The charger for my Macbook pro is not working.

For some unknown reason, the charger for my Macbook pro is not charging.  The green light that is at the connection does not turn on.  The outlet power source remains good.  Am I stuck having to buy another charger?

Try performing an SMC reset:

  • My charger for my MacBook Pro is not working

    The charger cord for my MacBook Pro is not working. This happened before but I do not remember what the tech guy had me do. It was a simple fix....

    If the SMC reset does not work check for contamination or stuck pins:

  • The sound on my macbook pro is not working

    The sound on my macbook pro is not working. When I increase the sound, the icon appears as if everything is working, but no sound comes from the speakers. Earphones don't work either. I have tried a PRAM reset but at times, this doesn't even work. It's really frustrating having to restart my computer every time I want the sound to work, and even when I do that, theres a 50 50 chance of it working again. It generally happens after my laptop goes to sleep and I wake it up. Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it or even know what caused it?
    There are a lot of discussions around the earphone jack but I have checked that. I've tried a PRAM reset which hasn't worked, and my sound output is set to Internal speakers.
    HELP!!

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

    Don't use any cleaning spray. Wipe with a moist but not wet microfiber cloth.

  • The sound on my Macbook Pro does not work.

    The sound on my Macbook Pro does not work.  When we press the volume buttons, the sound icon pops up, but the bar is full with a small "Does not work" circle below it, and nothing happens when I hit volume up or done.  I went into system preferences, but there aren't any options there that I can see to change it. 

    "Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any help for a MacBook Pro, other than indicating to call Apple Support" (sic).
    Au contraire. TS1574's title and affected products are thusly:
    "Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
    Products Affected Mac mini, MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac"
    As a result, the instructions of the article are relevant. To be sure, follow those steps, the last of which is to contact Apple.
    So, by way of reminder, here are the steps to troubleshoot the audio on your MacBook Pro. There is no red light, so the port is likely fine. Headphones work, so clearly your sound card is fine.
    1. Ensure an incorrect version of OS X is not installed. If one is, then reinstall or erase/install after backing up your data.
    2. Remove any external audio devices from USB, firewire, etc.
    3. Open Sys Prefs > Sound > Output
    If Internal Speakers is listed, select it and test again.
    If Digital Out is listed, confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
    If mute is selected, unselect it.
    If the volume slider is low, raise the volume.
    If the above simply doesn't fix it, the issue may be a corrupted plist. Apple Support might be able to help troubleshoot the issue further, per the last step of TS1574.
    I hope it gets resolved for you. Good luck.

  • One of the USB ports on MacBook Pro does not work.

    Hi,
    I purchased a MacBook Pro in Jan '11. Both the USB ports on the laptop were working fine. Recently, I have noticed, any external device connected to the USB port, towards the battery side does not recognize the connection.
    Any solutions ?. Is this defect covered under warranty ?.
    Regards
    Anil Madan

    Anil,
    Try resetting the SMC.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 

  • The volume on my Macbook Pro is not working ?

    I've checked the settings in System Preferences and it seems everything should be working with my volume. NO GO! Help please

    Is it not working across the board, or on very specific things (like You Tube videos)? The reason I ask is because there is a separate volume control on You Tube videos that must be turned up in order for you to have volume.
    I couldn't figure out why none of the You Tube videos I was attempting to play didn't have any sound until I discovered this....It's in the bottom left-hand corner of the You Tube screen.
    Just wanted to share!
    Cheers,

    The warranty is worldwide. You should not need your receipt, Apple will have a purchase record - or at least a manufacturing date record and you should not be even close to the end of the one year warranty.

    Here is YouTube's help page if you have no sound on YouTube videos:

    Guys, i am actually trying using a solution provided by the article shared by dominic23,
    It says "Another option is to get an ionizer to help the atmosphere in the workplace be more conductive and pull charges away from contact surfaces, including yourself."
    So in my home, we have such device that could clean the air using ion, and i am using it in my room...
    Result: BANG!!! The electric shock on my macbook has gone!! I don't really care about physics but somehow it works! You guys should give it a try.
    Thanks again dominic23
