Replaced battery and.....

I have a 3rd gen iPod and over the last little while it had stopped being able to have more than about 5 minutes of charge. So I decided to order a replacement kit and replace the battery. So I open it up, replace the battery, and when I close it back up and turn it on, all I see is the apple on the screen. I've tried resetting it to no success, and when I plug it into my computer, it doesn't recognize it. I'm not sure if I messed something up when I replaced the battery or if something else is going on. Thanks for all your help

Since you do not have an iPod Classic (they've only been out since September 2007) you might want to try posting here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=829

Doesn't recognize the power adapter. Have replaced battery and PRAM.

Howdy,
I'm having a devil of a time with my Powerbook. It won't recognize a power adapter.
It won't charge my battery.
Won't run when plugged into the power adapter.
The only way it works is for me to charge my battery in my girlfriend's Powerbook and then sprint through any work I try to get done.
I've replaced the PRAM with twice. (one i bought and the other I took from my girlfriend's which I 100% know to work) It didn't make a difference.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
There's only 4 components in the charging circuit: power adapter, DC-in card, battery, and logic board. Do you know for a fact that your power adapter is working? If yes, then not running on the power adapter says either the DC-in card is bad (the card that has the jacks on the left side of the computer) or it's a logic board issue. Is the female jack where you plug the power adapter in visibly damaged, loose, or the case around the socket damaged? If the socket is wiggly loose, likely a new DC-in card is in order. Does the power adapter light up at all when you plug it in?
We had a similar, but not exact, situation recently on one of our Powerbooks, and ended up taking it to the Apple store, where they sent it to the Apple depot for repair. They replaced the logic board and put a new battery in. The Depot service returns the machine with anything needing repair, repaired. If everything is in good physical order, ie the case isn't damaged, it costs around $325, which is less than getting a new logic board put in at the store. If the case is damaged, a trip to the Apple depot costs more. A new DC-in card card + installation by Apple runs around $130, give or take. Used DC-in cards run around $75-$95 if you want to install it yourself.

I replaced battery and now will only turn on when plugged into a charger..

I replaced my batter on my iphone 3gs and then it will only turn on when i connect it to a power source.
After it has turned on you can take it off charge and it will stay on...
Help please!! thanks

Either you got a bad battery, didn't install it correctly, did some other damage while installing, or haven't let it charge enough yet. There's really nothing we can do to help you with any of those scenarios.
Regards.

Have you tried clicking on the word "Store" in the header bar on this web site? or maybe contacting Apple or stopping into your local Apple Store?
Or maybe using google?
We have no idea what model MacBook you have...

Bought a NuPower replacement battery, but can't get my MacBook to see it.

Hi Everyone!
Bought a NuPower replacement battery and installed it. Rebooted and the fans are running at full tilt. Did a SMC reset and a PRAM zap. Shut down. Restarted and the battery icon still has an X in it (no batteries available). Fans are running fast as well (again).
Repeated this a few times, but still can't get the MacBook to see it.

Having problems as well.
It has been less then 48 hours that I have installed the new battery and it's still not charging. It says that I has 51% of charge, but it has not pass that number in the past 48 hours. I have reset the PRAM and SMC and no change.

Need a replacement battery

Hello,
I have a macbook unibody aluminum from late 2008. My battery is in a poor state, lasts about an hour and a half tops and is in a "replace soon" condition. I was wondering where I could purchase a replacement battery and how much that would cost me. I seem to have trouble to find these spare parts.
I would be thankful to anyone who is willing to guide me. I am not sure yet if I am willing to replace the battery, it will strongly depend on the prices.
Thank you,
Esujko

If you want to replace your battery you can get one fairly cheap on eBay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=aluminum+macbook++battery+A1280&_sacat=0&_od kw=aluminum+macbook++battery+A1278&_sop=12&_osacat=0
Or for $129 from Apple http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB771LL/A/rechargeable-battery-13-inch-macbook -aluminum
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)
Removing the battery:
Shut down the computer. Disconnect any cords connected to the computer.
Turn the computer over.
Locate the access door latch.
Push down to release the latch, this sets it in the open position, and remove the access door that covers the battery.
With the latch still in its open position, gently pull up on the battery tab to remove the battery.
Note: The latch must be in its released, open position to remove or replace the battery and access door.
Installing the battery:
To replace the battery, make sure the latch is in its open position.
Hold the battery at an angle and slide the lipped edge of the battery below the brackets on the outside edge of the battery bay. Gently press the battery down.
To replace the access door:
Line the access door up with the bottom case and the tabs in the battery bay.
Lower the access door into place.
Make sure it is level with the bottom case of your MacBook.
Press the latch into place, so it is in the closed position.

Replacement battery scheme that makes sense?

I need a new battery for my 8GB and I'm wondering what people are doing about this.
I asked a guy at the Mac store about getting a replacement battery and his answer didn't make any sense whatsoever so I have no memory of it.
Has anyone used any of the aftermarket options for battery replacement? There's no way I'm going to ship my phone or leave it anywhere for this. I need an option that I can carry out myself.

Apple will replace the battery while you wait. It only takes them less than five minutes to do it. When my 2G needs a new battery, I'm taking it to a local authorized repair shop that installs batteries while you wait.
The 2G is still an excellent phone. I recently reactivated it (I have my 3GS activated as well) because I still love using it....plus I am instantly eligible for a subsidized upgrade on this line the minute I reactivated it Good times.

Purchasing replacement battery

scrolling across the battery status, the message "irreparable damage to the battery has been detected." i do not qualifiy for the battery recall so i guess i will need to buy a new one. i need one immediately as i will be traveling and am preparing a presentation. i have read on this forum that some replacement batteries cause the T60 to freeze. this brings me to my question, where does one buy a reliable battery on short notice?? i am in pittsburgh, pa.
thank you in advance.

Run ThinkVantage System Update. The latest version will try to sell you a replacement battery and memory upgrades while you're waiting for any updates to download. There's even a "buy now" button to click on.
I haven't ever tried this yet, so can't comment on the "short notice" aspect. Perhaps someone else can comment.

My battery recall replacement battery just died :(

My nearly-three-years-old iBook G4 had a battery that was part of the infamous bad batch that had to be recalled so dutifully I entered my details to the recall page got my replacement battery and sent off the might-potentially-explode-at-any-time unit in the UPS box to be disposed of by Apple. This was a year ago or so I can't really remember.
Yesterday I unplugged my iBook and took it downstairs to copy some files over to my external hard drive, plugged in the firewire cable, started copying and then - foomp - my iBook just switches off. Odd thing to happen I thought - not so odd more oh-god-no! was that it wouldn't switch back on.
After pressing and holding the power button and removing and replacing the battery a few times I get a bit scared. My white plastic wonder is dead! I take out the battery one more time and press the button to give a charge status and it gives no lights! Not even the one green blink for 'please charge me now I'm thirsty!'.
I get the power adaptor and plug it in to the wall and the other end into my iBook (no battery inserted yet) - green ring lights up - press the power button and I get the reassuring chime! Yay! iBook lives again!
When I finally get booted into OS X I plop the battery back in the power plug light turns orange and the menu bar shows 'Charging..." and the battery shows 0%?
Zero percent? How come? My iBook stays plugged in the vast amount of time fully charged up and ready to go, every now and then going cable free to be my internet browser while I watch TV in the living room.
But after some time the menu bar still show 'Charging..." and "0%"?
I leave my iBook there for some time more, the power plug still glowing orange, before I check the underside and the battery is cold (far colder than the rest of the now mildly warm iBook), so definitely not about to explode. Good news.
I try all the usual tricks like resetting the PMU and PRAM and NVRAM and permissions etc. etc. but still "Charging..." and "0%".
My other battery (a spare I bought a few months after my iBook) works fines and charges lovely so my iBook isn't to blame.
Here's what I need to know - is this battery a goner? Can I send it to Apple to be repaired in some way (I doubt I'll be able to get a warrantee replacement out of this I'm fairly sure coverage is out) or do I have to go the whole hog and spend £90 on a new battery?
iBook 12" 1.2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I imagine you have already checked to see that your replacement battery wasn't also recalled. But you might check and be sure how long ago you got it and how long the warranty is--very possibly it might still be under warranty. I think you can find all this out by calling the Apple store, as they can look up your account. They might also be able to tell you how to report this to Apple, as it might be indicative of another battery problem that they may not know about yet. I think these batteries are actually manufactured by Sony and others, and if there is a defect, the manufacturer--and not Apple--will bear the cost of repair or replacement. So Apple might be willing to help you here. It's at least worth a shot. Apple likes to have happy customers.
Good luck!

I got a replacement battery, reset the SMC, and my computer will still turn off unexpectedly.

Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro, 2ghz iz, C0*****F8V.
My original battery wore down to the point where it would not be recognized as available and the computer couldn't power on without shutting down in a few minutes. I ordered a replacement battery, certified Apple genuine, but after 3 days it reached about half charge and the computer died, not turning back on without the adapter. When it did reboot the battery was at 0% and not charging, and the computer was incredibly slow and laggy.
I refunded and returned this battery and got a new one. I've had it installed about 2 days and the computer will still turn off if not plugged in at about 80-85%. I have reset my SMC multiple times and my PRAM as well. coconutBattery says nothing is wrong with the battery.
What can I do? I'm a freelance video editor and this is basically calling me out sick from work for a week now.
Thanks!

upon the extended test.
Do these codes refer strictly to the battery, or to possibly other components that interact with it?
I can not give you a definitive answer to that. The 'x's' which I have marked should be letters. If so, could you provide them and that may give us a clue:
If that is actually what was generated by the AHT, then I am a bit surprised.
At any rate, the bottom line is that the MBP does not like your battery even though the output information that you provided does not indicate anything adverse. An Apple battery should correct your problem, I would think, but there is an alternative that I came across yesterday that you might consider. OWC. a Mac oriented vendor, is now selling replacement batteries for MBPs.

Based on the reputation of the company, I personally would be willing to try their non-Apple branded replacement. I have dealt with them a fair amount, so my statement is from experience. Note that is has a 1 year guarantee as do the Apple batteries. ( I will need a replacement for my 2010 MBP and I will probably purchase it from them)
Ciao.

My computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings and even went to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple

my computer has been seen at Genius bar 6 times for freezing up, reloaded all original settings, all of their diagnostics, and they even sent it to the apple shop where they replaced the battery and logic board. Still freezes after I try to reload iTunes stuff and app stuff from apple, especially iPhoto which is seems to refuse to load and then begins freezing up all over again. Anyone else have this problem. Other than this, I have had absolutely no problems with this computer. Now, it's a file of junk.

Hi Ronald ...
Have you checked lately to see how much free space there is on the disk? Especially since iPhoto freezes at launch ...
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
And make sure the OS X software is up to date.
Click the Apple  top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click: Software Update
If you have anti virus software installed or are using third party Mac cleaning utiliites, that may be part and parcel of the your problems.

The Battery in my laptop has been replaced twice and this is the third time the battery has swollen up.
Since the first time it was swollen I have asked the reason but Apple has not come up with a reason and just replaced it.
Second time also the service centre replaced the battery but were unable to give me a reason.
I had asked them to replace the laptop as this has been happening repeatedly and seems to be something with the laptop
otherwise why should every battery they put swell ?
This is the third time this has happened. And now they refuse to replace the battery or the laptop also.
What is the solution?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and press the problem. Elevate to store manager if necessary. Maybe the charging circuits are defective resulting in overcharging which is causing the battery problem.

If you bought the iPhone from an authorized store/vendor, you should have taken the iPhone to them or any other Apple Store for evaluation under warranty.
Once it has been opened by non-Apple entity, Apple will not do anything for this.
