When my battery is fully charged and i remove the power lead the computer shuts down

When my battery is fully charged and i remove the power lead the computer shuts down, evan when the power lights are fully green on the charger and the battery pack indercating lights.
Regards

I have exactly the same problem, which started again yesterday; coincidentally the day my warranty ran out!
The situation is complicated for me because I live in rural lincolnshire, but was in London all summer and had a new logic board replaced under warranty last month at the London- Stratford store.
It seems the £400 logic board replacement didn't fix it. When I try to get support, the website just laughs at me and holds out the cup for more money.  I had a chat with somebody in the store this evening and I've got to take it into a store AGAIN!
Perusal of the 'Support' pages turns up literally thousands of people who have this or similar faults, all the way back to 2006, and I've not seen anything yet indicating that Apple have got a grip of it.
I've been using Apple kit for 16 years now and I've never had any trouble until now, but this bloody laptop, which is no better than my iMac now for portability  has let me down badly several times in the last 6 weeks.
I'm really hacked off with this, get your **** together Apple!

    It may just be giving you false battery info. Unless it actually dies prematurely, Its just a software error. I would recommend restoring. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

  • I want to know what happens when the iPad battery gets fully charged and the charger is still connected

    When the battery gets fully charged, and the charger is still connected to the iPad, does the iPad use power from the battery or does it use the charger?

    Install Battery Doctor and see Battery Status or Charging

  • When my battery is fully charged it says only 5-6 hours left should it no be 7?

    i got my macbook pro a few days a go and when my battery was fully charged it says ther is only 5-6 hours left , is there a problem with my battery

    For starters, your battery will need to go through a few charge cycles before it reaches its full capacity.  That aside, most people won't hit 7 hours in normal use.  Apple (indeed, most computer manufacturers) tend to do their battery testing on very conservative settings (somewhat less than most people will use) so their reported battery run times are a "best case" scenario... not an average.
    The time remaining indicator is also only an estimate based on your current usage.  Your battery has hardware internally that reports the actual percentage of your charge remaining.  Your computer than "estimates" how much longer the charge will last.  It works sort of like burning gas in a car.  The more processor intensive the task (i.e. pushing the gas pedal further), the shorter your charge will last (i.e. the faster you'll burn through your gas).
    So, if your computer is just sitting there and you have absolutely nothing running and you have the display backlight turned way down, you may get an estimate of five or six hours... but if you start to watch a flash video or perform some processor intensive task, the estimated time remaining can change so something like three hours almost instantly.  It's basically calculating your remaining time on how you're using your computer "now" and that estimate will always update in real time based on your use.
    If you want to get a better idea of how your battery is discharging, you can click on the battery icon and have the display show the percentage remaining vs. the time remaining.  When you display the percentage, you will get the actual percentage which will not fluctuate like the time remaining may.

  • How do I know when my battery is fully charged?

    When I plug in my Nano I get the do not disconnect screen, and the little battery icon in the upper right corner is green with a plug in it.
    At one time I remember seeing a big icon that was fully charged, but I don't remember how that came to be.

  • Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally

    Sometimes my iPad1 locks up and has the flat battery graphic after charging all night, but will not work until you disconnect the charger, then it reboots and the battery is fully charged and works normally.
    It has only happened for the last month or so
    Also, sometimes it drops out of apps, ie facebook etc. just like you have hit the stop button

    Who replaced the battery? If it wasn't Apple the replacement is probably bad also. Either that, or the logic board is bad.

    Sounds like Word is corrupt, I would uninstall the app and then reinstall. Also there is a MS Office for Mac forum,  you can find it at: Office for Mac Product Forums

  • When I plug in an USB to the usb port my computer shuts down

    I bought my macbook air a couple months ago and when I plug in the usb into the usb port my computer shuts down. I dont know why this happens, but is not always, just sometimes.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Have you tried plugging the flash drive into a different Mac to see if it works? The Air shouldn't have any problem with it, I use a couple of flash drives in mine, although I don't have a pq1. Did you try both USB ports on the Air? Do you have another flash drive you can test in the Air, or a different USB device, like a hard drive or printer?
    The only thing I can think of is either a bad flash drive, or a bad USB port on the Air. Sorry, can't be more help than that.

    My machine was patched to date 10.x.x.  I was lucky to get an internet connection and I selected the option to re-download Lion... its curruently being downloaded.  What if that doesn't work?
    Any thougths would be appreciated.

    And you have a workstation? not a notebook. 
    Usually a driver or hardware, nothing that Disk utility will fix.

  • When battery is fully charged, screen says to disconnect power.  User guide makes no note of this requirement...which is right?

    When battery is fully charged on MiFi6620L, screen says connect power.  User guide does not indicate this is necessary.  Which is the better way.  We always use the MiFi where we have power available.

    Thank you for the response.  The MiFi works off the battery just fine.  Since the unit is our only Internet connection, we have it powered up all day so it seemed to make more sense to just leave it connected to the power source.  The unit is turned off at night, but usually not disconnected from the power supply.  That is what we did with our original unit and it seemed to be OK.
