How long was it off charge to drop from 5149 to 1054 mAh on the battery?
If not actually doing anything looks like a good reason to visit an Apple Retail store genius bar and have it checked.

Battery is not charging after once full discharge

hi,
I have Z60m 2530-A58 which is not charging it says: battery error has occured replace the battery , after once it was fully discharge to 0% but my notebook was only 1.5 year old what problem has occured can anyone suggest me pls......................
pls help i am using ubuntu 8.10 and windows xp both

Ok, I assume motherboard is aged or damaged somehow. Maybe it has been on plug for four or five years. It is late 2006's model.
First of all, I was be able to see it charging while it was connected to the MagSafe Power Adapter 85w then I close the lid and put it aside on the end table. I did not touch it for a few days. The white led was on in first few days then it become dim and fade out. I was puzzled and looked at the MagSafe Power Adapter connector on the MacBook Pro. It shows green led, which is still on power.
Secondly, I decided to open it and nothing happens then pressed the power button. It will boot up and open from the beginning. It did not hibernate or showing as resume after shutdown. I looked at the bottom of MacBook Pro's battery area. I press the small button to see how much battery left. It was on dead zero. This is why I called it drained out power.
Thirdly, I decided to check the Apple website to see what's wrong with it. Most of the forums said that SMC needs to be reseted since I could see the X mark on the battery icon. After I reseted the SMC, I could see the "Battery is not charging".
If I unplugged the connector, it will lose the power and shut down immediately without being shutdown properly.
Hmm?

Battery does not charge? 20 Hours till full? Only 4th Charge.

I bought a new battery for my 2006 Macbook and it ran out today so I went to charge it.
Says it is charging but nothing is happening. Status bar indicated 20 hours till full?
Also, when I press the button on the battery to check it's status it doesn't light up.
What could be wrong?
Note: I have been using the old batery in the exact same way for 5 years and it still works.

Nevermind. It eventually started charging again. I had to pop it out and then disconnect the power and put it back in again and re-connect. Leaving the computer off the whole time.

HT3964 SMC Reset and Battery still not charging

Few months ago my battery wont charge, I performed a SMC Reset and the battery gets to work fine again. Recently the battery is not charging again right after a long period of inactivity when the macbook air was not plugged or use it for months. Now is working only if it´s plugged to the electrical socket.
I have been reset the SMC on my macbook air but still my battery is not charging, it is 0% and when I disconnect the magsafe it will turn off. What else should I do?

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

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

My I Pad is not charging, it started after the battery went dead while i was playing a game, when i tried charging it all it does is flash the apple icon and it switches off again, help Pliiz

Not charging
1. Reset iPad
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

I am in China. When I plug in my powerblock i get a green light for 10-15 seconds then it turns orange. It seems to feed power but not charge the battery. i have a message that says the battery is not charging.

Of course it isn't — you've just drained it. Plug your AC adapter in and charge it up again.

Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks.

My Macbook Pro shut down because the battery power ran out. Now I cannot start it and the battery will not charge. Only one green battery charge light lights up and blinks on the left side. I am running Lion. How do I get this to charge and turn on? Thanks

If your model Macbook Pro is the calibrating model, let the battery calibrate.
If not, and are still under warrant or have Apple Care, give them a call and get a case number. Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.

Battery will not charge. and other issues

Well i'm working on a friend of mines notebook, its a n100 model 0768 12u running windows xp. This is the situation so far. First his hard drive had fried so i replaced that and put the o.s. back on it,but now the battery will not charge. also the wireless network card and dvd drive did not work. I had originally thought that they might have fried as well when the hard drive went down. However I looked through the forums here and found that alot of people solved the battery issue simply by replacing the battery i recommended that. He purchased a replacement battery ( not a genuine lenovo battery, don't know if that makes a difference) and when i put it in the dvd drive and the network card started working no problem. But alas the battery still would not charge. the system runs fine without a battery in it, but if i put the battery in it while its running it turns itself off after about 30 seconds of having the battery in. when the system is powered off and i put the battery in the battery lcd in front blinks 5 times orange then nothing for about 30 seconds then 5 more times. maybe thats a trouble code, don't know, looked all oover the forums and couldn't find anything quite like it. any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Steve

Duck3,
Glad that worked for you! Thanks for sharing here.
I saw a weird situation on friend's ThinkPad recently - a replacement battery arrived with a 37% charge (not 100% deliberately as somewhere around 40% is the best for shelf life), but it would not accept a charge. We did a reset by removing the battery & AC and pressing and holding the power button a number of times (some people say 10 times, some two or three times for a count of 5 or 10). This drains residual capacitance.
We plugged back in the battery and AC and it began to charge.
Might be worth a try here before he opens it up ....

Battery does not charge on Satellite M35X-S349

Hi, After fixing the DC plug, which was broken, the battery did not charge. When i plug my AC adapter the charge light (orange) stays on for 5 sec. then extinguishes. The computer can be operated without the battery (AC adapter plugged in). When i flip the computer over and measure the voltage from the pins going to the battery (battery not in) i measure from left to right :, ground, 5,7V, 5,7V, 0v, 3,8V, 3,8V, 1,7V. So there seem to be voltage enough to charge the battery.
My question, is my battery fault, is there a possibility that the charging circuit is faulty or did i not solder the DC plug correct (is that possible when the computer works without hiccups from AC adapter).
thanks Olafur

Hi,
I've just installed my new battery that I bought on e-bay for $75 and now my computer is charging. I opened the faulty battery to see if there were any faulty connectors. In short I did not find the fault in the battery. Inside there are 8 batteries connected in row of two times four ( 2 always parallel then in series with the next one) , measuring the batteries it looks like two of them are low on voltage but it would be too expensive to buy them for the experiment.
Also there is a charging circuit and on it there are some Power Mosfet, Lithium battery protection AFE and Battery Management IC. I took some pictures of the battery as I was opening it.
Anyway I am happy with the new battery.
I will thank you guys, Gipsyman, Joao, Jimi in answering my enquiry.
Olafur.

Battery problem, not charging

Well, it's a "common" problem, but the standard solutions don't seem to work. So here's the deal:
I've let my MBP open last weekend without the charger on it and when I got home of course the MBP was off because the battery was empty (obviously).
When I put the MagSafe charger on the MBP the light didn't turn orange but stayed green and when I put the MBP on the menu bar on top says Not Charging, so I started looking for solutions and I did a SMC and PRAM reset, but still the battery isn't charging and the MBP only works when it's connected to the charger and immediately turn of when I disconnect it.
The battery was fine, so I don't think it's broken... At least I hope so... But I tried all the resets I could find on the internet...
What should I do now?

It sounds as if the battery has been flattened below the point where there was sufficient charge to run its own inbuilt microprocessor , fantastik_badr.
If, you flatten these batteries beyond a certain point it is possible to have the microprocessor inside the battery "shut down" the battery to prevent too deep a discharge. At first the battery processor itself continues to operate after this event, but eventually it , too, draws enough of the remaining current to become inoperative. When this occurs you will not be able to recharge it using a normal charger, though in some cases it can be at least partially recovered with more sophisticated equipment.
You can read something about this sort of issue at http://www.buchmann.ca/Chap5-page3.asp
Take your battery to an Apple dealer or a battery specialist and see if they can "reset" it for you by giving it a boost charge.
Cheers

Logic board fine - battery still not charging

hi all,
i have a problem with my battery. here is the issue in the short form: my battery is not charging. the green led light is on even when the battery is not fully charged. the computer recognizes that it is plugged into a outlet, but it doesn't charge to one hundred percent. i've checked the outlet, tried different power adapters, and ran a hardware test on the logic board. all have not solved the issue. the logic board is apparently fine according to the test.
to complicate matters further and give you a better understanding of the problem, i'll describe in more detail the issue. when i turn on the computer after it has been shut down or if i unplug the adapter and then plug it back it, the battery charges briefly (and the led changes to orange) for about ten to fifteen seconds, before it stops charging. over the past three weeks since the problem started, i've gotten the battery to go from 44 percent to 76 percent simply with these short ten second bursts of charge. these ten second bursts only happen right after plugging in the ac adapter. once it stops charging, then it stays like that unless you unplug it and then plug it in again.
so guys, this is my issue. i thought that the only issues associated with this problem could be the power source, the ac adapter, the battery, and the logic board. the power source and the adapter are not the problem. neither is the logic board. although i am getting a new battery because of the recall, it was working just fine up until this issue. that is, it was able to be fully charged. i'm stumped and i don't know what to do. i would greatly appreciate anyone's advice. thanks so much.

I'm sorry it took me so long to see you message and I'm also sorry I do not have a solution to your problem which is exactly the same problem I have. I've done very similar things to it and still I have a problem. At this point my 12-inch is sitting idle probably awaiting a large repair bill. I've been dealing with this for over a year and if you look at the past postings on the discussion board you'll find out that more than a couple of people are or have had this power problem. I got my 12-inch G4 in the spring of '03 and a year or so later I begain to have the same power problems you have had. What has not happened to you, but has to me is that it refuses to either charge a new battery or even power-up pluged directly into the wall outlet. I've been hoping that maybe Apple would recognize there is a defect in this series of G4's and do free repairs, but I started turning blue from holding my breath.

Macbook Pro Battery Is Not Charging but Condition: Normal

Hi,
This question may have been answered but I couldn't find any information about problems with the same symptoms as my own. My 2010 MacbookPro battery is not charging but the green light on the adaptor is green when plugged in. Laptop will die if power adaptor is removed. Have attempted SMC restart but still receiving following information.
Battery Information:
Charge Information:
Charge Remaining (mAh):          0
Fully Charged:          No
Charging:          No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          0
Health Information:
Cycle Count:          0
Condition:          Normal
Battery Installed:          Yes
Amperage (mA):          0
Voltage (mV):          0
Condition is NORMAL but the Cycle Count has been reduced to 0 which it definitely is not after about 20 months of use but I cannot tell what the actual Cycle
Count is for obvious reasons. I'd rather not have to get a new battery but am aware this could be neccessary. Was just curious if anybody else had experienced
a similar problem and if they had it resolved as I cannot get to an Apple store for at least a month!
Thanks for the help.

A new development has just occured. I noticed the light on the adaptor suddenly turned orange. Now the battery is showing the following:
Battery Information:
Charge Information:
Charge Remaining (mAh):          5541
Fully Charged:          No
Charging:          Yes
Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          6492
Health Information:
Cycle Count:          205
Condition:          Normal
Battery Installed:          Yes
Amperage (mA):          1839
Voltage (mV):          12369
Ever seen anything like this before? Problem with the connectors or circuit fault as you suggested?
