MacBook Pro 2011 not charging green light on charger

Bought my MacBook Pro early 2011, really took care of it, no problem till now. Was using it last night as usual and when plug in the charger this morning there's green light but not charging, usually when charging its orange, the battery level on the side is one green light blinking. Its completely dead and I can't power on. I found a way to power on the machine (press power button for 10sec and plug in charger while keep holding the power button for another 10sec) it powers on using AC but now the battery is not detected and no blinking light on the side and theres X icon on the battery! Have done SMC reset and all still no fix! found this somewhere on the net, apparently to bring dead batteries back to life we have to charge it with 85w charger, is it true? I mean if its true I don't mind getting a new 85w charger, or do I have to change a new battery since it's 3++ years old? Pls Pls Pls I need help big time..

Hi Ralph, thank you for responding.. I used to see those information like, condition, cycle count, etc before, but now its not showing up probably the battery is not detected. Any ideas? Thanks again..

  • Macbook pro 2011 has faint green light. won't turn on. what is the issue?

    I've had this problem twice and both times I've gone to the genius bar they've plugged it in and pressed a few buttons and it's working fine. It's a 2011 macbook pro 13 inch. Has a faint green and flickering orange light on the charger. I've tried resetting the SMC and the basic troubleshooting steps. I'm tired of going to the genius bar for a 5 minute fix. I can't turn it back on after it suddenly shuts off. Power button is not responding. It was updated and working fine. Im a student and can't afford to have this problem every week. What is the issue?

    Just face facts - if water (or any other liquid) reached you logic board or any other electronic components, you're going to be the victim of corrosion.
    Eventually, you'll need to have the logic board replaced. There are liquid sensors all over your MBP and the techs can tell if these have been activated. I wouldn't turn the computer on at all - if it were me, I would take it to your local Apple Store/AASP and get an estimate for repair. Rice & other desiccates may 'dry up' the liquid, but it won't undo the damage already done.

    Some basics please, what vintage is your MBP, have you plugged anything else into the wall socket to verify that it is live? which light doesn't turn on, the charger or the MBP?
    Hold the power button down for 15 seconds, wait for 2 then press it normally and see te MBP it turns on

  • My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

    My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

    The port can fail. Internal boards can fail. Batteries can fail. All with the result that no charging occurs. 
    You can try Resetting the System Management Controller and you can try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. 
    But usually you will have to take the mac in to a service place for testing.  It can get expensive, although occasionally it is not.

  • My macbook pro will not charge when I am using it.

    My macbook pro will not charge when I am using it. My battery will say "charged" then "not charging" and it goes back and fourth. It says "Power Source: Power Adapter". But when I use my pro it will loose the power source then reconnect a second later to it. This problem is getting annoying because I have to stop using my macbook pro to charge it.

  • My macbook pro is not charging ? Why

    MY macbook pro is not charging. the battery percentage sign disappear or shows there is no battery power. I take it to Apple shop and they told me after checking the problem is of the Hard disk . I have many important things on it . What do you think ?

    Perform a SMC reset:

  • Macbook pro says not charging but still the battery is charging

    macbook pro says not charging but still the battery is charging

    This isn't reference in any of the online support material that I've seen. Do you have a link to support this? Just curious is all.
    I had a similar issue on my wife's '09 MBP. Initially I thought it was the battery seeing as it's an older machine, but we tried resetting the SMC (after a bunch of other suggestions) and that seems to have done the trick.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 not printing on network with canon pixma iP4500

    Hi
    I am not able to print satisfactorily from my 15" MacBook Pro 2011 to my QNAP TS439 server that has my Pixma iP4500 installed.  I contacted apple support and after 45 minutes the operative gave up and said it was a QNAP problem.  I am fairly sure it is not, so please read on...
    Here is what happens.  I ( myself and Apple) select the correct printer from the menu on my MacBook Pro with the correct path and printer on the server using Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  As soon as I go to print something  it says it is waiting for 10 seconds, very quickly it gets extended out past 30 seconds, but never prints.
    I have tried another driver called the Canon Pixma iP4500 Gutenprint v 5.2.3.  This  will only print in black text.  If I try to print colours, I get a very wishy washy pastel effect that just about shows that there might be some colours there.  This is hopeless and most unsatisfactory.
    In my opinion, this points the finger at Canon's printer driver that has been supplied to Apple, because the printer driver for Windows 7 works perfectly from the Windows 7 x64 PC.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    Just a quick reply for others in case it helps....
    First you have to install the Canon drivers for Yosemite from Canon Printer Drivers v3.1 for OS X.
    Then since I had reset my Canon MP620 network settings, I had to start from scratch. I connected the printer to my new computer (with Yosemite) via USB and then launched the Canon IJ Network Tool.app (downloaded from the Canon web site) and it found the printer. However it hung on the last step "Searching for printers via access point...". At that point (after waiting a minute for it to give up), I had to read the IP from the Canon printer and enter it by hand in the Network Tool dialog.
    I then unplugged the USB cable, and went to the Printers and Scanners system preference panel. After a few minutes, the printer showed up and I was able to set it up.
    I then tried to set up the printer on a 2nd computer, running Mavericks. The Canon printer would not show up in the Printers and Scanners system preference panel, but after I launched Canon IJ Network Tool.app on that computer, the printer did show up and I could set it up there as well. This is all much more convenient than using a USB cable and sharing the printer, but, dang, is it complicated!

  • 2012 Macbook Pro 13" not charging past 99%

    I bought a 2012 Macbook Pro (new, not refurb) in December however it doesn't seem to be able to charge past 99% anymore, also the first 5-6% rapidly dischargers (within 10 minutes of disconnecting the power cord) without any obvious reason as to why? If the laptop were older I would think that its just the battery reaching its life cycle but this definitely should not happen in a 4 month old laptop. 
    Has anyone else experienced this issue or would have any suggestions?

    That is normal.
    Battery may not show a full charge in Mac OS X
    "If the battery icon in the Finder menu bar is set to show the percentage of charge , you might sometimes notice that the battery does not attain a full 100 percent charge when the power adapter is attached. This is normal behavior; battery life is maximized if charging is not continuously cycled on and off when the battery’s charge capacity is between 95 and 100 percent. When the battery level eventually drops below 95 percent, it will charge all the way to 100 percent."

    Resetting SMC is the proceedure that will correct any anomaly in the reported reading of the battery charge level.
    But you do not have to do it in this case.
