MacBook Air :: Battery Cannot Be Charged But Works On Power Adapter
Jun 17, 2014
It was working OK. I have put it aside for about 1 month during the holiday. Now, it can not be charged. It works on power adaper, the plug has bright green LED on, but always 0% battery. Looks like the power adapter is still working OK, battery issue?
My MBP13 (Late 2011) with Lion 10.7.4 suddenly stopped charging...battery level continued to come down when power adapetr is connected...I am able to check MagSafe is working fine in both of its ends..but the system is not charging and there is not LED on when I connect the adapter to system...tried all the possible ways to fix it including SMC reset,,(but i am not sure if SMC reset worked in this case!!).
My MacBook Air 2011 can't be charged by MagSafe 45W power adapter after I charge it with 60W adapter, It happen few time, check the the system status, shows the AC charger not connected, I tried to plug and unplug serveral times, and keep the mag connector pluged for awhile, there's no light at all
This morning, my macbook pro laptop won't turn on even though the battery is charged and power cord is working. it worked fine last night. what can i do?
Details: In short, with the power adapter plugged in, my MBP would still show as "Battery Not Charging". The light on the adapter would stay green and not change to orange. While it wouldn't recharge the battery, it did provide enough "juice" for the MBP to run off of.Some of the posts on this forum pointed to this being a faulty battery and to take it into the Apple store. In doing so, the helpful Genius diagnosed the problem as the Power Adapter being faulty, not the Battery.
Resolution: They provided me with a brand new power adapter right out of the box. In and out of the store within 15 mins.
Recently bought a mac air and while trying to charge it, the battery sign says not charging but the computer is running on ac. I tried another adapter and it works. Does that mean my adapter is defective?
My battery just went down to 7 percent charge even though it had been connected to the power adapter for quite some time. At least a few days. I didn't notice that the battery wasn't charging. Now it says it is charging again, but every once in a while I notice it has gone to not charging.Â
I recently discovered my computer had died while it was sleeping. I tried charging it but am recieving the "Battery not charging, power source: power adapter" status.My power cord light is green, always. and the computer dies instantly when I remove the magsafe.
I've tried the "remove the battery, press the power button, plug in the magsafe" troubleshooting process, but it doesn't work.I've noticed that even with the battery out, the charger reads a green light.I've tried several outlets with the same results.Here are my battery statsÂ

I recently bought a Macbook Air and needed some tips to keep it's battery healthy. Now I know that the battery has limited cycles before it goes down to less than 80% charge capacity. But if I keep my adapted connected as much time as possible, to reduce the number of those cycle counts, will it harm it battery? What is best way to keep the battery running healthy for long time - charging it once a day or using it with adapted connected most of the times?
Info: MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
The battery don't charge and the power adapter light stays green, I didn't noticed it before the battery was empty. I have had problems with the adapter before and just reconnected the power a couple of times and it starts to charge again and the light turns orange but if I touch the adapter now the computer shuts down.
I'm not sure if this is SL related, but I get the service battery warning when I click on the battery status. iStat reports it at 62% health. Rev B 1.6 just 6months old. Should I bring it to apple or is it just a bug of SL?
I have just completed rescuing a water damaged MB C2D which was originally a 2.16 and is now a 1.83. Fun project for a cold Sunday afternoon. 5 hrs I have one issue with the MB and that is the charging of the battery. The battery icon sometimes shows 'no battery' or if it shows a battery is recognized, it isn't charging. The LED on the mag-safe charger is always green. The battery is from the water damaged 2.16 and my thinking is that it may have suffered damage from being exposed to water. Original owner left the MB in the backyard and it started to rain!
I just got my macbook 2.4 a week ago and the battery will now only charge to 99%.
What is the best way to use it to keep the battery in good condition. I am normally near a power source but I read that apple do not advise to use the macbook plugged in so that what I have been doing.
been using my mba for a few weeks now and i noticed that even when fully charged and still pulled into the charged the battery percentage still says 99% i have yet to see it reach and stay at 100% while being plugged in. is this normal? i am on my 5th cycle if that matters.
My MacBook, "2 days old", from when I purchased it at the apple store says it is fully charged at 99% battery. I just re calibrated the battery last boot. Is this normal?
I just want to say thanks apple for being a piece of **** machine. I have the first macbook 1.83 ghZ 2gb (that I bought from crucial) intel core duo. The problems I have had:-Battery not charging (70? replacement because I had no more warranty)-Burnt and melted charger (also expensive)-And now the problem is unknown all I know it will not start.-Faulty Macbook Air -After the second Macbook Air the charger would not work.I mean you would think that so much money for slow computers would get you reliabilit
I've heard that if I don't disconnect the charger after my macbook is fully charged then the battery life and performance will get reduced and will be weaker.
I have a macbook pro. My machine won't wake up at all. Battery is being charged on regular basis. I have tired to hard boot but all i hear is sound of machine booting up and shutting down. Â Is there ant possible way I can get my display back on my machine? When i close the lid, the indictor light is blinking slowly but as soon as i open the lid cover screen is always black. For last 5Â days I have tired to discharge the battery and charge again, attached a wired mouse to see if it might wake up my machine but with no luck. Â
When I bought the mac book pro I was impressed withthe 7 hours battery life, however I have found that when fully charged mine only has 3hours. Is this a fault or did I miss some kind of disclaimer?
"Does it harm the battery or reduce battery life, to use the AC adaptor for extended periods while the battery is fully charged?"Someone answered, "I would have to disagree with the others who say that it hurts your battery & reduces battery life by keeping your AC adapter plugged in with a full battery.I have done extensive research and asked many apple employees and have always come to the same conclusion. They all say to keep your laptop plugged into an power supply whenever possible. Only use your battery if you have to, in those times when you are not near a power supply.
finally got my new aluminium macbook and i was just wondering, how long does everybody else get out of their batteries when fully charged, out of a full charge it tells me im getting around 4 hours and but think this is a little short
Ever since owning the uMBP, I have kept the battery charged and monthly calibrate it to maintain a 100% battery health. But through this, the laptop limits its portability and it is sometimes extremely tedious to find a plug in order to use it. My question is: Is it really worth it to keep a good battery that will last overtime, or would you prefer simply purchasing a new battery when your old one dies? Also, how big of a difference does a healthy battery compare to a battery put through regular use?
So I charged my battery to 100% and then unplugged it from the charger. Thats when the battery dipped to 97% instantaneously. It was very odd and somewhat scary. I just bought this MBP 2 days ago! Anything i might be missing? Is it supposed to do that?
I have a MacBook Pro. Keeps completely shutting down all the time when its fully charged and at random times when it is at 65% for example. Do I need to get a battery replacement? Or do I have a virus?
