Playbook will not charge, no red LED light

The Battery charge said 3%. I turned off the playbook and plugged it in and left it to charge with the LED lights showing. I went to retrieve it, only to find out it's not turning on. No red light appeared. nothing. I went and plugged it in and then tried turning it on Nothing.No red light...just dead. PS: I just got the Playbook from relative without the manual and all so i'm not sure about the DO's and DON"T's of using the tablet. Please help!!! Thanks in Advance.

Your battery is dead. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB27705
Try this:
Connect the charger that came with the PlayBook and plug it into the wall. Hold down the Power Button only for 20 seconds. Leave it for 4 minutes, then unplug at the wall, wait a minute, plug it back in again, hold down the Power Button only for 20 seconds.
Repeat this process about 10 times and hopefully, your PlayBook should go into a high charging rate. Leave it plugged in overnight and you should have a full charge by morning.

Playbook will not boot - solid red LED for 10s

My Playbook went dead last week. Put it on the wall charger for many hours and the thing will not boot. Now, all I get when I plug it in to the wall charger, or computer USB cable is the LED lights up red for about 10 seconds, then nothing.
I can't find this behavior listed anywhere on any site, and of course my complimentary BB support has expired. Help me out before I bring this brick back to the store.

Actually, the web page you need is here: http://us.blackberry.com/support/playbook-support/contact.jsp
I called, and apparently, the 90 commplentary support starts when you register your PlayBook, because I was able to get a support ticket from the friendly voice on the other end.
Also, I gathered that Blackberry would handle any warranty returns themselves (though you'd probably need a proof of purchase/reciept).
I had to run to a meeting, so I'll have to call back. Problem not solved yet, but progress.

HT3964 My Macbook air charges intermittently. At times when I connect the power adapter it shows that power is coming in but says "not charging" and the led light on the power adapter does not light. At other times it charges normally. Any ideas?

Hey guys,
I am having problems with charging my mac Air. Sometimes it charges perfectly but then at times much as it shows that it's getting the power from the charger, it says "not charging" and the led light on the charger does not light up. Any help?

That can happen when you are Taxing the system. No Apple supplied AC adapter supplies enough power to both power the system and charge the battery at the same time when the system is under Heavy Load, when you are Taxing the system heavily. At those times it will draw power from both the AC adapter and the battery at the same time. So if it is drawing power from both it can't charge the battery while it is drawing power from it.

My iPod shuffle, which I prchased in 2009 only worked for a short time so I put it back in the box and just recently took it out. I will not charge and the power light does not come on. It was faulty from the start and thought I was out the money I paid.

My iPod shuffle only worked for a short time. It will not charge and the power light does not come on. Bought it in 2009. Put it back in the box and in my desk. Recently tried to get it to work again but no luck. Anyone else have this problem? Very disappointed with the product although my wifes work perfectly.

Can't say I haven't done the same kind of thing...keep finding things I had every intention of...
If you have the chance stop by an Apple Retail store and talk to them about it...they often work deals for replacement of out of warranty non-working items for prices around half price. Won't hurt to stop by and see what they will do for you.

I have the ishuffle 2nd generation. When I plug in, itunes recognizes it but it will not charge. The green light flashes a few times but then goes out. I'm not sure if the battery is dead or if something else can be done. Any advice?

To rule out a problem with the shuffle's onboard software, I would try a Restore on the shuffle using iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
If that does not help, you should do a test to confirm there is not a problem on the USB port, such as lack of power to operate the iPod and charge it battery. Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used). If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.
If that does not help, it is more likely that the problem is a hardware problem on the shuffle, such as the battery.

HT3964 what if the battery is not charging and the LED light is off, what should I do

Should I buy a new adaptor?

You charger could be bad...do you have another one to test? You can try resetting your SMC:

If that doesn't work, & you don't have another charger to try, make an appointment at an Apple store. Take both computer & charger.

Will not charge

Mbp 13 (mid 2009). Does not charge. Runs on ac power as well as battery, but will not charge. No led light or very very faint led light on MagSafe. However last night the batt went from 1% to 99%. This rules out the batt being bad. I am thinking it is the adapter. When I unplugged MagSafe.....the led came on, and stayed on until I unplugged from the wall. My wife is taking it to the apple store. If it is not the MagSafe then the dc-in board is shot. Wondering if it is the dc-in board how much for apple to do. Can get on at ifixit for 70$.
Anyway, starting to ques the quality control @apple.

Check batt condition in System Profiler.

Playbook red light flashing 1 long 4 short, will not charge, not able to connect to PC

I have many Playbooks in my family; my younger son's Playbook will not charge just flashing 1 long 4 short red lights. I used a good logic board to charge the battery to full 100%, then put the problem logic board back, it still flashing red lights. The problem is causing by my son has left the battery drain too low (no physical damage to the tablet); according to your suggestion to upgrade the OS to solve the problem, but my PC could not see this tablet (I know the USB port is good). My question is the logic board beyond fixing, I have tried the button methods, none of them worked. Any suggestion?

My MacBook Pro will not charge (no light on adapter)

I've been trying to charge my macbook all day, but it will not charge - the adapter light (green or amber) will not even turn on, and the computer is cold. Is it likely the adapter, battery, or something larger?

Hi jsfisher13. Will your Macbook Pro start up with battery and power cord attached? If so, download coconut battery app. I will give you a link. I have a 2009 Macbook that my daughter uses and it does not show as charging and will not run with battery removed. What I found is, that with coconut battery app, the Macbook was charging . But it was so slow that it would not show in the apple systems power or at the battery icon on the top menu. The charge rate was between 2.5 and .3 amps.Should be at least 12 volts. or 23 amps. Her Macbook took 8 hr. to go from 30% to full charge. If you can not see any green at all on the mag safe power adapter, even a very faint green you might have a defective dc in board. That is what you are plugging the mag safe into. It plugs into the logic board. You would have to take it to the apple store to have them run a test on it.http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/

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
