MacBook Pro won't charge no green light

Hi, my MacBook Pro suddenly just stopped charging. A few hours ago it was working fine. I leave it plugged in while I play games because it drains my battery so quick and then I noticed it wasn't charging. The green light is not on and I've tried switching outlets and still nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I bring it to the apple store? The laptop is about 1.5 years old.

Go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you are running 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion), then select Power from the left hand column of the System Profiler. Copy and paste the Battery Information from the top of the page back here.

My macbook pro won't charge due to an electric shock

My macbook pro won't charge due to an electric shock that was caused from a charger that was in a bad condition, the computer didn't turn off when it happened but it stopped charging. When the battery died it refused to charge with any charger, I even bought 2 new ones. I sent it to apple and they are asking $650 for fixing it! The problem is that the macbook is only a year and a half old and I live abroad where there is no apple branches or any of that. I had to send it to the USA first. Also, I might lose everything saved on the macbook after fixing it! Any solutions? please help!

My Macbook Pro won't charge when it's on, only charges VERY slowly when it is shutdown

My Macbook Pro won't charge when it's on. It only charges VERY slowly when it is shutdown. Recently when it was charging shutdown, I could not get it to turn on. The only way it turned on was by removing the charger from the Macbook Pro. This only happene one time but still wondering what is going on with this battery.
Thanks for the help!

First see the MagSafe troubleshooting tips:Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters and check to see that all looks ok. You might want to try using another charger in case the charger is faulty. If that doesn't help, take the MacBook Pro and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test the system to see where the fault is.

Macbook Pro Mid 2014 Retina Flashing green light on charger when fully charged (macbook turned off or lid closed)

Hi there,
Just got a Macbook Pro Retina Mid 2014. I have noticed that when the Macbook is turned off or the lid is closed the green light on the charger is blinking. It seems it does this when the Macbook Pro is fully charged and I am not sure if it is a fault with the charger or if it just does this when its fully charged? When the laptop is open and plugged in it doesn't do this.

You tried the SMC Rest right?

My MacBook Pro won't charge when I plug it in. the green or orange light won't even turn on. The computer is dead already, so I cannot mess with my settings. What do you suggest?

I have a Mac Book Pro with the serial number: C0*******TY3 and the model no: A1278. I wanted to charge it this morning, and it won't charge meaning that the light even won't turn on, and also my computer is dead, so I cannot change anything on the system preferences. What should I do? I will make an appointment at the Genius Bar, but what do you thing the problem is here?

My MacBook pro won't charge and I have a flashing green light?

I have not used my MacBook for a couple of days n today realised it needed charging when I come to use it so I plugged it in. I get a green flashing light but it won't charge, what seems to be the problem? I have only had it since April so can't see it being the mac is it the charger itself? Please help!

Do a SMC and a PRAM reset, if that doesn't resolve the issues, look at the MagSafe links.

Macbook air 11" late 2010 won't charge battery, green light on

Had charging issues so bought correct wattage apple magsafe adapter. With new magsafe, laptop works fine, green light on, but not charging battery. It has 335 cycles and shows 5.944 volts. So, I bought a new battery off ebay (A1375). Installed new battery, and now it will only work on battery power and magsafe shows not connected, no green light as if its fried. I have 3 magsafes so its not this.
I did all the nvram, SMC, and battery out/power button SMC bypass resets to no avail. After a time, the battery died to 0%, and now the magsafe turned green again and works fine on AC power again! This is really strange. It acts as tho it can only run on DC or AC power but not both and never charges. I even put in the old battery, updated to the ~31 Jan 13 firmware and tried all the resets again. Nothing. So now it works just fine on AC power, green light on, 0% on the new battery not charging.
Lastly, I took it into apple and they wouldn't fix it for cheaper than 700 which more than totals the value of the laptop.
Any pro's out there have an idea? I don't want to toss a perfectly good laptop that has 100% pixels and runs perfectly in every other way.

RRFS thank you for the reply. Am I throwing good money at bad by trying to fix it? I have found some logic boards on ebay for mid 200's i'm considering. Or should I cut my losses and part it out? I fortunately got my data off it on one of the last successful startups.

Brand New Macbook Pro Won't charge

I recently joined the Mac world, and purchased my first Mac, a Macbook Pro. I have had it less than 3 weeks and the battery won't charge. I have called the support line, several times and they had me take the battery out put it back in press 4 keys and restart worked a couple of times, but I had to do everytime I shut my computer down, not fun at all. Finally they sent me a new battery and that one doesn't charge either. I'm kind of frustrated with the entire process, I was thrilled to be advancing in the technology world but now am very disappointed with the service to help get this issues resolved. So now I have a product I can't use, brand spanking new laptop collecting dust, and the only solution they have for me is to drive 100 miles to an apple certified dealer to have them look at it, only open Mon - Fri. So know I have to take off work, drive way out my way to have someone look at my computer. But the catch is they might charge me even though I purchased the extended 3 year apple warranty. So know I'm back to using my PC. My thrill is gone. All I want is to use my laptop, and experience the Mac way, does anyone have any solutions. So far my experience with mac support is not too thrilling what's the purpose of purchasing the warranty and I recieve no help on their end. HELP?

that doesn't make any sense.... you have a 3 year warranty... they can't charge you... thats the point of the warranty!!
you don't have to drive out to drop your laptop off.... call apple care and they will send you a box in the mail so then you can put your laptop in it and send it back to them so they can repair what they need to repair.... you said that you can't use it anyways so i guess it wouldn't matter that you would be out a laptop for a few weeks....
I wouldn't let them say they cannot do anything for you, thats just ridiculous, you paid good money for your computer as well as a warranty... be persistent.

My MacBook Pro won't charge.

I have a macbook pro and so does my sister, so when my charger wouldn't work, I tried hers. Her charger didn't work either. Next, I tried my mom'a MacBook air's charger and it worked! Why is this? When I replace my charger should I get the same kind as my mom or the one that goes with a pro? When I would plug my sister's charger and my charger into my laptop, 1 out of 10 times it would turn green then orange and stop charging. The the other 9 times, it wouldn't charge at all. Has anyone else experienced this problem? How do I fix it? Is it my computer or the charger?

Hello Iamthe_walrus,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Before determining whether you need to get a new charger, please reset your SMC by following the steps in the article below.

Macbook Pro won't boot up, dim light. Apple still repairing for free?

My Macbook Pro (Intel, 4GB Ram, 500GB Hard Drive) died last night. We turned it off, shut the lid, and next time we came to power-up there was no chime and a blank screen. The power light on the front stays dim (goes brighter if the lid is shut), and no combination of starting it with/without the battery, holding on to the power button, or depressing Ctrl, Option Apple will work.
From reading around this sounds like the faulty NIVDIA card issue whick Apple keeps extending people's warranties to replace. But what are users' experiences of getting this repair done for free? It looks about 50/50 on other communities.
Also, some users have found that taking and re-installing the RAM seems to work. Should I explore this route before taking it to the Geniuses?

This is a user forum so the best anyone here can offer is to take it to an Apple store or AASP.

My wall charger for my macbook pro won't charge, if a get a new one do i have to pay or it has insurance?

My MacBook Pro charger is not charging, i think i pull the charger to hard and broke. Does the charger have insurance or do i have to buy a new one. I've been having my Mac since March 2011.

If you don't have AppleCare, then your warranty has expired and you'll just have to buy a new MagSafe power adapter.

Droid X won't charge, has green light staying on.

My Droid X just started today not charging and the green light stays on when it is plugged into the wall, PS3 or laptop. How can I get it to charge and stay on?

Macbook Pro won't start up, white light turns on, then goes out.

My Macbook Pro froze, so I hit the power button, and now it will not turn on.
When I press the power button the white light on the front comes on, and then goes out after about 6 seconds along with that noise it normally makes when turning off. Also if I cover both speakers the light fades.
This used to happen to me pretty regularly, and in the past it seems just a matter of giving it 24hrs and then trying to turn it on and it usually fixes itself by then. But I've started taking on freelance clients so I can't deal with this crap anymore and would like to know why this is happening. I've taken it to Genius's before but by the time I get there it is turning on again, and they have no answers for me.

You could try reseting the PRAM/NVRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379, see section titled "Resetting PRAM and NVRAM") or reseting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964).

I have tried several chargers and none seem to work.

if the battery can be removed from your mac do the following to perform the SMC reset:
remove the battery from the macbook
remove the power cord from it
hold down the power button on the mac for 5 seconds
put the battery back in and plug back in and see if it will start up, if not you need to get a new battery for the macbook
