Macbook Pro Overcharge just happened!

Hello,
Today, I noticed my charger had a problem on the cable, which was shabby in one part, and it wasn't charging unless I moved it around. So, I tried to put some ducktape in order to fix that problem.
After that, what happened is the charger worked again, but when I connected to my macbook it started sparkling and after 2 seconds i heard a "puufff". I quickly went to check my macbook which I left "suspended" and he was turned off. I tried to turn it on or click the button that shows battery state, no signs of life!
Happily, moments after, I pressed the button and it magically started booting up, UFFF!
My problem is, I cannot ignore what just happened, can there be any resulting damage from this unfair experience?
I want to know if everything is alright inside, he's working quite normal now, but still wonders me if I won't have problems in the future.
Thank you.

Take your Mac to an Apple Store to have have it checked out >  Apple - Find Locations
You should purchase a new adapter as well. Duct tape is not a long term fix.

  • My Macbook Pro has just had a new hard drive put in it but i still need to install snow leopard without a disk?

    My Macbook pro has just had a new 500gb hard drive in it and osx snow leopard had not been put on it because i never got a disk when i bought it. It still comes up with the grey screen with the flashing folder which i think would be normal because there is nothing on the hard drive. How do i install OSX Snow Leopard back on it the cheapest way possible?
    Thanks

    You might be in a bind. While is is normal for new Macs that shipped with Lion to omit a system installation DVD, yours was running Snow Leopard. Apple included a system installation CD or DVD for every computer that shipped with every computer through Snow Leopard. Lion was installed on every machine built starting about August 2011, ending the DVD era.
    Apparently your computer had been sitting in someone's inventory for a while, but that's no excuse for them to have removed the DVD from its box.
    Try booting Lion Internet Recovery. Read this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    I suspect Lion Recovery may not work since "your computer's eligibility for Lion will be verified with Apple" and you appear not to have purchased it.
    Please let me know what happens when you attempt to boot Lion Recovery.

  • My macbook pro is just over 3 years old now and off and on during this time the screen will just go all black.  Lately this blackout is lasting longer and I was wondering what is causing this.  I am afraid that this will not come back on in the future.

    My MacBook pro is just over 3 years old now and the screen has totally blacked out for a few seconds at a time.  It will come back on in a few seconds with the exception this past month it has stayed black for a longer period of time like one minute.  It scares me to think that one of these times it won't come back on.  I have noticed it happens more often when I am using just the battery power.  Does anyone have any idea what causes this?  just to mention my battery was not low when this happens.

    jmckl,
    if your MacBook Pro is a 15-inch Mid 2010 model (“MacBookPro6,2”), then it might be exhibiting the defect that is documented on this Apple Support page. If your black screen is due to this defect, then that page states that Apple will service this problem on this specific model of MacBook Pro gratis, for three years from the date of purchase. However, some commenters here have noted that sometimes the servicing is done gratis without having proof of the date of purchase. If you have an Apple Store near you, you might consider bringing your MacBook Pro there to have them check for the presence of this defect.
    It is only the 15-inch Mid 2010 model that has this problem; no other model suffers from it.

    If the purchases are all from the same account then you can share the content by authorizing each device.
    If you have separate accounts then you have to be authorized to use the content purchased from another account.

  • I have a new macbook pro and just made a video on imovie and it asked me to put it on idvd but there is no idvd listed as an option. How can I get idvd?

    I have a new macbook pro and just made a video on imovie and it asked me to put it on idvd but there is no idvd listed as an option. How can i get idvd. it doesn't seem available

    Since Apple has stopped supporting and offering iDVD you'll need to purchase the iLIfe 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 which will include iDVD 7.

  • HT1661 My mid-2009 MacBook Pro has just died via a painful (for me) hard drive failure. I backed up a good percentage of files recently but not enough to keep me happy.  I need to access the dead drive on the MBP via a 2008 iMac. Best options?

    My mid-2009 MacBook Pro has just died via a painful (for me) hard drive failure. I backed up a good percentage of files recently but not enough to keep me happy.  I need to access the dead drive on the MBP via a 2008 iMac. Best options?
    I have ordered a 800 firewire to 800 firewire cable and am hoping to use the target mode option to copy files from the MBP.
    Is this possible?
    Hope so!
    Any advice and or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Neil

    Thanks Ogelthorpe.
    Just bought an enclosure to try that also.
    Hoping the MBP isn't really dead but just feigning death
    Fingers crossed.

    I have an old MacBook Pro, which just upgraded to OS X 10.10.3...in the process iPhoto disappeared, along with all my photos! I'm shocked, and have no idea what to do (I'm the furthest thing from tech). Did the photos go into iCloud? I have a photos icon now in the place of iPhoto, but no photos! Any suggestions or help?

    Niel, thank you! Can't get iPhotos, but found my photos after clicking "photos" in the new app, after your suggestion. (option, click). Whew! I panicked, and appreciate your help. I'm going to miss my old iPhoto!

    When I have turned on my MacBook Pro it just sits there at the intial apple screen and doesnt proceed to the screen where you can sign on - any ideas

    when you restart the machine, make sure you uncheck the "reopen windows" check box, and see if that helps.

    Take it back to the Apple Store for repair since it's still in warranty.

  • Hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear

    hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear

    Try to edit the size of the page using the sides of the page, or if you are desperate, force quit using command-Q. In full screen put your cursor on the top of the page, and the menu bar will appear. If it doesn't keep "pushing" it up until it does. Hope this helps!

    It's not just Chrome. Something is seriously wrong with these new Macbooks. It's all over the web.
    My story:
    Tons of apps were crashing left and right: Evernote, Reminders, Pages, etc. What's worse, the computer had multiple kernel panics in the first week of purchase, none of which could be attributed to Chrome, Skype, or any of that nonsense. When I ran the Apple hardware test, everything came up fine. Took the computer to the Genius Bar, who recommended that I erase and reinstall. I did that, and I just experienced another crash today. I was in Pages, and the entire computer froze, although I could move my cursor.
    Put simply, I dropped almost four thosuand dollars on what should be the best computer on the planet, but is actually a piece of crap.
    I only wish I knew whether it was hardware or software, so that I could actually fix the problem.
    Either way, I severely doubt I will purchase another Apple computer.

    I have a late 2008 Macbook pro and just bought a new battery, but it is not holding a charge.  I read it may be the charger,
    that sometimes is blank, but it does charge my computer.
    Anything I can try?
    I have updated to 10.9.2

    Bring it back to the Apple store with your MBP and charger.  If the battery is found to be defective, they should provide you with a replacement (assuming you are in the warranty period).
    Ciao.
