Macbook not charging, Magsafe green, immediate turn off if charger removed

Hello all
I have had a search for similar issues but found nothing quite the same.
I have a 2009 17" MBP with a 2 month old new battery in it. (not by Apple)
My current battery percentage is at 14% but my Magsafe is showing green to indicate 95% or above. When I remove the Magsafe my MBP automatically turns off like I've forced shut down.
I've looked in 'About my Mac' system report and it shows Battery not charging.
I have contacted the company who supplied the battery as it is under warranty, however, how do I know it is the battery?
I've tried resetting the SMC by using shift-ctl-option-power but it has not solved my problem.
Any help appreciated!
Here is all the info from the System Report.

There are many tales of woe on these forums about installing non Apple batteries.
My current battery percentage is at 14% but my Magsafe is showing green to indicate 95% or above. When I remove the Magsafe my MBP automatically turns off like I've forced shut down.
The green light indicates that it is providing power to the MBP. It does not mean that the battery is charged 95% or higher. Disconnect or take out the battery and the charger light will green.
If your charger was connected when you made the image of the battery data, it indicates that the battery is simply not being charged. The battery may in effect be dead or there is a problem in the charging circuitry. It would be best to have the MBP evaluated by an Apple store genius bar for a definitive analysis. The evaluation will be FREE.
My money says that the battery is the problem.
Ciao.

My iPad is frozen. Does not turn off or charge just black screen with logo. Tried to reset by pressing the two buttons and nothing.

Then you should try restoring the iOS software next. Read this and pay attention to the last part of the article that describes recovery mode, you may have to restore your iPad that way.

HT3964 I have a macbook pro and it randomly will turn off

I have a macbook pro and it randomly will turn off. This happens when the computer is plugged in and when it is not. The condition of the battery says: good.

I borrowed someones charger and after 5 to 10 minutes of charging it turned on. The charger light came on amber and was amber during the entire charge and has been green since. Unlike my charger which would only come on green, or very very dim green no matter what since the batter has died completely. Do you think that this is definitely the problem or is there anything I should check while I have it on and running?

How can I turn off battery charging when plugged in to power on a plane?

Hi,
is there an app that can turn off battery charging while plugged in?
I regularly fly from Australia to Europe (22 hours on the plane!) but the power outlet usually stalls when draining too much power
(e.g. 85 Watts for my Macbook Pro battery).
Any solutions available?
I used to just take out the battery, however, that is not possible anymore on the Macbook Pro.
Thanks for your help.

But why turn off battery charging, makes no sense in this case. You either run off the battery or plug it in and run off the battery while it is charging.
The power draw won't change appreciably.
My bad power consumption will change
It would seem the best strategy would be to get on with a fully charged battery plug in the laptop and let it trickle charge as you use it. Given the length of the flight this should give you the longest use with the minimum amount of draw from the seat outlet.

Can you turn off the charging feature when using accessories?

Can you turn off the charging feature when using accessories with the iPad?

You cannot overcharge the battery when using the power adapter. Once the battery is fully charged, the iPad will no longer continue to charge if it is still connected. I leave my iPad on the power adapter for hours on end - on weekends when I am not at work.

These are both worthwhile reading for concerns about the battery and how to properly maintain it.
I know nothing about external speakers with the iPad since I do not use them - but If the speaker is with a dock of some sort that charges the iPad - you should have no worries. If it is a dock that charges the iPad - I know of no way to turn off the charging feature, but it will not shorten the life of the battery anyway as long as the battery is properly maintained and cared for.

Macbook pro 15" and 17" display turns off whilst working then.......

I have 2 macbook pros. One 17" and the other 15" both are the non unibody ones. The 15" had this problem a while ago but my 17" never did it until today and then it did about 5 mins ago.
Whilst I am working (never seems to happen when I am not using it) the display turns off whilst working. The power light remains constant (ie:- not fading in and out when asleep). But here is the strangest thing. The mac repetitively makes the same noise as if it was ejecting a disk. Has anybody else had this? Know a cure? I recently upgraded to snow leopard but don't think this is a software issue.

I got the same problem with mine, 15". I bought it refurbished from apple store. I had this problem when i bought it then nothing happened for 4 months. But now my MBP has started doing it again. And i don't think it's a software issue. My display switch on after few sec, or 1-2 mins it's depends, and it's pretty random. i'm a bit of worry

I have an ipad mini that won't power on. It was turned off to charge overnight. In the morning it was warm and now won't turn on no matter what I do. I've tried resetting using the power / home button combination and nothing works.

If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.

Yoga S1 Can we turn off battery charging?

I am a new user for the Yoga S1, but I was wondering if it is possible to turn off battery charging. I mainly use my laptop at a desk (so I rarely leave it unconnected from Power Plug). I know this is bad for the battery. On a dell that I own (Inspiron 14z) i can turn off battery charging when the laptop is plugged into the ac power plug. Is this possible w/ the lenovo yoga S1? The closest I've gotten to doing this was seeing an ability to turn off battery charging via BIOS, but that is only temporary (when comp is off and unplugged to switch out battery).
Any suggestions woiuld be greatly appreciated.

How do I remove Facebook contacts from my Contacts list on my 4S??? I've already gone into iCloud settings and Facebook is not even an option to turn off and I've gone into "Groups" in my contact list and Facebook is not there either. How do I stop this

Hmmmm...maybe try deleting them again (I know it's a pain) and then doing a manual icloud backup (unless you already did this). Icloud may be putting them back on there. I never allowed FB to put the contacts on my phone lol. Also try going into Privacy and Contacts...make sure FB isn't on in there. Might be a few other spots to check under settings to make sure too. And...you might want to try deleting the FB app, do a icloud backup, and then reinstall FB

HT4293 I have an Apple monitor model A1316 is using for Windows computer, but I could not adjust the brightness. The monitor is not bright enough when I turned off the lights in my room.

Have you plugged the USB cable into the computer also as the brightness is controlled over USB. If this does not work, you would need the Apple Display Driver for the version of Windows that you are using. The display driver is part of BootCamp software that you may be able to find online

MacBook Pro turns off instantly, charger sparkles.

MB Pro (Early 2011) turns off instantly if I move my charger cable or touch magnetic DC connector (L-type). I can also hear connector sparkle, when moving it. It started happening recently and now it's getting on my nerves, especially if I forget to save a project (because I would have to start all over again). I've read a lot of topics on this problem, but haven't found the exact circumstances.
It would be grateful if somebody explained me the reason and suggested a solution for this issue.

i know this is a year old, but did you ever figure out what the problem was? my mid 2010 macbook pro is doing this... a lot, but only as of recently. I use it a lot, but recently it has just started to move a lot slower, and has been doing things like this, it will not go into sleep mode( will go dark then come back on while closed), pinwheel of death etc..
anyway, it shut down 4 times in an hour the other day. its as if my charger stops working (the light wil go off) and at the same time my computer will crash. i dont know what is causeing it.. i also have the service battery warning, if that has anything to do with it.
any ideas of what the problem is? or of a solution....?

My battery will not charge unless it is turned off. has anyone else had this problem?, my battery will not charge unless it is turned off. has anyone else had this problem?

my battery on my iphone 4 will not charge unless the phone is turned off. Has anyone else had this problem?

Is this observed as the iPhone is plugged into a Computer or into an AC outlet; or both? In any case you should try a Reset of the iPhone by depressing the Sleep button and the Home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears then wait for the Reset to bring your iPhone back to the Lock-Screen.
