Poured hot water on my mac, now battery not charging!

Please help!
I mistakenly poured a cup of hot water on my mac book pro and it stopped working. i opened the back panel, cleaned some water, used vacuum cleaner to suck it and then use fan to dry it. Now it's working but the battery is not charging, if i remove the power cod, it trips off like TV.
Please help!

You're incredibly lucky that anything works. But there's no telling what was damaged, and there's no way of testing the charging and power management system in the machine other than by replacing parts until it works properly again. Have the machine repaired.

    You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

  • My iphone 4 ran out of battery and now will not charge

    Yesterday my iphone was acting unusual randomly alerting me with a message saying something like the accessory you have plugged into your iphone is not compatable with this device(while my iphone was not plugged into anything at all). it had done this several times during the day untill had turned it off and then back on.  For the rest of the day no alerts had popped up. Later that night my iphone ran completely out of battery dead and now will not charge or turn on, while on the charger or not.  I have not updated the phone since i got it.  I just tried plugging it into my computer and my computer (PC)recognized it but said that the device could not be installed. Is there anything i can do?

    You most likely have dirt, moisture or a bent pin in the dock connector on the phone. Inspect it with a magnifying glass, and if it's dirt do your best to clean it thoroughly. A dry toothbrush frequently will fix it.
    If that doesn't resolve the problem the phone needs to be repaired.

    Sorry if this has already been asked. Just got the newest i-pad had a bit of difficulty getting the charger in and now nothing not charging. HELP

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Battery not charging when plugged in

    I have a Pavillion g6-1d11dx laptop and I have two problems (and I don’t know if they are related). First, I have been having trouble with the battery not charging while it is plugged in to the AC outlet. The battery icon in the systray currently says “40% available (plugged in, not charging)” and the percentage has been consistently going down over many weeks. Most recently, when I unplug it from the AC it no longer goes to battery reserve, it just loses power entirely (and when I plug it back in and turn on the power I get the “system was not shut down properly…” message).
    Second, and I don’t know if this is related, but for several weeks the fan has been running, seemingly non-stop, especially overnight. I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I have a scheduled nightly (1 am) definitions update and full scan that usually takes about 2 to 2-1/2 hours. But my wife says no matter when she gets up in the middle of the night, the fan is always running, and the unit has been very hot. My wife has been concerned about a fire (though it's not a model listed in the recall). I downloaded a BIOS update from the HP website hoping that would help. The fan seems to have been running less, but hasn’t stopped entirely.
     I wanted to see if I could detect any problems with the battery, so I went through all the suggested troubleshooting protocols listed on the HP website, but ran into a hitch when I tried to use the HP Support Assistant utility on the laptop. When it opens, the Support Assistant displays "An error occurred" (instead of "Support Assistant") in the window's title bar and the system variables ([Product Name], [Serial Number] and [Product Number]) listed in the Support Assistant status bar all say "Loading...", but never do load. When I go to the Maintain mode to check the battery status, it says "No pending action", and, as suggested on the HP website, I click the Refresh button (then, in the pop-up window that appears, I choose the “Check all updates, but install only important updates automatically” radio button, then click OK). But while the result page displays “Pass” on the checks for “Connect to HP servers” and “Preparing the action list”, it displays “Fail” on the checks for “Downloading updates”, “Gathering information” and “Analyzing your system”. Oddly, when I run the system check from te HP website, it DOES auto-detect my system info (Serial Number: 5CG21919LT; Product Number: B7S84UA).
     I tried to open the HP Connection Manager utility, but I get the HPConnectionManager.exe fails to load ("Cannot load assembly: CaslShared, Version=3.5.1.1, Culture=neutral,  PublicKeyToken=9c6f83d5b7f3d097. The application will now exit.").
    Can someone tell me how to properly connect to HP to allow the utilities to do their diagnoses? And/or why my battery isn’t charging and I can’t get a system diagnostic?

    I should note that this unit is pretty new: purchased in august 2012.

  • "Battery Not Charging"... Cold weather problem

    I think I have figured out that that charging device does not work when the computer is cold.
    This is the 2nd time it has happened. I reset PRAM and PMU with no change. Then later it spontaneously fixed itself when the sun started hitting the van. Thinking possibly when the computer is cold it happens, since it was 17º this morning and the computer was asleep all night. I had run the battery that evening depleting it totally. However, the night before it was -11º and the problem did not happen, possibly because I had left it running all night with no disk spindown.
    Also, looking backwards at Oct 29 of the first occurrence, yes we did have a cold spell and a snowstorm, I remember now it hit about 17º.
    So it seems like this is a problem when the charging device is cold (actually my cellphone does the same thing). The solution would be to keep the disk spinning full time while it is below about 25º. Or maybe even put some insulation over the computer.
    I had a 1.6 PowerBook earlier that never showed this problem. It charged normally down to -5º. So perhaps this is an Intel oddity.
    I realize I am running the MacBook at 63º below tech specs, so please refrain...

    I think I have the same problem. Macbook Pro indicates shortly it doesn't charge, then turns to charging. But the last time it stuck to 'battery not charging'. Then I played for about fifteen minutes, warming up the video card (and it does get warm) and now it charges again.
    It remains a strange problem and I will see the MacStore about it.

  • HT1338 battery not charging.  Suggestions?

    Battery not charging.  Computer turns off completely when disconnected from power cord.  When plugged back in, the screen comes up gray at first and then as to regular screen.

    How old is your MacBook and what is the condition of the battery: click the apple in the left corner of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power...then battery Condition, Capacity, Cycle count, and Voltage.

  • No AC Power, Battery not charging, Windows boot up issue

    Searched the forums but could not find an answer for my specific problem.  
    COmputer: L355 - S7905
    Windows XP Professional
    Issue: installed new motherboard.  When on AC power, laptop shows a steady green LED light but will not boot up without the battery installed.  Will not stay running when the battery is removed or dies.  When plugged into AC power, battery charging light is on but battery continues to lose power; will not charge.  Had the computer operating properly initially but noticed the power issue.  I ran a chkdsk on one of the subsequent boot ups and now have a "config.sys file missing" error and can not get into windows any longer.  I was going to try some of the battery charging suggestions listed on this forum but no longer can get into windows or the recovery council.  Last screen attainable says to select "R" to repair system using a Windows disk.  Can not get to a DOS prompt.  
    Status so far:
    - Ran volt meter check on power adapter and getting steady 19 volts.  Various motherboard checks with a voltmeter are seem normal.
    - All LED lights on laptop are indicating the computer is working in a proper state (ie power light on, batt charging light on, HDD light on when in use, etc)
    - replacement motherboard is the EXACT same motherboard as the original.  Same model - identical.
    - Can get passed BIOS screen successfully; can get into boot options screen (Safe Mode options, command prompt, etc) but all options eventually default to an error message I get from the chkdsk program and I can not go any further.  
    - Laptop did not come with an original Win XP restore disk.
    - Battery is a replacement but is the exact same part number as on the Toshiba original battery.  Battery seems to be operating perfectly once it is charged (had to go to computer accessory store for charge)
    Questions:
    - Why is the AC power only not able to run the laptop??  Is it a software issue??
    - Once I can get into the windows OS, I presume I should be able to correct the battery not charging issue . . . is that right??  Sounds like it is a software issue from what I have read on the forums.  My plan was to reinstall the Windows operating system but I can not do that on battery power alone.
    Any suggestions on how to proceed??
    Thank you - Paul
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Lawrence - Your suggestion was right on target, the replacement adapter solved my power problem.  I would have never believed that to be the problem since the digital voltmeter was indicating the required 19v from the defective adapter, I would obviously NOT have figured this out on my own.  Thanks for your time, response and help on this issue, I really appreciate it.
    Paul

  • Satellite L55-A5284 battery not charging

    I have had this Toshiba Satellite L55-A5284 for about 11 months now.  Everything was going fine and then less than 5 days ago I unplugged the AC adapter and the laptop just went off.  Long story short went on Toshiba's troubleshooting section in Support and answered some questions and it told me that I needed a new AC Adapter.  Received the adapter today and plugged it in still have the same problem battery not charging.  I called Toshibal support and was told that my laptop has a built in battery and in order to change it without a fee being charged to me I would have to send my laptop to Toshiba and wait 7 to 10 days to get my laptop back.  I do not like this solution since alot of my personal information is on my laptop and the length of time I will be without my laptop.  Does anyone out there have any other suggestions for me to get the battery replaced free of charge?

    If the Troubleshooting Assistant finds that you laptop needs a new battery, it can send you a battery as well. It'll work just like the swap with the AC adapter. Unfortunately, you'll have to change the battery yourself (or get someone to do it for you). I don't like commenting on the difficulty because it's so subjective. You'd have to take the bottom case off to reach it. It won't void your warranty, but if you damage anything else while attempting to change it, that could.

  • G500s Battery not charging

    Hi there! I only got my Lenovo G500s three months ago, and the battery isn't working properly. I'm not sure what happened but a few days ago it just stopped chargining and now I have to keep it plugged in it at the mains to keep it on.

  • DV4 1275 Power Issue, Battery not charging, Will not Power with AC only

    HP Pavillion DV4-1275mx
    Battery will not charge, Laptop will not fully turn on with battery in (battery not charging at all).  Laptop will not power on at all with no battery using only AC and with battery it will attempt to load and die due to lack of charge.
    Have tried 3 diff HP chargers.
    The orginial 1 that came with the laptop is dead and will not charge anything. Tried it on a diff HP laptop and not recognizing any power
    The 2nd one is OE HP laptop diff model but same wattage that came with my gfs work laptop.  I have charge my laptop with it before in the past however it is not charging the battery now either
    The 3rd is a aftermarket generic one that my g/f bought in the airport and it works with hers as well however I have never used it on mine. 
    I have tried hard resetting.. taking out battery, holding power for a min and replugging everything.
    Also when I remove the battery and plug in either of the chargers that do work the power LED are "not" lighting up on the front or the LED where the AC plugs into the laptop.  Which makes you think the charger is bad however the 2 working chargers do work on my other 2 HP laptops.
    If i plugin one of the 2 working chargers with the battery it will go through the boot process and as its starting windows it just dies and shuts off.  The power led by the DC jack does light up and the charging light on the front lights up. However this only works when I unplug the battery and plug the AC charger in. After the laptop boots up to starting windows and dies. I have to remove the battery and replace it to get the LEDS to light back up..  If the MB was bad I wouldnt think any of the LED's would come on nor would the laptop boot up to the starting windows. If  keep trying to turn it on the booting time is shortened as the battery is not holding a charge and sometimes it only makes a few seconds and then just dies out.
    I dont have alot of money to spend so I was hoping maybe you could point me in the right direction.
    Should I buy the replacement part OE charger for my specific laptop? (not sure if its going to be much diff than the others since they are all 65 watt chargers)
    Should I buy a new battery as well?
    Or does this sound like a short problem in the mother board or a solder issue with the DC plugin?
    If it is an issue with the motherboard I do not want to go through the hassle of buying the battery and charger as I will end up having to just replace the laptop
    If you could please advise me what direction to go I would be so greatful.

    Dude, I have the same exact problem with mine. It's not a cheap fix either. It definitely is the motherboard.
    I'm no expert, but I believe the problem is a dead capacitor on the motherboard preventing it to build up a charge.
    I spoke with an HP rep, which told me it's $398 for them to fix.
    I let them know that I didn't have another $400 to put into this laptop. So, they suggested I try reseating the motherboard. And also reseating the memory modules.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01597750.pdf
    That is a pdf of the laptop's manual. It'll help in reseating. Page ( 59 ) for the motherboard. Page ( 67 ) for the memory modules.
    This hasn't helped at all with mine, but maybe it'll help with yours!

  • Macbook Pro 2011 battery not charging error code

    My Macbook Pro just turned 1 year old and the battery might be defective or dead ( Warranty just passed by ) it originally cam with Snow Leopard but I WEB upgraded to Lion (which was far from being easy ... had alot of crashes and hanging happening)
    I have the now infamous battery not charging problem. The OSX status bar shows the battery icon with a 'X' meaning no battery. I think the MacBook is not charging the battery because OSX doesn't see a battery.
    Today I just noticed that (IMPORTANT) with the power adapter connected, pressing the battery power level button displays a 5 blinks code. Otherwise with power adaptor not connected, the battery seems even too weak to light up even a single LED".
    Even though I do a proper shutdown, it is to note that the MacBook Pro starts right away when I plug the power adaptor. I starts right away without me even pressing the power button.
    Yerterday I really though the MacBook Pro was not going to work anymore, it kept abruptly shuting down again and again. I couldn't do any of the work I was supposed to.
    I did PRAM and SMC resets and eventually I was able to startup the MacBook Pro and do some work but the battery still remains unavailable.
    I have 2 of the same 85 Watt charger ( the first one being from a previous MacBook Pro 2008 --- which is waiting to get a repair ) and both performs the same: not charging.
    Maybe the battery discharged beyond the point it can be seen my the MacBook Pro and OSX. Just like car battery, if it get discharges way too much, you won't even see the nominal voltage on the terminals even without any load.
    EDIT: just noticed that even though it looks like no battery OSX reports that power source IS BATTERY (in the OSX status top bar )

    It's like mpg for a car. It depends upon how you drive, the weather, the terrain. "7 hours" doesn't mean anything. Your mileage will vary. If I am not doing anything I see 13 hours. As soon as I start surfing or watching a video it changes. Stop obsessing.
