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 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..

  • Macbook pro will not charge, green light stay on.

    today it ran out of charge and ive plugged the charger in, but it doesnt seem to charge. The light on the charger did not turn from green to orange, it stayed green. It has been like that for about 30 minutes now. The computer will not turn on when I press the power button.

    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    If this does not help, contact Apple.
    Best.

  • My MacBook Pro will not charge (no light on adapter)

    I've been trying to charge my macbook all day, but it will not charge - the adapter light (green or amber) will not even turn on, and the computer is cold. Is it likely the adapter, battery, or something larger?

    Hi  jsfisher13. Will your Macbook Pro start up with battery and power cord attached? If so, download coconut battery app. I will give you a link. I have a 2009 Macbook that my daughter uses and it does not show as charging and will not run with battery removed. What I found is, that with coconut battery app, the Macbook was charging . But it was so slow that it would not show in the apple systems power or at the battery icon on the top menu. The charge rate was between 2.5 and .3 amps.Should be at least 12 volts. or 23 amps. Her Macbook took 8 hr. to go from 30% to full charge. If you can not see any green at all on the mag safe power adapter, even a very faint green you might have a defective dc in board. That is what you are plugging the mag safe into. It plugs into the logic board. You would have to take it to the apple store to have them run a test on it.http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/

  • 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.

  • 2011 MacBook Pro Battery Not Charging

    17" 2011 MacBook Pro 2.2ghz i7 8GB RAM (upgraded OWC), 128GB SSD (in optical bay), and stock 750 GB HD. Running Lion. Battery cycle count: 15
    Battery is not charging after a heavy GPU or CPU load (gaming, editing, HD movie streaming). Tried multiple SMC resets and a PRAM reset. It was charging after you let it sit for several hours. I sent it into Apple for a repair and was rejected because of the missing optical drive (that's another story), anyhow, when it came back it won't charge at all. Battery says (not charging) but running on AC power. The Magsafe light is not lit. The Magsafe port was replaced on the computer, but that didn't fix it.
    Trying to avoid having to reformat and send into Apple (change it back to stock config).
    Anyone have a solution?

    The battery can't be charged when the cpu is under full load because in that situation it is using power from the battery.  Shut the MBP down (not sleep) to see if it will charge in that mode.

    I NEED HELP QUICK DO I NEED A NEW BATTERY OR CABLE COULD IT BE A PROBLEM WITH MY MAC ???/

    Unplug your AC adapter from its wall socket for one minute, then plug it back in. Any change? If not, reset your computer's SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If that doesn't jump-start it either, see this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
    Try a different AC adapter if you have access to one. If you don't, visit an Apple Store and test with one there.

  • Macbook Pro battery not charging suddenly

    Hi,
    This morning, I was using my computer, no problem. And then I plug it in and start writing a paper. Then I saw the battery indicator as green so I pulled it out and the computer shut down. When I turned it back on I realized that it was running on charger. It said that battery condition "Replace Soon." Then I turned it off again, reset the SMC and I saw an X on battery icon, saying no battery is there. I restarted it again and now it saysreplace soon again.
    What is causing this? Do I have to get the battery replaced and pay or is it apple's fault since the battery died in like 2 hours? It was fine this morning, used it on battery power for almost 3 hours.
    Any suggestions??

    I keep my MBP connected to the power adapter if I have an outlet available.  My 2010 MBP has about 80 cycles on it.  I will about once per month use the MBP on internal power to about 50% discharge.

  • MacBook pro battery not charging anymore, Replace Now, Unibody 2011

    Hi everyone
    I have a MacBook pro unibody from 2011 (usually used on power but sometimes dischared) and suddenly my battery is indicating "not charging" (is constantly to 0%) and I have the following diagnostic (in the about my mac).
    If I remove the plug, the Macbook shutdowns immediately, I cannot connect it to any wifi network, and the date & clock are reset if I unplug it.
    I tried the SMC reset and event the reset the NVRAM (PRAM on intels) (I am not sure about the SMC reset as there is no evident signs it has worked...).
    My battery only has 120 charge cycles... and my warranty is of course finished. I have read on some forums that I maybe have to "unplug the battery" manually ? And changing the so few used battery seem to be too expensive...
    Does anybody has an idea ?
    Thanks for your help

    Whether you had the Applecare extended warranty or not it would not cover the battery on a 2011 model. Apple considers the battery to be a consumable item that will fail eventually. Because of that after the first year of ownership Apple does not replace the battery for free, in warranty or not.
    That is not necessarily the case.  I had a battery replaced free of charge well after one year of use.  There is latitude exercised by Apple in determining if and when a battery should be replaced for free.  I suggest that there is a strong argument in the case of one with 120 cycles.  As is the case with any part, some that are produced are defective and fail prematurely, whether it is a battery, HDD, RAM chip etc.

  • Macbook pro battery not charging since lion upgrade

    I have a Macbook pro 13'' (2010 Mid) and my battery doesn't charge since last night. I installed Lion 3 days ago, and the battery was charging correctly, but since last night it doesn't charge anymore.
    At first, I thought it could be the magsafe problem, but after a few hours the battery started recharging again.
    Any idea?

    You're lucky, my friend, because at least you can use your MBP corded.
    Mine doesn't work even with MagSafe plugged. I have an almost dead MB with less than 30% battery... it's like "the final countdown" ...
    What the h... is Apple waiting for to release any solution or at least talk about this officially ?
    Grrr...
    This didn't happen to me since I bought my first iBook G3 computer and its Sony optical drive was working poorly for months !!  Finally, Apple "decided" to release a new firmware, just when I had bought an external recorder...
    This issue also stinks...
