Macbook pro has trouble turning on when battery is fully charged

I have fixed the logic board of my MacBook Pro through Apple service care around a month ago due to liquid damage. It has been working perfectly fine until reccently it has been having problem turning on when battery is fully charged to 100%. The laptop automatically shuts down and is unable to turn on again unless I unplug the charger. It still works perfectly fine when the battery is not 100% and the battery is still able to charge properly.
I still have 90 day warranty for my service repairment but I'm currently on vaccation and will not be back on time. Wondering if anyone had the same situation or solutions to the problem! Thank!

Thanks for the help!
I have tried SMC and it doesnt seem to respond in any way. I'm not really sure what the PRAM test is.
I've tried calling Apple in the states but it requries me to pay 49 USD in order to get a tech person to talk to me.
I'm currently in Asia and we don't have any Apple Stores, we do have Authorized dealers here but I'm not sure if they will be able so assist me without asking me for service charge. Do you happen to know if there's any contact I would be able to phone without being transfered?
By the time I get back to the states I'm going to be 2 days after the 90 days warranty (August 16th) and I don't know if I should wait and risk it?

Mac book pro won't turn on and battery is fully charged..

My Mac book won't turn on... The battery is fully charged, we have it hooked up to power... We've tried holding power button down and disconnecting from power but nothin have worked! It makes a noise like its going to turn on and little white light flashes but nothing happens

Try a safe boot, see if it starts, this takes a bit longer. Push power button while holding shift key, continue to hold key till you see the progress bar. If it boots, shut down and try to boot in the normal way. Best

MacBook Pro won't turn on after closing lid & fully charged. Help!

I have a MacBook Pro from June 2008, I have been using it all day, this evening it was fully charged and I left it on with the screen open - by the time I came back the screen was black ( I assumed it had gone to sleep) I closed the lid to take it upstairs to discover that when I opened it the power light was not on. When I press the power button nothing happens, but if I hold the power button for around 5 seconds the light stays on, the laptop sounds like it is trying to start up but then dies. I have tried the smc reset, but it has not worked. Also tried taking the battery out and trying this with just power adapter. Does anyone have any clues to what is wrong? Or do I just take it into the apple store?
Thanks, really could do with some help!!

Hey Pascale,
I am not sure if you have fixed this but I had the same problem and found some advice from another website...
http://www.adeepbite.com/lion-seems-having-insomnia-it-doesnt-sleep-easily/
All I had to do was turn off my "internet sharing" (System preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing (uncheck) )
and presto, no more closing lid problems.
If your internet sharing wasn't the issue then I don' t know what is.
Cheers

The battery's probably drained and the power brick on the fritz. Unfortunately, if she won't start there's little we can do for software-based diagnosis. You'll have to take it in to a Store or Service Provider for assessment.

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!

What do I do when my macbook pro just shuts down and when I plug my charger in, it faintly blinks green and yellow and doesnt charge?

Hi aaliyafrommarkham,
In order to troubleshoot this, I would recommend that you start with an SMC reset. Information on this procedure can be found here:

Can i use my mac on power supply when battery is fully charged??

can i use my mac on power supply when battery is fully charged??

Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.
If you keep the computer always plugged in, make sure that twice a month
run it on battery until battery level drops to about 50-40%.

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. Please help

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. I did restore the iPad about 8 times during the past 2 weeks. Just completed another restore. iTunes says the the iPad has been restored and will restart automatically and appear in iTunes when it is ready. That was 30 minutes ago. iPad still won't start. I am looking down the barrel of yet another fruitless restore. What a crap product.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

When battery is fully charged, screen says to disconnect power. User guide makes no note of this requirement...which is right?

When battery is fully charged on MiFi6620L, screen says connect power. User guide does not indicate this is necessary. Which is the better way. We always use the MiFi where we have power available.

Thank you for the response. The MiFi works off the battery just fine. Since the unit is our only Internet connection, we have it powered up all day so it seemed to make more sense to just leave it connected to the power source. The unit is turned off at night, but usually not disconnected from the power supply. That is what we did with our original unit and it seemed to be OK.

Low Battery Screen when battery is fully charged

My phone has started displaying the low battery screen, and refusing to do anything, after being unplugged from the charger for a few hours. The battery is fully charged, but after only 1-2 hours, the phone starts to display that warning screen and going back off. Sometimes, if you push the home key as soon as the warning screen goes off, it will come up normally. Sometimes, it won't.
I believe this all started (along with the texting issues several other people have had) after the last update, I believe it is 2.2.1.
Is anybody else having this issue? I have drained the battery and restored, I have reset the settings at least twice, I have forced a restart... any other suggestions? Thanks!

Same problem. Just sitting beside me on the table occasionally the screen light up for no reason flashing the red low battery screen. Pressing home, power, etc a few times brings the phone up and shows the true battery charge which is wherever it would normally be - from full to partial discharge depending on how much Ive used it. Seems to not really be indicating something with the battery but ore of a random phantom ghost bug in the OS somewhere that displays that screen for no reason.

Is it okay to keep mains connected when battery is fully charged

is it okay to keep the mains power connected once the battery is fully charged or should i disconnect from the mains power

There are two things that will kill an apple battery, charge cycles or lack of charge cycles. I've seen dead batteries with hundreds of cycles and others with a few dozen. You have to use it normally, meaning keep it charging, then unplug it and go use it on the couch as it was designed to be used. I've got two good years out of mine and its still at 83% health. If it starts to die next year its no big deal, $120 for a replacement battery is a drop in the bucket when you consider the original value of the computer and the amount of use I've gotten out of it.

My MacBook Pro has a white screen when I turn it on

When I start up my MacBook Pro. It just ha a plain white screen and I can also hear a faint beeping (like if you were on a desktop computer holding down a lot of keys on the keyboard) please can someone help me!!??

I can tell you what I did the last time this happened to me:
I made a careful note of my Display settings when my computer started up correctly and everything looked fine
... and, I ensured that the same settings were there the next time I restarted (and it happened that my screen didn't appear to display correctly) I checked these settings. If they had changed, I chose the one that 'worked' for me and it 'set' thereafter. In my case, it was 1280 x 800.
If I were you, I wouldn't shut down my computer too often (just telling you what I do.) I shut down mine only after a week or 10 days so that it can 'clean itself up.'
Hope this helps.

Macbook Pro does not turn on, service battery

Heres the backstory. One day, my mac simply wouldnt turn on. No video, no chime. Just one indicator light turns on, then turns off a few seconds later. then turns back on. After that happened, I brought my laptop to school the next day and plugged my friends charger into my computer and it worked. I got home and used it as a desktop for a while keeping it charged and plugged in. Then I needed it for school, so I unplugged it, and it couldnt come on again, exacty like before, just the indicator light coming on and off. i brought it home and charged it to full again, and it turned on, but it only worked if it was charged. if the charger led was green, it would work but if it was orange, it wouldnt. When it did work, under the battery status read "Service Battery." So I used it as a desktop, and then it froze, i force shutdown and now, even though charged, does the indicator light thing.
tl;dr, when i press the power button, nothing happens except the indicator light turning on then off then on again. Not sure if it is problem with charger, or my "Service battery," All i know is that when i use my friends charger it works, but mine gives the problem stated above. Worked for a while when charged to 100%, now doesnt.
MBP 7,1 33 months old tried smc resets, pram resets, didnt work.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

OS X is telling you that the battery isn't working, so it has to be replaced. When you see "Service Battery", it means that your battery has to be replaced.
In Early 2008 and older MacBooks Pro, you can buy the battery at the Apple Online Store and replace it yourself. If you have a newer MacBook Pro, take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller to have the battery replaced.
It's normal that batteries fail after years because their capacity goes down with charges

MacBook Pro (mid 2012) turns on when lid is closed and MagSafe gets attached or detached.

I own a mid-2012 Macbook Pro with the 15" high resolution screen add-on (it's the model that was released alongside the new retina versions). The processor is a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7. I run OS X 10.8.4.
I'd like to know if the following behavior is normal: when the computer is sleeping with the lid closed, and the MagSafe adaptor is either attached or detached, removing it or attaching it (with the lid still closed) will make the computer wake up from sleep. You can easily hear the fans starting when it does so. It'll stay on for 30 seconds to a minute, and then go back to sleep again. The screen doesn't seem to turn on when this happens and the lid is closed. Opening the lid when the computer exhibits this behavior results in a black (and useless) screen. In order to be able to use the pc you need to wait until it goes back to sleep on its own and then turn it back on.
Another (possibly related) issue appears when the PC turns off automatically (either while running or during sleep) because the battery is exhausted. When this happens, I usually attach the adapter (with the lid open, most of the times) and then press on the power button. A black-and-white screen with a loading bar appears for a few seconds, and then the full-color login screen appears (my pc is set to ask for the password every time it wakes from sleep). After the loading bar is gone and the full-color screen is back, I am unable to input my password, even though the password field looks focused. Neither the keyboard nor the mouse are responsive. This often happens in such a way that it is impossible for me to input my password (or interact with my pc) before it goes back to sleep for lack of interaction. Recently I've discovered that randomly pressing the power button and some keys on the keyboard (I still don't know what exactly triggers this) will make it able to receive input and thus I'll be able to type in my password and log in.
I'd like to know if any of you have encountered the two behaviors I've described and if you think they're normal or have any solutions for them.

Hello terabytest,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro exhibiting the behavior you described. For a message like this, I recommend resetting your System Management Controller (SMC) and NVRAM.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the full article here:Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
