My battery is not charging (Macbook Pro 15" 2.53 ghz (mid 2009))

so I tried resetting smc (followed instructions from apple: shift+ctrl+option+powerbutton) NO result I guess? no way to check it? Is it at all possible on a Macbook Pro mid 2009 15" 2.53 ghz with OSX 10.6.7
Tried: resetting Pram(alt+cmd+p+r) did not help.
Tried reinstalling osx. did not help
The Battery is curently at 7 %
Computer works with the adaptor in(green light all the time) - maybe it would work with the battery aswell, but I dare not try using any of the battery power.
Is there any thing else I can do? Or is it the battery that needs to to be changed?(1 1/5 years old..??)
Thanks

So far Apple has not released the specs for Mountain Lion yet.
It appears that the graphics card is going to be the deciding factor. So far everything is just rumor.
If you want my guess I think you are in better shape then I am. I have 2007 MBP and I think that one is right on the knife edge about running or not running Mountain Lion.

Hard Drive Replacement for MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009)

Recntly, my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009) stopped working. It would not even boot up. I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store where they ran some diagnostics and told me that my hard drive had failed. They said they could replace it for around $160 (labor and parts) or I could replace the drive myself and then have them install the operating system for free. This sounds like a much cheaper option.
What I am wondering is can I buy any hard drive, or does it have to be apple specific in some way? Does anyone have any recommendations on which hard drive to buy? Will I need any other special tools to do this?
Thanks.

Here's some great repair instructions for you: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Pro_15%22_Unibody_2.53_GHz_Mid_2009
There's no such thing as an Apple specific hard drive. Just be sure that it has the same connector as the one you're replacing.

Make sure the RAM is rated for your vintage and model Mac, and states so from the link you buy it from.

Du bist wahrscheinlich mit dem Problem, dass so viele von uns mit 2011 Maschinen werden mit - ein Defekt im Löten von der GPU, die erste wird allgemeine Ursache Bildschirm Probleme und schließlich zu einer unbrauchbar Maschine führen. Leider ist Apple die Anerkennung des Mangels und die einzige Angebot, das sie liefern den Nutzern ist eine Hauptplatine ausgetauscht werden - die bis $ 700 + USD aufrufen können.
Einige Leute, die lange vorbei sind, werden mit Garantie neue GPU eingebaut. Dieser Prozess ist sehr viel billiger als eine neue Hauptplatine und scheint eine dauerhafte Lösung für den Mangel an.

The thunderbolt display does not charge macbook pro,

there is a magnetic adapter for the power cord...do I need to find a new cord for the display or is there a problem with the mac book pro?

The Thunderbolt Display has two cables to connect to the MacBook Pro.
The first is the Thunderbolt cable, identified by the lightening bolt on the connection. This carries data to the display for either passing through to other devices connected to the display (in this way, the display unit also acts as a hub for other devices (USB, Thunderbolt or maybe FireWire), or to the display unit to put on the screen. This cable does NOT charge the MacBook
The second is the power cable. The current version of the display (as of April 2013) contains the power cable to connect to the older type of MagSafe connections on the MacBook, and an adaptor to connect to the newer MacBook's (MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Retina). You have to (of course) use the the adaptor or not depending on how old the MacBook is. It is an akward thing, but you have to use the adaptor for the newer Macs and not for the older Macs (sounds backwards, but that is the way it is).
The older versions of the display (mid 2012) do not come with the adaptor and you have to buy one if you have a newer Mac. Or you can continue to use the power brick that came with the Mac.
Soon, (hopefully - but not soon enough IMHO) Apple will release a new version of the display which will (in addition to being thinner, lighter, use less power, etc.) will contain a power cord that will fit right into the newer Macs and you will need an adaptor if you have an older Mac.
Sounds kind of confusing, but if the power cable from the Thunderbolt does not fit your Mac, you have to use an adaptor.

Macbook Pro Version 10.8.5 (Mid 2009) Crash

My Macbook crashed unsuspectingly while in class today. This has happened maybe twice in the past year, and I'd like to address the problem sooner rather than later. I'd really appreciate anyone's help on this. The log is below.

Macbook Pro battery is not charging but the battery meter is full

Hi guys!
I have a 19 months macbook pro. I've tried using 2 different AC adapter but my mac's battery is still at 0% and the status says "Battery is not charging". I think my battery is dead but the LED battery indicator on my battery shows 5 lights, means its at full power.
I've tried to disconnect the AC cable and remove the battery, then press the power button for 10 sec but nothing change when i start my mac again...i also tried to reset my PRAM ( i think ) by holding a cmdopt+PR while rebooting but it didn't help to solve the problem too. I also have the battery update 1.2 installed on my mac and the results is still the same.
This is my battery info from system profiler. I hope someone can tell me what to do before I visit the Apple store.

Hello,
I am having some strange battery behavior. I bought a FastMac TruePower Battery that is supposed to have extended capacity. Now when the battery dies, i plug in my MagSafe to charge it and it immediately says 'not charging', but then begins to charge. It either continues to charge and gets stuck at 80% or so and reads "calculating" in the menu bar, or just jumps between 'charging' and 'not charging'. The symptoms are very strange, and FastMac already sent this battery back saying it passes all of their tests. I do not want to send it back again because they charged me to send it back to myself even though it still does not work as advertised. I have my original Macbook Pro Apple battery which still charges fine, so i assume it is a problem with the battery based on a simple process of elimination.

SMC Reset and Macbook Pro Battery still not charging

Hi, I bought a new Macbook Pro the Christmas before last (2 years ago) and unfortunately didn't remember to buy the AppleCare. (Didn't have the money to purchase it as I was buying the computer) Anyway, today my charger decided to stop recharging the battery. The battery icon says the battery is charging but the LED light on the charger is not on at all and when I click on the battery status it says "Battery is Not Charging." I've already tried the usual troubleshooting and Resetting the SMC but it didn't work. I also checked the status on the battery and my computer said it was Normal. What else can I do? I really need this laptop for college and the battery has to be usable.

If available, try a different charger.
What does System Report>Power say under AC CHARGER INFORMATION?

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.

MacBook Pro battery does not charge

My macbook pro is dead after the battery went flat. Now the battery will not charge, the LED on the power cord remains green, and I am unable to turn on the computer. Any suggestions on how to correct this problem?

When the battery is really dead there are three possibilities:
- Reset the SMC and hope the problem went
- Bring it to an Apple Service Provider, if it's covered under warranty
- Buy a new battery
All if it is the battery, and not something else with the power adapter or the MacBook Pro itself.

My Macbook Pro saying Battery is Not Charging

When I plug my Macbook Pro into a charger it is saying "Battery is Not Charging" and the charger isn't changing color when plugged in. But it is making the charging symbol over the battery?

Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If this does not help, contact Apple.

My battery is not charging and condition is normal [MacBook Pro 2012]

Well my battery is not charging and it says that condition is normal (image below):
I went to an iShop in México and the dude that works there said to me: "it is working fine", I dont know what to do, help please?

You are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it.

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?

My battery is not charging (Macbook Pro 15" 2.53 ghz (mid 2009))
