7. Make sure the battery is installed in the correct +/- direction.
8. Reassemble the computer and test the unit.
Note: This procedure resets the computers PRAM. Be sure to check the computers time/date and other system parameter settings afterwards.

The above instructions may get you going.

PLEASE HELP -T61p- CCFL lamp not working even after replacement

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post so please bear with me.
Skip the first three paragraphs if you don't have time.
I bought a T61p in jan-2008. I have sent this thinkpad to service centers for repair a couple of times, once for replacing the motherboard( the bios updater screwedup) and the other time for a broken LCD hinge. The service was excellent (they even sent me spare parts a couple of times like keyboard, touchpad etc).
A few months ago i spilled some beer on the keyboard, so immediately switched it off, opened the laptop and carefully cleaned everything. Switched it on, TADA it works as good as before.
A couple of months back i realized my warranty is about to expire so i though i would send the system for a final checkup. Now the guys at the service center tell me that there is a spill and to repair it i need accidental coverage which i don't have and cannot buy after the "accident". To repair it they asked for an advance of $800 - the laptop costs around 1400, it seemed to me that the cost of repair was too high. So they send me back my machine.
Now when i switch on my machine, i can see that the screen is active (if i look it at an angle i can see even different colors) but it is almost pitch black. I did some research, bought an inverter and lcd connection cords from lenovo and replaced the old one, no difference. Thought it must be the CCFL lamp, so bought a new lcd screen and replaced the existing one, still no difference. Frustrated, i removed the whole lcd from the hinge and connected my machine to an external monitor, this works perfectly.
My Question: Where is the problem, i replaced lcd, inverter, the connector cords. If there is problem with the graphics card the external monitor shouldn't work(i can even play games on it). Is there anything that can be done (a laptop is better than a converted desktop). Please share your expert thoughts, opinions and comments.
Thanks,
Elliot

Trackpad Not Working Even After Replacement

About 3 months ago, I spilled water all over my T510. Everything worked afterwards, except for the trackpad and fingerprint reader. The trackpad was not even seen in BIOS. The fingerprint reader lit up, and I could turn on the laptop by sliding my finger over it, but it would not log me in, and was not detected in the OS. I removed the pamlrest, and the wires going to the motherboard had been corroded when I spilled the water.
Yesterday, I got my replacement palmrest, with trackpad and FPR included. I replaced the old one with the new one, and I checked in the bios. The trackpad was shown, along with the TrackPoint. Both were set to "Automatic". When I booted into Debian, neither the trackpad nor the trackpoint worked. I tried Windows, and it was the same. Here is what I've tried:
Palmrest Disconnected:
Trackpoint: works
Trackpad: does not work (duh)
Palmrest Connected, Trackpad Disabled in BIOS, Trackpoint Enabled:
Trackpoint: Works
Trackpad: does not work (duh again)
Palmrest Connected, Trackpad Enabled in BIOS, Trackpoint Disabled:
Trackpoint: Does not work
Trackpad: Does not work
Palmrest Connected, Trackpoint and Trackpad Enabled in BIOS:
Trackpoint: Does not work
Trackpad: Does not work
Palmrest Connected, Trackpoint and Trackpad Disabled in BIOS (I don't know why I included this):
Trackpoint: Does not work
Trackpad: Does not work
Does anybody know what is wrong? I really hope it isn't my motherboard.

It is hard to diagnose from 3000 miles away, but my guess is that if the cable got wet, so did the connector on the motherboard and/or the traces to it. If it was just water and only a drop got on the motherboard, it is possible that there is a small short at the connector (either on the outside or the inside) If that is the case, maybe cleaning it with electronics cleaner (best) or denatured alcohol will help.

Satellite A100-225 is not charging even with new battery

Hi, Having a charging problem. Laptop suddenly shut down whilst using. Tried to start up but power light goes out and it shuts down again. With battery connected and ac adapter switched on the blue power light and yellow battery light stay on a few seconds and then shuts down, not allowing start up.
Took the old battery out thinking it was that and my laptop starts up fine using just the ac adapter as this is how I am currently posting this. Refit the battery and the power light comes on and off again every few seconds and prevents start up.
Have purchased a new battery thinking it was faulty but to no avail, exactly the same problem.
Left the laptop off to charge the new battery but noticed the blue power light and yellow battery light going on and off together every few seconds.
If I try to start the laptop up while the power light is on it starts to start but as soon as the power light goes out it stops. My thoughts are the charging unit inside my laptop is shorting out but I am no expert.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and would it be expensive to fix as I have just spent 48 on a e new battery.
Thanks Mick

>Refit the battery and the power light comes on and off again every few seconds and prevents start up.
Are you sure that the battery is compatible ? did you purchase the genuine battery from Toshiba ASP?
I think batteries from 3rd party retailer could not be compatible always so I would test the notebook with a battery recommended by Toshiba.
At the other hand it could be a motherboard problem but if the notebook start up properly using the AC adaptor, I would not be quite sure if its really a mobo issue.
Try also this:
Remove battery and AC adaptor, press power button 30sec long.
Then insert the battery and connect AC adaptor and check if you could power up the unit.

CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it. I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps). So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens. What next?
