My Battery does not charge any more.

Hi,
I have seen this issue in a few other threads but mty situation is a little different.. My Magsafe Adapter stopped working.. i checked the brick part and it was buurning hot like on fire almost.. really bad smell coming from the brick.
My MacBook Pro is no longer under the 1 year warranty as of a month ago..
So I read a few threads that suggested replacing the adapter. So I bought a new adapter.. I plugged it in.. And now my batteries won't charge.. I have two batteries and neither of them will charge to even 1%..
Does this mean the part on my MBP where the adapter plugs in is broken and needs to be replaced or something? I tried bringing my laptop to a store where they sell macs and their adapter did the same thing.. a faint green light.. but no charging the battery.
I'm afraid that the power plug on the MBP might be attached to the logic board and buying a new one of those is pretty expensive.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you
Kai

Thanks for confirming my suspicions guys! I suppose it's not so bad..
After all.. I DID get this computer as a gift for attending a conference last year.. Now I'll have to buy a new one.. I think I'm going to open her up and take a look.. The local store says sometimes you can fix the problem by looking at the logic board.. I'm hoping it's not ALL soldered. Even so.. I fixed a part on a G5 mobo a few months ago and saved a buddy of mine about $3000.
I wish Apple had better repair options.. and MORE modular components rather than everything soldered to the logic board.
Thank you again,
Kai

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

Hello,
Thankf for your answer.
By the way I sae a post who propose to do
"option+command+P+R"
WHat is the difference
That is a PRAM Reset: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Instead of me trying to explain the difference, let me just say that it's ok to try both of them.
Yes, on my power cable adapter, the light is green.
That's interesting. It should only be green if the batt is fully charged. Have you done the SMC reset?
My problem is that I absolutely need to engrave a iDVD and it take about 1 hour. I can do this before.
But I happy to read that I can solve my issue as you state. . That's right?
Sorry, but I'm not understanding . . . .

Battery does not charge,why ?

the battery does not charge any longer...why ?

Your battery may be completely dead — but even a dead battery will usually accept a tiny charge, even if it only powers the computer for a minute or two afterward.
Your AC adapter may have failed. If you have access to another adapter, test with that and see whether it charges the battery. If it does, try all the steps in this article to see whether your own adapter will revive:

The charging system inside your MBP may have failed. If you have no luck with the above, take your machine to an Apple Store Genius Bar for testing:

Battery does not charge after rescue & recovery

Hi,
Yesterday I set up my computer fresh from the preload on the harddrive due to slowness, instabilities, inability to use VPN etc. After the reinstallation of OS and securiy updates, my battery does not charge anymore. The battery indicator on the front panel keeps blinking, and the Lenovo message center reports that irrepairable damage has been done to the battery and that it must be replaced.
My battery is not among the recalls by Lenovo.
Any idea if there's any option but buying a new battery? It just does not seem right that the battery is unusable after new OS setup.
Cheers, Thorbjorn

Ipod shuffle does not repond any more

The ipod has worked for four months, though i havent used so frequently. And to day it does not respond any more or can not be found when inserted in may mac (OSX) or my pc (XP), they have both "high-power USB" and "high-speed USB", have also tried in a number of other pcs an macs with the same result. The Mac and the PC cant even find the ipod as an USB memmory/removable memmory, incredible!!!. Since it is not responding i cant make any "restore", and the restor seems to be the final solution to fix whatever problem got the ipod to get lame. The version on itunes is 6.

you're not the only one........i'm having the same problem
Here's my scenario,
i got my ipod shuffle from an electronics store in the states during the week of 4th of July 2005; however, i'm from Toronto, Canada.........Canadian citizen. I tested out my ipod shuffle @ my cousins computer before i left, which worked. Took it to Toronto (my hometown).......and I was enjoying it. Almost a month of using it, the battery was almost getting low and it needs to be charged. I got my new computer (Windows XP pro) between August 18-24. I wanted to add more songs plus charge the shuffle on the computer. I followed the instructions just like @ my cousins house and u know what........my new computer did not recognize the shuffle at all. itunes was available, however. I tried it again another day...putting the shuffle on another USB, still not recognizing.......i noticed there was an orange light blinking and i took it off the computer. I thought it was broken....songs were still there. Few hours later.....it's not functioning anymore!!!!!!! I tried everything: updating, restoring.....on/off still ain't working. I tried to chat with an Apple representive....no luck.
What should i do? Should i go to the Apple store and ask them what's wrong with my ipod.
There's only 1 Apple store in Canada......and its in Toronto,Ontario. Its far from my house.....located near the west-end.
Plz give me advise ASAP...............!

Green light does not flash any more

Hello guys can you please help me my green light does not flash any more and my blackberry has been slower than the word slow since ever the light is not flashing

Does the shuffle still play?
When it is connected to USB and the light is blinking orange, that mean DO NOT DISCONNECT - Eject shuffle in iTunes before physically disconnecting. If you do that (click the eject button in iTunes), but leave the shuffle connected to USB, the shuffle's light should become solid (not blinking). Solid orange light means shuffle is charging. If it's red, the shuffle may have a problem with charging. Does the SOLID light eventually become GREEN (battery fully charged)?

MBA battery does not charge when connected. Help!

My MBA battery does not charge when connected to the charger. Ive checked the other threads and followed advice but nothing seems to help.. My battery health info is good, I've tried cleaning the magnetic pins of the charger, reset smc but it still does not charge. The light on the charger is green or does not come on sometimes, and it's the same for a few Power outlets. What else can I do? Would greatly appreciate any help! Thanks.

It recognizes the charger intermittently. After cleaning, it showed the charger as connected but not charging the battery. I will try my friends charger later to see if it works. Thanks for your help!

Battery Icon Shows "18% available (plugged in, charging)" But Battery Does Not Charge

The PC does operate on the battery only, just fine (so far, as there is only 18% remaining).
The PC operates with AC plugged in also.
LED by AC input is amber (looks orange to me).
According to the User Guide that indicates charging.
Battery Check status is "OK"
I have had it on charge for over 12 hours and still at 18%.
When starting up, the battery icon shows charging movement then stops at a low level.
I measured the charger output at 20VDC (no load). Which is as specified.
I have tried all the suggestions about uninstalling and reinstalling the ACPI Complient Control Method.......etc.
Removing battery, shutting down and all the rest of suggestions.
No help.
I was told there was a BIOS update which I installed. (I'll post about that in another board). No help.
If I ever get this fixed it's going back to the vendor, Should not have this happen with less than 3 months since new.
Just got it back from repair for battery latch falling off. (Back plate was changed.)
Anything new would be appreciated.

Hi @xdellman,
Thank you for your query and realize how frustrating this is.
I gathered from your post you have tried most of the troubleshooting steps to no avail.
If you check the adapter do you notice any damaged or bent pins as this can cause charging issues?

Is there a settings in Win7/HP feature that the battery does not charge until it is under 95%

I just purchased a HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl laptop and have noticed that the battery does not charge unless it is below 95%. I am very concercerned because I had a different laptop from a different manufacturer where I had battery issues. That manufacturer was not helpful and I will never buy from them again.
I have heard good things about HP which is why I decided to buy this particular machine. However, I have only had this machine for 3 days and now this is starting. I cannot find a Win 7 (I am running Win 7 home premuim 64 bit) setting that controls when the battery starts to charge. Is this a function of the HP Power Manager? Is this a feature of the battery HP ships with their laptops? Or is this indicating a problem with this machine? I am a college student and I need a reliable laptop for school.
Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
HanNan

IPad not charging any more...?

The last two days i notices my iPad not charging any more. Eventhough when pluging it into the A/C outlet it would show on the small top right icon, that it's charging, but the battery status renmained at 10% or so... now the battery seems totally drained and i can even restart it.
I also tried using my iPhone A/C adaptor as well as directly charging it from my notebook USB... nothing...death...
Any one knows what to do?
thx guyy.

Turn your iPad all the way off. Then plug it into the A/C outlet with the adaptor that came with your iPad. Since your battery level is so low, it may take a while for it to have enough juice to power on. Your notebook USB and iPhone charger probably don't have enough power to charge the iPad. Don't use them in the future for charging.

Does any one know how i can fix this.

Hi
Please dont use any batteries which are not 100% compatible with your notebook!
This can damage motherboard and other 3rd notebook parts.
As far as I know the A100 is a one of the newest Toshiba series and the warranty should be valid.
For me it sounds a little bit like a motherboards power supply electronic fault.
Who knows ?:| The notebook check is necessary to locate the malfunction.
So dont waste the time and contact immediately the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
They technicians should check the notebook and should provide a help.
Good luck

My battery does not charge, the battery is okay but no charging functionality

i have a g60 laptop, I think it is US120 model, It should be registered to me. When the AC charger is on it does not detect it and the battery does not charge. The battery got lower and lower and now it will not start. It also will not run without the batter in it and without charge in the battery. Any ideas_?

It sounds like your adaptor may have died. Here is a link that you can find information for troubleshooting your adaptor.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.
