My battery just stopped working!!!!!!!

Was just using my Macbook and the screen just went blank I tried to turn it on and the screen would just flash once and would not turn on again, so I plugged it in to mains power and it would turn on again, the battery still appears as charging but when I unplug it from mains, it turns off again!!!!
Can anybody please shed some light on my dilemma?
My guess is that the battery has just died on me.........
Thanks

    My remote for my Apple TV just stopped working and I have tried putting in a new battery, re-pairing the remote, resetting the device by unplugging it, and I checked the infared coming from the remote is working. The light just blinks at me 3 times what else can I try to fix it?

    Have you tried unpairing the remote? You do this by pointing your remote at the Apple TV and holding the MENU and Left buttons down together for 6 seconds.

  • My Iphone 5 just stopped working. Won't even pick up a battery charge.

    My Iphone 5 just stopped working. There is no damage to it and now it won't even hold a charge. What do I do?

    Depending on the age and use of the phone, you might need a new battery. Visit an Authorized Appel Service Provider or Apple Store to check the battery.
    Apple Support can also do that for you.

  • My lock button doesn't work. It didn't break, it just stopped working

    Ok. So apparently during a workout outside, my brand new, month old iPhone 4S decides it wants to workout too. So I brought it to my workout, put it in a backpack, and set the bag down as I normally do. The dew on the grass that morning apparently casused enough condensation to trigger my litmus paper, and now my brnad new iPhone has no warranty, hence my question here. I have been searching for a week or 2 now on information for this, and can find nothing. Apple will do nothing but tellme they can replace the phone for $200 but then won't wanswer questions about the issue itself, and I seem to be the only iPhone owner in the world with this problem, so it's nowhere on the intarwebz.
    So my lock button, up top, on the shoulder, stopped working. It didn't break, it didn't get stuck down, it just stopped working. Like, the screen flashed (go to wake the phone up, it didn't wake up, so I pressed the button again, and it flashed on and then off again real quick, like normally would). Hit it again, nothing. Hit the Home button, woke up. Played with phone, etc, went to put to sleep...... nothing. Hit the button multiple times, nothing. Button still clicks down and functions as the button itself should, but no sleep or wake. The button only actually does what it's supposed to do when I hard reset, or the phone is off and I'm turning it on. I can't take a screenshoot of the phone, and every now and then my phone will be just sitting on the table or wherever, and it will wake up, the "Slide to Close" bar pops up, and then 15 seconds later, goes back to bed.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue, and what should I look at fixing inside? I have not taken this one apart yet as I don't have the tools anymore, waiting on them to get here, but I figure Apple has screwed me on my warranty, so I'm just going to fix it myself. Never had this specific issue before, so I'm not really sure what the **** is messed up until I can take a look inside. Any help until then would be wonderful. Sorry for the long back story, and thanks for looking.

    Your problem is rare from the symptoms you describe. Most lose the click function, yours still has it. Yours functions sporadically or only for certain functions. Maybe it is liquid damage causing this. Maybe it will dry and be OK.
    While waiting for your Pentalobe Screwdriver, try a Firmware Restore with iTunes. See if this helps. If you still decide to procede, the first step inside should be to carefully disconnect the battery at its connector. Also all the screws inside are different sizes, except for some of the Screen screws, so keep them well sorted.

  • My charger just stopped working. The cord has no visible damage and the plug box works fine with other phone cords. I've had my phone

    My charger just stopped working. The cord has no visible damage and the plug box works fine with other phone cords. I've had my phone for less than four months now. Will Apple provide a new charger if theirs is faulty? I have not dropped it in water or anything. It was a normal day and I had 20% battery and I tried to charge my phone and it wouldn't charge. The charging pug box works fine with other phone USB cords so I know its something to do with the charging cord.

    Yes.
    Everything is included in the warranty.

  • My iPod 5th Generation charger just stopped working??

    Both my mother and I have iPod 5's and we've only had them maybe 6 months. I've never had any problems with the charger I have which is the white regular one that came with the iPod when I bought it. Today, when I got home from school, I tried to charge my iPod, but it simply wouldn't charge with the wall adapter. I then tried to plug it in to the computer and it still wouldn't work. I then thought it was the charger, so I tried my spare charger, yet it refused to work as well. I also tried it on my mothers iPod and it would not work either. The cables are not broken, I have just used them today. Also we thought it could have been the wall adapter and we used the standard white one by Apple, yet when we plugged it into the wall it said it was not compatible. I don't understand why they would just stop working out of nowhere, when nothing has been done to render them from working.

    Not Charge

  • My charger just stopped working even though the light turns on

    My charger just stopped working and I got my laptop less then two weeks ago, the green light turns on then turns orange and shows it is charging but the battery doesn't increase it decreases as if I never had the charger connected, what can I do? I have no insurance for my laptop.

    As Csound1 sugessted bring it back and exchange it before the 14 day window expires. Take advantage of it.
    You also have a 1 year warranty

  • My razr m just stopped working turned off by itself and will not turn on

    my razr m just stopped working turned off by itself and will not turn on

    raamw,
    My wife has the exact same phone and I have the razr HD (basically the same, just larger screen etc).
    We have run into the same thing a few times, and as stated above by Callie I have found it is a dead battery issue. BUT unlike my previous phone (Droid incredible) that I could usually plug in, wait a few minutes, then at least turn on and use while plugged in, I have found for the M and mine it really took a bit to get it charged.  Kind of like as long as there is some battery you are ok, but once it dies it takes a bit of charging.
    ALSO - I am going to perhaps not use the right terms or words for this, but  I THINK (emphasize think) at least once it wasn't enough to use one of the lower amp chargers.  at least on mine.  tried to charge and charge and didn't seem to work.  Finally I took a charger that I normally need to use for my daughters tablet and use that then it had enough kick.  I will note I think that was the issue.
    regardless each time yes it took awhile before we could turn them on.  ALSO it seemed like it took a much longer time in holding the power button down.  BUT eventually they started up and we were good to go.
    we love our phones, she especially loves the size of the M.  BUT we have learned in the short 2-3 months we have had them, if possible, don't let the thing drain all the way.  just seems to cause a bit of a hastle

  • My apple TV remote just stopped working!

    My apple TV remote (silver) just stopped working after about 6 months, I replaced the battery and reset the remote by holding the remote close and pointing it at the Apple TV, then holding down the menu and rewind buttons for 6 seconds... still nothing.  I sometimes get a sound when I'm putting the battery cover back on but then I try the remote again and it still doesn't work.  My older white remotes work fine.  My iPhone works fine as a remote with the apple TV.... just not sure what happened to the silver one.
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    Chantelle

    Do you have a mac that recognizes the silver remote?
    If you think it has died, walk it into the nearest Apple Store and ask for assistance there.
    Good luck in any case.
