Macbook Pro-battery does not charge when on standby

Funny thing, I discharged my battery recently and when I plugged my power adaptor I put the computer to hibernation. When I opened the screen the charge was still 15%, same as b4 hibernating. The computer would not charge the battery whenever I close the screen and the problem remains. Anyone had similar problems?

This isn't a normal behavior. Have you verify if the magsafe adaptor was properly connected, i.e. that the amber-LED was on?

  • MacBook Pro battery does not charge

    My macbook pro is dead after the battery went flat. Now the battery will not charge, the LED on the power cord remains green, and I am unable to turn on the computer. Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?

    When the battery is really dead there are three possibilities:
    - Reset the SMC and hope the problem went
    - Bring it to an Apple Service Provider, if it's covered under warranty
    - Buy a new battery
    All if it is the battery, and not something else with the power adapter or the MacBook Pro itself.

  • MBA battery does not charge when connected. Help!

    My MBA battery does not charge when connected to the charger. Ive checked the other threads and followed advice but nothing seems to help.. My battery health info is good, I've tried cleaning the magnetic pins of the charger, reset smc but it still does not charge. The light on the charger is green or does not come on sometimes, and it's the same for a few Power outlets. What else can I do? Would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.

    It recognizes the charger intermittently. After cleaning, it showed the charger as connected but not charging the battery. I will try my friends charger later to see if it works. Thanks for your help!

  • Battery does not charge when asleep

    Ever since I upgraded to Tiger my PowerBook battery does not charge when it is asleep and the display is closed. It only charges when the computer is active and display is up. Anyone else experiencing this? Solutions/work arounds??

    Hi, Donald. Try resetting your Power Manager, and you might also trash the preference file com.apple.PowerManagement.plist. If you trash the pref file, be sure to restart and reset your preferred Energy Saver settings afterward.

  • Battery does not charge when my Satelite Pro L500 is off

    Hi.
    I have a Satelite Pro L500. Normally when it is plugged in the DC in and Battery led lights are lit up. Now both are off when it is plugged in and the computer is off. I have found that in this state the battery is not charged. The computer will not switch on while the power is plugged in. If I remove the power source and wait a few mins the computer will now switch on and opperate normally.
    If I now plug in the power the leds are lit and the battery is charged

    Hm. You mean the notebook does not boot up when AC adaptor is connected but it powers up if the AC adaptor is not connected?
    Looks like an hardware issue maybe power supply electronic problem
    Of course the AC adaptor should be checked too
    L500 is not a very old notebook series and I think the warranty should still be valid
    In such case everything should be covered by warranty so dont loose the time and get in contact with an ASP technician

  • Macbook Pro battery is not charging but the battery meter is full

    Hi guys!
    I have a 19 months macbook pro. I've tried using 2 different AC adapter but my mac's battery is still at 0% and the status says "Battery is not charging". I think my battery is dead but the LED battery indicator on my battery shows 5 lights, means its at full power.
    I've tried to disconnect the AC cable and remove the battery, then press the power button for 10 sec but nothing change when i start my mac again...i also tried to reset my PRAM ( i think ) by holding a cmdopt+PR while rebooting but it didn't help to solve the problem too. I also have the battery update 1.2 installed on my mac and the results is still the same.
    This is my battery info from system profiler. I hope someone can tell me what to do before I visit the Apple store.

    Hello,
    I am having some strange battery behavior. I bought a FastMac TruePower Battery that is supposed to have extended capacity. Now when the battery dies, i plug in my MagSafe to charge it and it immediately says 'not charging', but then begins to charge. It either continues to charge and gets stuck at 80% or so and reads "calculating" in the menu bar, or just jumps between 'charging' and 'not charging'. The symptoms are very strange, and FastMac already sent this battery back saying it passes all of their tests. I do not want to send it back again because they charged me to send it back to myself even though it still does not work as advertised. I have my original Macbook Pro Apple battery which still charges fine, so i assume it is a problem with the battery based on a simple process of elimination.

  • SMC Reset and Macbook Pro Battery still not charging

    Hi, I bought a new Macbook Pro the Christmas before last (2 years ago) and unfortunately didn't remember to buy the AppleCare. (Didn't have the money to purchase it as I was buying the computer) Anyway, today my charger decided to stop recharging the battery. The battery icon says the battery is charging but the LED light on the charger is not on at all and when I click on the battery status it says "Battery is Not Charging." I've already tried the usual troubleshooting and Resetting the SMC but it didn't work. I also checked the status on the battery and my computer said it was Normal. What else can I do? I really need this laptop for college and the battery has to be usable.

    If available, try a different charger.
    What does System Report>Power say under AC CHARGER INFORMATION?
    Ciao.

  • Macbook Pro Battery Is Not Charging but Condition: Normal

    Hi,
    This question may have been answered but I couldn't find any information about problems with the same symptoms as my own. My 2010 MacbookPro battery is not charging but the green light on the adaptor is green when plugged in. Laptop will die if power adaptor is removed. Have attempted SMC restart but still receiving following information.

    Condition is NORMAL but the Cycle Count has been reduced to 0 which it definitely is not after about 20 months of use but I cannot tell what the actual Cycle
    Count is for obvious reasons. I'd rather not have to get a new battery but am aware this could be neccessary. Was just curious if anybody else had experienced
    a similar problem and if they had it resolved as I cannot get to an Apple store for at least a month!
    Thanks for the help.

    A new development has just occured. I noticed the light on the adaptor suddenly turned orange. Now the battery is showing the following:

  • 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 is not charging.

    Hi,
    I recently purchased a replacement battery for my aging (2006) Macbook Pro.
    The battery did just fine, but only for 5 cycles. Now, it permanently shows a status of "not charging".
    I had started to think that maybe my power block had developed a fault, but eliminated that by going to a local re-seller who kindly let me plug it in using one of their blocks. I got the same status.
    Can anybody tell me anything from evaluating my status data, or better still, suggest a fix before I go about returning the battery? I am particularly foxed by the fact that this appears to show the battery condition as 'Normal'.
    Here is the data when I look into the 'Power' section of 'About this Mac':

  • Macbook pro battery reports not charging replace now

    Hi,
    My MacBook Pro reports that it is not charging and the status is "replace now". This is an early 2008 model so is it simply the fact that the battery is due for replacement or could there be another explanation :
    I have not used the Mac Book for a few months and battery lasted 3-4 hours on last use.
    The battery has only had 30 power cycles, I thought that average should be about 300 ?
    Did Apple recall/replace known issues with batteries in this model/date, even so it probably isn't valid now ?
    Thanks
    Jake

    There have not any battery recalls that I am aware of.  I suggest you go to the Apple store and have the MBP examined.  Your cycle count is very low but the battery is not new, coupled with the fact the MBP warning message is there for a purpose.
    Ciao.

  • Since I installed 10.9.3 my macbook pro battery will not charge?

    Hi,
    New to posting on here.  I installed 10.9.3 2 days ago and since then I have had an X over my battery icon.  Having checked hardware it doesn't even recognise that a battery is there.  Only works now with power lead plugged in.  The Macbook Pro is about 18 months old.  Would really appreciate any help!

    gartonashmol,
    have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller?

  • Fully depleted battery does not charge when BlackBerry 10 smartphone is connected to charger or usb

    HI
    I have a BB Z10, two days ago while travelling the battery got fully depleted and the phone got turned off. later I connected to the BB charger and the phone wouldn't charge, I tried to connect it to USB but it still wont charge.. just the constant blink of red light. I tried to remove the battery for 2 hours and plugged it back and no luck there. As I need my phone working, I tried to go to a service center but not able to locate the one listed on the BB website, I bought a new 
    BB Z10 battery and it worked fine. I went back to my place and it took about 1 hour for me and again the battery had discharged and I am with the same problem now. Now when I connect my Z10 to the computer (windows 8.1) I get a red+green slow blinking light and after say 20 minutes it connects to the computer and the phone get switched on... and when I see the phone it says Ëxiting battery saving mode""immediately followed by "turning off device" and the it loops endlessly.
    Please help!!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You need to use a known working wall outlet, not a USB cable to the PC, as a PC USB outlet normally doesn't have the charging amperage of a wall outlet.
    So, connected to the wall outlet, leave it several hours. Then, still connected to the wall outlet, remove the battery a minute and reinsert to reboot.
