Did you try an SMC reset?

  • Applecare replaced battery says "check battery"

    Hi
    I took my Macbook Pro 2.4ghz Santa Rosa in for a Applecare repair 5 weeks ago because it would not boot from the battery and the audio port needed fixing.
    The AASP repair shop diagnosed the battery was faulty on the spot and ordered the replacement 3 weeks later the computer was ready. They lost my power cable + brick and replaced it with a smaller used cable they had spare after arguing my case.
    I finally got the cable and have checked the stats for the "new" battery and it says "check battery" here are the stats from System Profiler:
    Model Information:
    Serial Number: Sony-ASMB012-REMOVED-4eee
    Manufacturer: Sony
    Device name: ASMB012
    Pack Lot Code: 0001
    PCB Lot Code: 0000
    Firmware Version: 0110
    Hardware Revision: 0500
    Cell Revision: 0303
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 2263
    Fully charged: Yes
    Charging: No
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 2356
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 71
    Condition: Check Battery
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): -784
    Voltage (mV): 11991
    To see if i can fix this i've run the battery down and charged it up again and i've updated all the software including the most recent firmwire.
    I've read that Apple will replace the parts with reconditioned parts in the Applecare terms but will they also do the same with batteries ??
    I don't really want to go back to the repair shop i wasn't impressed with the service. Does anyone think that Apple Store will replace the battery with a new one on the spot or calling the help desk could be persuaded to send me a replacement ?
    Thanks
    David

    In addition to loosing your power supply and replacing it with a lesser model, the numbers looks like you were given a used AND defective battery. The health of that battery is only 42 percent if it's for a 1" MBP, and much less than that if it's a 17".
    We don't know your geographic location. If you are in the US, I would call Apple Consumer Relations and calmly relate the story. That AASP's status should be reviewed.

  • Battery condition says "Check battery"

    I have a MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and am now on my third battery, which is now only 12 months old. The nice people at the Apple Store gave it to me at no charge because my first two batteries had such short lives. Currently System Profiler says "Check battery" and that full charge capacity is only 3368 mAh after only 43 cycles.
    Why do these batteries not last well? Dying after only 43 cycles? I need to return to the Apple Store for a fourth battery?

    Hi Mactrix,
    I did try that, and unfortunately, without warning, the machine shut off as I was sending mail and Mail got corrupted. I've calibrated the battery before, and always got a pop up that warned me that the machine is now running on reserve power. After the "reserve" ran out, it would sleep. But this time there was nothing, just a "click" and darkness.
    Took the machine to the Apple store, they hooked up an iPod nano running a battey test program which said the battery was bad, Because the people there are so nice, they gave me a new battery (because it had so few cycles on it). No wonder Apple support is rated so high.
    Fortunately, I could restore Mail from TimeMachine - although there are some quirks I'm working on.

  • In 'about this mac' the battery condition says 'check battery'. Should I be worried?

    Hey guys,
    I've been looking at replacing a few parts for my macbook as it is getting a little old and beaten up now, and I don't have the money to buy a new one at the moment. I have just been searching through everything to see if anything is wrong. Mine is a white macbook from late 2009. So far I've had the bottom case replaced because the rubber was starting to peel off and was very scratched.
    Now I am looking at getting my trackpad replaced (or fixed) as it is stuck down and doesn't click anymore. I've tried cleaning it incase there was something stuck in it, but hasn't worked. After some research I've found that this could be due to a swollen battery. I had a quick look at it when I replaced the bottom case but it doesn't look like it has swollen. So I checked to see the conditon of the battery and it says 'check battery'. I am only up to charge cycle 299 and there is no problem with charging it or its charge life (not that I've noticed anyway). Could there be another reason as to why it says this?

    Firstly the trackpad could easily be due to the trackpad screw not being at the correct depth, easily fixable especialy if the tap to click works.
    As for the battery check battery usually means the battery has become faulty in some way. You could try an SMC reset with your adapter plugged in. (Shift-Option-Command-PowerButton at the same time). Your battery should still work but 299 is way too little for a your year MacBook needing to be replaced.

  • The software is not updateing on my iphone 4 just say checking for software update what should i do?

    the software is not updateing on my iphone 4 it saying checking for software update what should i do?

    The battery drain issue started when I updated my iphone 4 to the IOS 6.1.2.
    The battery will go from 100% to 0% in about 3 hours !!!
    I called Apple support and they told me that they are not aware of an issue affecting the battery with the latest update. They did a diagnostic test on my iphone and found that my battery is healthy. Then then recommended that I backup my iphone, restore the factory settings and recover after that. In other words, delete everything off my iphone and reinstall everything all over again. I waisted a couple of hours doing that and .....I still have the issue of the battery drain.
    I finally discovered the problem, and thus the solution!
    To solve this issue, do the following:
    Settings ---> Mail, Contacts, Calendars --->Fetch New Data ---> Advanced
    Now click on your hotmail account or your company email account (anything in that folder other than yahoo, gmail or aol),
    Change the setting from Push to Fetch !!!
    And Viola ! Problem will be solved !
    The problem seems to be that the mail exchange (i.e. microsoft, hotmail...etc) keeps checking and pushing emails from the exchange server every second (continiousely) and this is causing the battery to drain.When you change the setting to Fetch, then emails will start downloading every 15 min; but at least your battery will hold charge as it is supposed to do, until Apple comes up with 6.1.3 that hopefully will fix this issue.
    Good luck. Hope this works out for you folks hence it sure did work for me this morning and it sure feels great.
    Cheers !

  • Automated Order Status Says "Shipped"

    Online, my shipment date was bumped to 10/5 and the status says "sent for processing".    (I ordered at 2:00 a.m. CDT).   I dialed *611, went to option 4, and said "order status".  The automation asked if I was checking on my order ending in "XXXXXX".  It was my iPhone pre-order number.   I pressed 1.  The voice indicated that my order had "shipped" and I could expect it in 2 business days.  I was prompted to get the tracking number.   When I did so, no tracking number was provided.  Think it actually has shipped??

    This is just too funny. I just called *611, went to option 4, asked for my order status and was also told that my order had shipped. However, when I punched for the tracking number, I was told that the order was shown as received and the phone activated. Needless to say, I haven't received a phone and it is surely not activated. So I'm not putting much credence into these *611 messages. Maybe Verizon is just testing the system or getting it ready for Wednesday or Thursday notifications.

  • IPad app problems it won't. Let me download apps.it says check billing info I check everything number by number letter by letter

    iPad version 4.2.1 app problems it won't. Let me download apps.it says check billing info I check everything number by number letter by letter it still won't work everything on my billing is correct

    If you had money in your account when you purchased a paid app and Apple didn't claim on the payment to your bank until after the download it maybe that there was insufficient balancce in your account to complete the purchase and therefore you'll need to wait until you have the funds to make the payment, when you have billing issues it won't even let you download free apps.
    If that isn't the case then give iTunes store a call or email them and they can tell you exactly what is wrong with the account

    Be sure you are checking the email account that you used to set up the Apple ID you used to create the iCloud account.  Also, be sure to check your spam/junk folder as well as your inbox.  The email you should receive looks like the image below.  When you get it, click the Verify Now link.
