Macbook pro is charging after water damage
So after I let everything dry out, my mac has been charging. Yet, the power button won't work. Good sign?
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).

MacBook Pro not charging after OSX Lion 10.7.2 upgrade
After making the upgrade to OSx Lion 10.7.2 my MacBook Pro 2011 (2 months old) does not charge anymore, before worked perfectly.
Magsafe led was off, and battery indicator said power source is not connected. After the battery drained to empty, the magsafe turned on, but goes green to orange to off in cycles. During the cycles, the battery indicator was cycling also from calculating, not charging, etc. and the display was dimming like if I was plugin in and plugin off the magsafe connector. After having the computer connected during all night, now is charged but magsafe does not charge anymore.
I tried the SMC reset and chacked that firmware is up to date. Any clues of what is going on?Thanks a lot for replying, but what exactly does the istat widget program do?
Also, the fan noise seems like a normal noise every time I launch a program, but it's getting to the point where I am frustrated(annoyed) of the fan noise. I would've thought that upgrading to a Mac book would cause less fan noise because of it's high processor. Sometimes I feel like I should go back to a Dell or HP because of this problem, but at the same time, I love my laptop. ;) -
MacBook Pro not charging after Mavericks update
Is anyone experiencing an issue with not being able to charge their Macbook after updating Mavericks? I'm unable to charge my 2011 MacBook Pro that has Mavericks installed. This issue appeared only after running the latest update from Apple for Mavericks. I tried running the SMC reset but it still won't charge.
I had the same issue, when i updated to mavericks my charger stop charging sometimes the light would go orange sometimes green most of the time would be off but charging, i returned to mountain lion as the moment of the reinstallation was complete the charger started working and light was on and now is working perfectly no problem. I guess i will stick with mountain lion for now. I hope this helps.

"not charging" after water damage
My macbook air was water damaged 2 weeks ago and now it functions well except the battery. It shows "not charging". It is still under warranty now. Does Apple charge to get is checked to see whether battery is the only problem? And how long will that take?
make Appt. with Apple for diagnostic / repair.
There is no cost for evaluation, but accidents / spills are not warranty coverage.
Your Mac is not "functioning well" at all if you cant charge it. By trying to charge it you likely caused more damage.
Dont risk more damage and try to use or charge your macbook, make call for service. -
Iphone 4s not charging after water damage and subsequent new battery
My phone got wet in my pocket during a rainstorm last week. After drying it out it appeared fine except that the battery won't charge. It does however appear that its charging, It makes the noise when connected to the charger and the battery icon has the charging symbol next to it. I've changed the battery and the problem persists. Do you think the charging circuits have been damaged? What should my next step be?

Unfortunately, your next step is to find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple will not touch that one now that you opened it.
Apple does not sell iPhone parts including batteries. The only possible sources are stolen parts, salvaged parts, or counterfeit parts.
You are no longer eligible for the $199 out of warranty replacement.
Missed the part where he changed the battery. -
Hi everyone-
So this Sunday afternoon I went to download some TV shows on my MacBook Air - having recently spilt some water across my Mac. Have left it for a couple of weeks, and seems the only issue is that the MacBook Air now no longer recognises the batteries so has to be run from AC power.
Everything else on the Mac works fine - though, when I went to play these TV shows I downloaded (720p), it brings up the HDCP error saying that:
"The selected movie won't play on your display.
This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."
I've googled and searched everywhere but can find no workaround- nor any troubleshooting to help me out with this.
Can anybody advise, beyond stating the obvious that the water has obviously messed something up.
Thanks!Sorry for taking so long, I had to go Christmas shopping with the family. Anyway, I tried that, and no gas there, either. I've done a memtest and changed the hibernatemode to 0 using pmset since this post. So... yeah. I'm hitting a wall and am willing to bet it's the SSD going out the door.

Iphone 5 will not charge after water damage. Tried various solutions.
Hi all,
A few weeks ago i put my iphone 5 in the washing machine for about 30 seconds. I got it out ASAP but it was still noticably wet. I quickly padded it down and put it in a bag of rice for several days (luckily it was already out of battery when it went in).
After i had left it to dry out i plugged it in only to find the lightining cabel symbol comes up and it will not charge. So what i have done so far;
Changed battery- new battery still will not charge. However, when i did put a new battery in that held some charge the phone did turn on and everything was working fine.
Tried new lightning cable
Changed dock connector- still would not charge
Removed battery and cleaned entire phone with 99% isopropyl, dried and phone still would not charge.
I'm pretty lost here??? If everything was working fine when i put the new battery in apart from being able to charge i asssumed it must be the dock connector but apparently not.
I have heard it might be something to do with the USB/Power IC on the motherboard?? But im not sure if these can be replaced. I would just like to try everything myself before taking to apple as i know they will charge me a small fortune for out of warrenty repair.yiddonick wrote:
So your telling me as soon as i open the phone the out of warrenty service is void as well (even if i were to put the old battery back in)?
Yes.
Is their an indicator to show the phone has been opened?
Yes. There are tamper indicators inside the phone.
People should have the right to change their battery or open their phone if they want instead of being forced to make a genius bar appointment for any type of service (apple stores are few and far between where i live).
You do have that right. But if you choose to exercise it, you forfeit your right to an out of warranty replacement.
Note: I took it to a repair shop re dock connector change. They changed it and it wouldnt work so they replaced old one and said apple wouldnt have a problem fixing it on the out of warrenty repair service.
They lied to you.
If the service is void i certainly will not be buying another iphone. I guess this is how apple make their money.
Go ahead. Try the same thing with another vendor... let us know how that works for you. -
MacBook Unibody A1342 no power after water damage to logic board
MacBook Unibody A1342 no power after water damage to logic board
Ive sustained damage to my logic board after water damage. Can anyone tell me if it can be repaired or what the parts which have fallen off do(looks like 2 tiny capacitors?) . Magsafe has green light and battery charges but machine shows no other life signs. any help would be most appreciated thanks@CoccoBorg:
I need your help, please. I spilled wine on my mid 2009 unibody macbook pro, now when I power up I see Hard drive light On, I hear fan noise, but don't hear any startup Apple chime and nothing on display, I cleaned the logic board with 91% alcohol, but that didn't change anything. Before cleaning the logicboard, their were no signs of wine on the logicboard, but there was a lot of wine on the keyboard black sheet.
My guess is:
1. The keyboard might be causing this behaiour, I wan't to bypass the keyboard, can you please confirm if these are the right power pads on logicboard?
http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/106612/Where+are+the+power+pads
2. You mentioned something about fuses, where will I find them on logic board?
3. Any othe suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks -

I have plugged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?
if the device I connected have caused this, shouldn't the macbook itself have some type of protection that should prevent this from happening.
because when I took it to an apple certified maintenance shop, the guy said that now it could only run while connected to the power. it won't run on batteries. and that I have to change the motherboard.
can I just replace the damaged part only, would apple consider this as a design issue and they could pay for it, or should I just buy a new motherboard for 800$.
Help.BB1B2,
The problem is in finding a tech shop that will/can do board level repairs on Macs. They are few. And I certainly wouldn't spend $800 on a new logic board - I would replace the computer if I had to pay that much!
You could call around to a few repair shops and see if they feel competent to isolate the problem and do a board level repair - but I'm afraid, in the end, that your search will be futile.
Sorry,

I have a 2014 15" Retina display Macbook Pro.
Moving on from my 13" 2012 Macbook Pro the charger on the 2014 model isn't as good and keeps flicking out, and not staying in place.
Unfortunately it flicked out on its own at the wrong point, when I was closing the screen. This resulted in the screen cracking!! Because this is a fault with the Macbook's charger that has cracked my screen, will apple cover it and replace my screen?
If not does anyone know how much screen replacements cost at apple?
I have applecare but screen damage does not cover it.
Thanks guys!There's no one from Apple here, so we can't advise you on what it would cost to replace the screen. You should just take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP (making an appointment first) and get and estimate for replacement.
I doubt that Apple will fix the screen gratis - they will likely pin it down to a user accident. If you can actually demonstrate that it's the fault of the adapter, you may get a break.
Good luck,
Clinton

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -

I had to replace the corrupted hard drive in my macbook pro recently, and after I did so I did a full factory software & application restore. I had to rebuild my iTunes Library by dragging my music folders in my iTunes Media into the iTunes Application and rebuild my playlists manually. After plugging my iPhone 5 into the computer USB, it immediately recognized my iPhone 5, showing: last backups, space left on my iPhone & all options available. I then checked the box to manually manage music etc. The problem I am now having is that when I actually try to drag music from my iTunes to my phone a prompt comes up saying that my iPhone is not an authorized device. What should I do? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!!
jrmetzger,
iOS runs on iPads and iPhones; OS X runs on Macs.
Given your situation, I’d highly recommended that you purchase a SATA-to-USB adapter, so that you can test both your old disk and your new disk externally, since it might be that the problem is due to a faulty internal SATA cable rather than due to faulty disks.
