MacBook Pro Retina 15 battery issue

Hello,
I'm having issue with my battery on MacBook Pro Retina 15 Mid 2012. System says Replace now but I have only 753 Cycle Counts.
Run Hardware test and got the following error code: 4bat/1/40000000: 0x80c53f90
Tried PRAM and SMC reset but nothing helps.
It there any chance to fix this without replacing the battery?
Regards.

Not a chance: this is a goner. And don't take that "Replace now" message too lightly: a failing (swelling) battery can cause serious damage to your MBP.

  • Late 2013 13" Macbook Pro Retina Battery Issues

    Just got my new MacBook Pro 2 days ago and been using it for web surfing (Safari), few coding projects, skyping and listening to music mainly. Somehow the battery lasts for about 6 hours at it's best and not only that but the battery estimate is not correct at all. I charged it to 84% and it said 12 hours left then at 70% after exactly 54 minutes of battery usage it said 5 hours and 50 minutes left.
    The time estimate drops fast and doesn't last that long ... I've seen similar discussions but there problems were because of Chrome or the kernel_task using the memory & CPU extensivley. But in my case, I'm not using Chrome and the kernel_task is taking around 500 - 600 of memory and fair usage of the CPU ..

    Hi. I have a same problem with my new MBP 13 RETINA (late2013)
    Battery life is BAD! I'm using it without Skype for 2 days, but still, just a web browsing can't kill charge so fast.
    How bad is bad? How long is your battery lasting?
    What does your Activity Monitor show under the Energy & CPU tabs? There does seem to be an intermittant issue in Mavericks where after coming out of sleep, the kernel_task process will start using ~100% of a CPU forever. This will drain the battery really quickly, and seems to require a reboot to fix. I run iStat menus, and it's pretty obvious in the CPU graph menu when this happens, as the graph shows a constant 25% overall CPU utilization.
    When you say you are just web browsing, what are you doing? What browser, and what kind of websites?
    A lot of folks on the MacRumors forums are reporting really bad battery life if they use Opera. Try Safari instead.
    If you are watching Flash based videos or otherwise visiting Flash heavy websites, that will hurt battery as well. If you can import the videos you want to watch into iTunes they should use much less battery. If you are using Safari and the Flash stuff on the websites is ads or other stuff you don't need to see, install Click 2 Flash to stop it from automatically loading.
    Finally, try to keep your screen brightness as low as is comfortable. Half brightness or lower can help.
    I get a consistant 10+ hours of battery life using my Late 2013 system all day for browsing with Safari, editing photos with iPhoto & Preview, and creating documents with Pages. I have BlueTooth disabled, and brightness at 1/2 or less.
    You can get the statistics on your battery to see if something seems wrong by installing and running the Coconut Battery utility. I'm willing to bet your issue is software and usage related though.

  • Macbook pro retina battery won't charge fully

    Hello,
    Im not sure why but my 1 year old macbook pro retina 15inch won't fully charge. It gets to a charge between 75% and 88% and it will at that point stop charging.
    I have attached an image below that shows how the battery has stopped charging. I have taken very good care of this laptop and am very surprised to see such an issue.
    Thanks,
    FF

  • Macbook Pro Retina heat issues?

    For any of you that have the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display, are you guys feeling excessive heat along the keyboard and on the aluminum directly under the screen? Just wondering, because I am. Let me know. Thanks!

    I am a big "Macbook Pro runs too hot" proponent. So I went into my Apple store installed iStat on one of their new MacBook Pro Retina Display laptops and went for it. I ran HD flash video, I ran HTML5 video players. I went into iPhoto and held down the left arrow key and let the machine run through all the pictures as fast as it would load them.
    I kept checking with iStat and am truly amazed. I am not sure if it is Ivy Bridge, the vent holes on the bottom, the way graphics are handed off between the descreet and onboard GPU, but that computer never warmed up to "2011" MacBook Pro temperatures.
    I was doing some naughty things to that machine, and she performed like a champ.
    I did notice the heat vent under the screen hinge has been redesigned and now there is a bigger gap between the vent and the edge of the screen. Like I said also the vents around the underside of the perimeter of the case might also help out, especially since the vents are located right under where the segmented battery is located.
    As far as thermal issues. I am impressed.
    The new MacBook Pro 15" with retina display is a marvel of technology. and I look forward to see what the second generation of this product looks like.

  • Macbook Pro Retina battery not charging

    Hello, when I loaded up my Macbook pro Retina today (4 months old) I noticed the battery wasn't charging and the power logo says power source: adaptor, I have tried SMC reset but that hasn't fixed the problem, need some advice as to what to do now?
    Thanks
    Ben

    What % is the battery at?  If it's at 95% and above, it won't charge.  It must get lower to charge.  If it was lower than that and it won't charge no matter what, you'll need to contact AppleCare because you can't service that laptop yourself for this issue if it is a bad battery.

  • My Macbook pro retina battery is not working

    Hello everybody,
    I kinda need help, maybe somebody here can give me an advice. I kinda destroyed my Macbook pro retina with coffé My father spilled the coffé on the table and the coffé went exactly inside the laptop. It didnt work but after complete and careful cleaning it works. (except the battery) Battery is not working at all, but interesting is, that I still can see the percentage of charge of the batery.
    In the authorised czech service they told me that they need to replace the whole battery (with the skelet of the laptop) so it is very expensive. But I believe that there is maybe some other way? Anybody can help me?
    Thank you very much
    Jakub

    I forgot... The percentage of the charge of the battery is moving now it is 9% but before it was more... 10%,11% etc...

  • Late 2013 macbook pro retina battery question

    I just bought the new macbook pro retina 2013 (first macbook!) I wanted to know what I can do to extend the life of the battery. Right know, I start charging the battery once it gets to about 60%. I keep the charger plugged in when im at home and left the battery discharge at uni. Would doing this having any advatange or disadvantage for the battery?
    Also once the battery reaches 100%, would it overcharge if it is kept plugged in? or would it just start to use the power from the adapter instead of the battery
    Anyother tips?
    Thanks

  • Macbook Pro Retina Trackpad Issue

    Has anyone had any issues with the Macbook Pro Retina Trackpad going to sleep. Whenever I start or restart my Macbook up and try to click on my User name to log in, the trackpad doesn't work. I have to navigate with the keypad and hit return. This also happens sometimes when I am using it as well, and I have use 2 fingers to press the Apple logo and then put the computer to sleep and wake it up again to get the trackpad to work. Any ideas what is causing this? I did initially think it was a program I installed called NoSleep, but I have since uninstalled this and still the same problems, although I have installed a similar program called Lid Sleep, but don't think this would cause a problem.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You have some type of hardware fault, IMHO. Best to take it to Apple hand have it checked out.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Fan Issues

    Hi,
    I bought a macBook Pro Retina just under a month ago, and have been experiencing some issues with the fan speeds.
    I can be just browsing the web or checking emails or playing music through iTunes, and the fans will spin up to full speed for a minute or so, and then return to normal.
    I have reset the SMC, the PRAM and repaired the Disk and Disk Permissions, with no luck, I've also tried a full format and reinstall with no luck either.
    I have seen that others have been experiencing similar issues, and wanted to get some advice on where I can go from here.
    Attached below is a Screen Grab of my temps and fan speeds. The fans were at normal speed for a few minutes, then went up to a high speed, back down and then back up again, and kept repeating.
    Thanks in advance,
    James.

    Hi all,
    I got a call from apple yesterday to say that the screws for my machine were in, and that they had got a response from engineering about the fans, they said that the fan speeds were normal and there was nothing to worry about.
    I don't think that this is the case, as I have never owned any other computer that has done this under normal operation.
    It also worries me that while some of you have got their machines replaced, others have been told there is nothing to worry about.
    When you pay upwards of £1800 you dont expect to be finding these problems, and if you do, a replacement should be provided without question.
    If anyone else has a different outcome after taking their machine in to the apple store, let us all know on this thread.
    Thanks,
    James.

  • How to protect Macbook pro retina battery?

    Hello guys,
    I would like if someone could help me and give me tips for protecting the battery life for macbook pro retina, as I work for long hours on my macbook for about 8 hours so i keep it plugged on and from what I heared that it affects the macbook battery life. What is the good things to do in order to keep the battery live longer.

    Keep it plugged in whenever possible.
    If you keep it plugged in all the time, make sure that at least twice a month run it on
    battery until the battery charge level drops to about 50 to 40%.
    Do not let the battery charge run down to 0%.
    That will affect battery health negatively.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Sound Issues

    Hi folks,
    I used my MacBook Pro Retina with no difficulties over the last 2 month,
    but recently I have experienced some sound problems.
    Often, when I just want to play a video on YouTube or listen to some
    music, the sound stops for a blink of an eye or is crackling throughout the
    song or video.
    It sounds a bit like the soundcard is having difficulties to play back the
    sound, but I don't think a normal iTunes Song is causing this.
    I furthermore imagine, that some driver is not running properly or
    the threads for audio output are disturbing each other.
    But I have absolutely no clue, what the cause is.
    Maybe someone else experienced the same.
    I would be grateful for any help.
    Ps: I have the MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012 (2,6 GHZ; 16 GB RAM; 512 GB SSD) Version,
    if this is any hint.

    Im terrifyed right now. I just got home, sat down and plugged my headphones into my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro Retina to start producing some music. As fast as I adjusted the volume on the MB a loud noise was heard in the right ear. I played a song in iTunes to discover that the sound was slightly distorted and very noisy in the right ear while you could hear the music normally in the left ear. I switched between an additional pair of headphones and a pair of speakers but got the same result. I checked the preferences and rebooted the MB without any luck.
    I have two theories why Im having this problem. Earlier today I plugged my computer into a soundcard via 1/8 RCA-cables, allowing me to play music through my schools monitors. The soundcard had Phantom Power enabled but I disabled it quickly when I realized. The cable I used was also a bit dodgy, it was noisy and didnt work properly. Could this malfunctioning cable or the fact that I Phantom-powered my MB have fried my AUDIO JACK?! I contacted my teacher but he said that this cant be the reason for my issue.
    My other theory, and this is the one I beg to be the reason behind the problem, is that a software update caused the issue. A couple of hours ago I updated my MBs software. I dont remember what kind of update it was though, probably quite a few since I havent done it for a while. I read on some forums that people have had problems with the retina MB and the sound after certain updates. Could this be the reason?
    Im frustrated, frightened and very eager to make some techno. Any help or tips would be eternally appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!!

  • Is it true that the new MacBook Pro retinas got issues with latency?

    I'm thinking of ordering the late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15 inch, with 2.6 Ghz, 16GB RAM , 512SSD
    I'm gonna use it mainly for live keys sounds using mainstage, logic, omnisphere, ableton etc. After reading a forum, I found that the new macs are pretty bad with latency, is this gonna be a big problem...suggestions?

    We don't know. Anything you see on a rumor site like Apple Insider is just that - rumor. No one knows when new models will be released until Apple makes a public announcement. If you wish to base your decisions on the rumor mill then do so, but we cannot tell you whether they are valid or not.

  • Macbook pro retina battery problems

    so basically my macbook pro is only lasting 2 hours on battery, its supposed to last up to 7.  I only light work that dosent work the macbooks battery too hard, i use low brightness, and i dont have crazy stuff installed i keep it clean. I called apple and they told me that 2 hours is not normal, that i should be getting 7 hours max wit what i do, especially the retina macbook pro since it has an avanced battery and hardware.
    they remotely accessed my macbook and said that the battery issue and heat issue is software related, and they said my macbook software issues was virus related. they told me that i would need to pay them the support package so they can run their software remotely to my mac to fix the virus related issue.
    so my question is, is this really possible, for battery and heat issues to be affected by software and virus, or is it just an excuse so they can get my money.
    even if it is true, cant i just fix it by reinstalling a new copy of osx to my macbook pro and the virus will be deleted. or isnt there a software that can delete this specific virus for me? what options can i take?

    You're missing my point. I know that watching movies is more intensive than web browsing and maybe the problem is to do with VLC.
    When I watch a movie through quick time I still have an estimated 6h26m remaining with 65% battery left. In comparison when I watch a movie on VLC it showed around 3h left with the same amount of battery left.
    Also, I'm not sure if this is to do with VLC or if it was a coincidence, but my CPU was at around 30% (system) and the temperature doubled.

    Your still within your 14 day no question asked return period. 
    IMO, I'd return it for a refund and BTO the 15.4" MB Pro without retina.
    1.  High Resoulution Antiglare WS (1680X1050)
    2.  Upgraded 7200 RPM drive (upgrade to SSD later)
    I've read lots of post (here) about issues with the 1st Gen rMBP.
    I've also read lots of positive articles in favor of the rMBP.
