Macbook Pro charger light is orange.

Macbook Pro charger light is orange. I has always been green before. This time I got a "low battery" warning at about 20%. When I plugged in charger it went immediately to zero and the light is orange. Problem?

Note that if your machine has a built-in battery, it doesn't need to be calibrated.

  • Macbook pro charger light flickering, tried smc reset and undoing cord in back inside computer, nothing working....

    I have tried to do everything I can find in previous forums, ex: smc reset, removing back panel and undoing cord for a min, nothing seems to work, any ideas please.

    There are no settings Readers can suggest you change for different results.
    Your appointment at the Genius Bar for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out. These guys put their hands on these Macs all day every day, and Power and other Physical Problems is what they are good at.
    Plus they have lots of spare parts they can swap around to figure out what it is doing in a hurry.

  • My macbook pro charger blink green than orange

    This is not unusual. Does the light change to and stay green after the battery is fully charged? If it does the charger and the battery are working as they should be.

  • Macbook Pro charger Problem

    My Macbook Pro charger does not light up anymore when plugged in?  Have tried multiple plugs around the house and still nothing?  Problem with the charger or the computer itself?  do they wear out?

    Take everything in for analysis.

  • My brand new MacBook pro charged last night but now won't turn on, help!

    My MacBook pro charged fully last night but now won't turn on, the green battery light is flashing but no matter how long I hold the power button it won't start. I just bought the MacBook in January.

    Well then it isn't really Brand New. Brand New kinda means you bought it yesteerday or 2-3 days ago.
    In any event youy need to take it to Apple and have them fix or replace it.
    You have a hardware problem that only Apple can fix.

    Do other USB devices work on your MBP?
    Does this USB stick work on other MBPs?
    There is a possibility that the stick requires more power than the MBP delivers.  Try it on a powered hub.

  • MacBook Pro Charger - Intermittantly Stops Working

    Hi All,
    I have had my macbook pro now for just over a year and unlucky for me im 20 days out of my 1 year warrenty and now not entitle to upgrade to apple care because of this when i phoned techincal support
    The macbook pro charger is working intermittantly so it isnt completely dead.
    if i wiggle it around or sit the cables just right it will work but it isnt working 1005 off the time like it used to.
    I have a 2010 macbook pro with the L shape charger. I have manager to get another old style T shape charger off my friend which works perfectly with my macbook pro but will this harm my battery life because im using an "older" charger? but its brand new. also do you think its worth going into my local apple store in milton keynes to see if they can help me at all? as my gripe is you pay £1000 for a laptop and one year on the charger brakes. And i do look after my equipment. Its not like i throw it about or mistreat it.
    I think it could of happened early if i used it more.
    Is this a common fault?
    Thanks
    Daniel

    If you have bought AppleCare Extended Warranty, MBP is in warranty for 3years
    from the date of purchase.
    Best thing to do, is to take the MBP to the Apple store for evaluation and possible repair / replacement.

  • Macbook pro charger wont work AT ALL!

    Words cannot even explain how furious I am. My 9 month old MacBook Pro charger does not work, all of a sudden!
    There is no damage to the charger at all and my laptop is in great condition. I need a solution and fast because this laptop has my whole life on it which leaves me irritated seeming i need it for my studies!! I don't know what to do, its 4am in the morning in australia and my laptop is completely dead! HELP!!!!!

    Take your computer and power adapter to the Apple Store when it opens in the morning and they will take care of it.
    This problem is often caused by winding the DC (computer-end) of the cord directly around the "ears" on the body of the power adapter. The "approved method" is to make a one to two inch (25-50mm) loop in the air, THEN begin winding the cord.
    I bought my wife an aftermarket car-charger for her MacBook. In addition to being able to use the computer for a while in the car, now we have a backup. If the regular charger dies, we can recharge the 'Book off the car.

  • Macbook pro charger- burning out.  surveyish?

    i have already swapped my macbook pro charger out twice, as after 2 months they tend to stop working, and the problem is the little place where the wire meets the magnetic connector. i know that bending it ruins its durability and life, so i tried to not do that. i thought i did it pretty successfully, until my first charger burnt out after it got extremely hot. it would stop charging for periods at a time, and there were places in the wire, specifically where it met the power brick and connector, where you could see right to the copper/ whatever the **** material it is because it got so hot that it melted the plastic. the apple store has replaced it twice, and i am about to go in for the 3RD charger. does anyone have a recommendation on something that would hold the wire still inbetween the connector and full wire? and who else has had this problem? there isnt a problem with the mbp, its just the connectors suck as5 and blow out.

    Ditto over here.
    My connector-cable junction has always been slightly twisted. It's a more complex curve than just a twist, but wasn't perfect from the factory for sure.
    The plastic jacket has now just torn this week and there's braided shielding and lots of unsavory bits showing.
    Oh, and it started to singe a cushion it was touching. It was starting to burn.
    Very antithetical to the "It just works" vibe.
    "It just burns" is more like it. =:o
    Seems like this particular Achilles heel didn't get much field testing before it was unleashed.
    Wasn't the Mag-Safe connector supposed to put an end to the whole problem of a $3,000 laptop being felled by a $1.79 connector/jacket on the AC adapter?
    I'm on batteries four and five as of this writing, so the topic of power management and the MBP is getting to be a rather sore subject.
    Will try to swap it out at work or might have to belly up to the Genius Bar.
