After you have backed up your data, open System Profiler>Power and post the following from your MBP:

  • My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

    My Macbook Pro will not charge. I have tried other charges and nothing. Can the MagSafe port go bad? Is that expensive to repair?

    The port can fail. Internal boards can fail. Batteries can fail. All with the result that no charging occurs. 
    You can try Resetting the System Management Controller and you can try Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters. 
    But usually you will have to take the mac in to a service place for testing.  It can get expensive, although occasionally it is not.

  • My macbook pro will not charge when I am using it.

    My macbook pro will not charge when I am using it. My battery will say "charged" then "not charging" and it goes back and fourth. It says "Power Source: Power Adapter". But when I use my pro it will loose the power source then reconnect a second later to it. This problem is getting annoying because I have to stop using my macbook pro to charge it.

    Reset SMC.

    Some basics please, what vintage is your MBP, have you plugged anything else into the wall socket to verify that it is live? which light doesn't turn on, the charger or the MBP?
    Hold the power button down for 15 seconds, wait for 2 then press it normally and see te MBP it turns on

  • Macbook pro says not charging but still the battery is charging

    macbook pro says not charging but still the battery is charging

    This isn't reference in any of the online support material that I've seen. Do you have a link to support this? Just curious is all.
    I had a similar issue on my wife's '09 MBP. Initially I thought it was the battery seeing as it's an older machine, but we tried resetting the SMC (after a bunch of other suggestions) and that seems to have done the trick.

  • 2012 Macbook Pro 13" not charging past 99%

    I bought a 2012 Macbook Pro (new, not refurb) in December however it doesn't seem to be able to charge past 99% anymore, also the first 5-6% rapidly dischargers (within 10 minutes of disconnecting the power cord) without any obvious reason as to why? If the laptop were older I would think that its just the battery reaching its life cycle but this definitely should not happen in a 4 month old laptop. 
    Has anyone else experienced this issue or would have any suggestions?

    That is normal.
    Battery may not show a full charge in Mac OS X
    "If the battery icon in the Finder menu bar is set to show the percentage of charge , you might sometimes notice that the battery does not attain a full 100 percent charge when the power adapter is attached. This is normal behavior; battery life is maximized if charging is not continuously cycled on and off when the battery’s charge capacity is between 95 and 100 percent. When the battery level eventually drops below 95 percent, it will charge all the way to 100 percent."

    Resetting SMC is the proceedure that will correct any anomaly in the reported reading of the battery charge level.
    But you do not have to do it in this case.

  • I spilled on my 2011 macbook pro, will not charge

    I spilled hot chocolate on my 2011 macbook pro, and it only got along the bottom front left edge of the computer, and not into any ports or on my charger. Charger was plugged in at the time. Computer shut off a couple of minutes after, so I restarted it,and the fan was running very loudly. \the trackpad was a little bit messed up, so I did an SMP reset and the computer is now fine. However, my charger will not work. When plugged into the laptop, it doesn't charge and the light doesn't come on, though it has no visible damage. Is the problem with the laptop or charger? Could the computer have damaged he charger at the time of the spill? Could the hot chocolate have seeped into the seam on the bottom of my computer? It was only wet for about 15 seconds.

      Normally, if electronic device suffers from the accident of liquid spill, you should shut down them and plug off power supply immediately to avoid possible electricity broken. In fact, it is not easy to detect visible damage by visual look. In regard to your example, i mean hot chocolate actually penetratres electronic component inside your computer and cause the fault for hardware system. What you need to do is remove the computer case and try to dry internal electrical circuit out. If this method doesn't work, you should bring to repair service. Good luck ! 

  • MacBook pro will not charge even when the charger is plugged in and working

    So this is a strange one.
    I have been using my MacBook pro for a lot of film editing and motion graphics. Recently, I noticed that my battery kept going down, even when charging. I thought nothing on it and kept using it. After around 4 hours, the battery went from 90% to 23% WHILE plugged in. This got me nervous. When I plug in the MagSafe charger, the light comes on and I get the "charging" symbol in my toolbar. The light turns orange and then, after a few minutes, the power starts to go down instead of up.
    I have had this laptop since Christmas 2012 and this has never happened before. The laptop does charge, but only when I am running no application, when the screen is shut or when the laptop is powered off. Bear in mind that right now, I am on Firefox, that is the only application open, yet the charge is still going down. I assumed it was because I was using Premiere CS6, After Effects CS6 and Cinema4D, but now even when they are not open, the batter will not charge when I am using the laptop.
    What is going on? Is in the charger? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am starting to stress!
    Thank you everyone for reading,
    -Rory Campbell
    UPDATE: I am currently only running Firefox and Finder. Now the laptop is charging as usual. However the second I open up Premiere, After Effects etc, it goes down. I have no idea what is going on!

    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC. If you don't know how to, don't worry. They're very easy to reset. Just google how to do it. If that doesn't work, the only thing I would suggest is to take both the laptop and the charger to your local genius bar to have them examined. If it's less than a year old, apple should replace whatever is wrong with it as long as it was a factory defect.
