MacBook :: It Won't Charge / What To Do?
Mar 21, 2009
It's still quite new. I got it in November. I gave it it's first full charge and it worked fine. The battery died once and since then it won't charge. I plug it in, the green light comes on, I can use the MacBook, but the battery won't charge. As soon as the charger is disconnected, the MacBook shuts off immediately.
What happened? I've tried multiple different outlets. Ones in my house, one in my friend's house, and right now I have it plugged in at Panera and it still isn't charging.

Just bought a new 15 inch retina MBP. My question is...should I immediately charge the battery or let it run to zero first and then charge it? Does it even matter?Â

The jack on my magsafe charger ripped off a few years ago and before that happened, it must have shorted something inside my macbook as it would not charge any battery afterwards with any new charger. The battery in the upper right corner showed up with an x, the light on the charger will go from a bright green to a dim green right when I put it in and since then the hard drive broke as well, which is why I haven't made much of an attempt to fix it. My question is, What's wrong inside the computer (i.e. logic board, battery connector) and what any of your opinions are. If I can fix it, what piece will I need to buy and would it be worth or should I just sell my macbook?

I just bought my MacBook Pro yesterday. And I plugged it in this morning to try and charge it. The battery indicator up in the menu read not charging. The light on the charge did show up though.

I've looked through some other discussions, but can't seem to find my problem. When i plug my Pro in, the green light comes up saying fully charged, however my onscreen icon stays at whatever percentage it was at when plugged in, with the fully charged icon appearing in the battery

I just set it up and been using it for about 10 mins. Should I stop and charge it to full? It's currently at 75% right now.

Does it matter if I'm charging my MBP even when it has full battery and I am currently using it? I.e. using the charger instead of using the battery? My friend did this with his laptop and when he after 1-2 years tried using the laptop without the charger he got like 30-60 minutes of battery time. I don't want this to happen to my MBP.

Our old battery said it was needing to be replaced and my dad went out and bought a new battery for our 15" MBP from 2008 - running SL. I've put it in, it works, I've plugged the power cord into it, and the little light that indicates it's charging doesn't turn on. I checked in the menu and it said the battery isn't charging.
I've already pulled it out and then put it back in, shutting down of course. And I just tried resetting the SMC which has done nothing. It's not under warranty. I've just put the old battery back in and it doesn't seem to be charging it either. I'd be curious if the power cord was faulty, but it's powering the MBP at the moment.

ijust calibrated my batttery and my charger light is green which signifies its not charging anymore..and the icon at the top of my screen says charged..BUT Coconut battery says my current battery charge is as follows:
Current Battery Charge: 5807 mAh
Maximum Battery Charge: 5853 mAh
@99%
Current Battery Capacity: 5853 mAh
Original Battery Capacity: 5770 mAh
@100%
Additional Info:
Battery-Loadcycles: 6
Age of Mac: 7weeks
Charger Connected: yes
Battery is charging: no
so my battery charge is stuck at 99% and its been plugged in for the past 3 hours, and its saying my current battery capacity is higher than my original battery capacity.. is that normal?.. i cant seem to get my battery to 100percent and its not charging..
here is a screenshot of coconutbattery after calibration, i just got my macbook last week..should i be worried about the battery at all?

1) When you first get your Macbook Pro, should you let the battery die out completely and then fully charge it? Or should I charge it fully first? Or what? I don't want to mess up the battery with the first charge.
2) Do you leave your Macbook plugged in while you sleep, are not using it, etc? Or is that bad for the battery?
3) I've heard somewhere that it's bad to shut your Macbook off when you go out/go to sleep. Would it be wiser to just set it to "sleep" and keep it plugged in or something?

My MacBook Pro's battery died yesterday, so like I always do, I put it in its charger. But for some reason, the LED light won't turn on.So therefore, my computer won't charge. I purchased my MacBook pro in July, so the battery shouldn't be replaced now And when I use my charger on my friends MacBook pro, it works fine.

The only method I have to charge my laptop on my boat is by a 115V outlet. Both the power converter for the Macbook and the wall socket work fine, and so does my battery, but I think that there may just not be enough power. Is there any way to keep charging my laptop? Possibly a product that will produce either enough amperage or voltage to continuously charge my laptop? I'm going to need to be out on my boat for continuous periods of time for a research project.

When the magsafe adapter is connected. Has anyone else got this problem. N.B. The charging icon in the top right hand corner only displays the words (Not Charging)Â I have been told by Apple Care to try a PRAM reset and a SMC reset, but the light on the mag safe never turns amber, just stay lit green.

My battery was low so I plugged it in but it went to sleep anyway and now won't charge even when plugged in, or turn on. I tried multiple outlets in the house, but nothing is lighting up.

About a year ago my MBP suddenly wouldn't turn on one day no matter what I tried, and it would not charge either. Every time I attempted to charge it, the white LED status light on the front right of the unit would gradually but quickly become brighter until instantly turning off while making a very strange chirping noise. 2 days later it began to charge and eventually turned on again and this was the only time it happened in the span of a few months so I didn't worry about it. It happened 2 or 3 more times but every time the problem would cease and the unit would power up again after at least 24 hours, after the battery was completely drained. The LEDs under the keyboard were also off when they should have been on sometimes and the LED status light would sometimes indicate that the unit was sleeping even though it was on and in use. Finally, I brought it into a genius bar to have them see what they could find but they had never heard of this problem and I could not replicate it. After looking at it some more, they decided it was likely the logic board and ended up simply replacing the logic board, which solved my problem for a while. Recently my MBP has started doing this again. It has done it twice and both times everything went back to normal after allowing enough time for the battery to drain.

Had it in my bag in sleep mode, I think it was reasonably well charged, pulled it out, no life, went to plug it in, no charge light indicator. Plugged it in for two hours, no change. Won't turn on. No signs of life. Any chance that it's a battery issue? Any hope I can recover the contents? Have an apple support phone appointment tomorrow.

As soon as I hit the power button the light on the charger turns green and my battery indicator says "Battery not charging". I tried taking the battery out and pressing the power button to restart the SMC but I'm not sure if it worked (is there any way to tell?).Â

I'm using a MacBook Pro 13' and it's one year old. I bought it last year March. But after I purchased it, few months later, my laptop started playing up. First, it's faulty hardware, and i sent my laptop in to get a new hardware. Not long later, the battery won't charge. Whenever I touch or drop the adapter or connecter when it's charging, my laptop will shut down itself, and resetting. (when i tried to switch on, the date has changed) And it won't charge anymore. I get frustrated when ever I ask for repair and it seems nothing happen in Apple Care, and they refuse to repair it.

My macbook refused to charge but it could still come on when plugged in, but at some point it didn't even come on so i figured there was something wrong with the charger. I changed the charger but still it wouldn't come on.

My cat knocked over a glass of vodka/sprite onto my 13" white MacBook (the older version, from 2007 I believe). I let it dry out and took the battery out and everything and let it sit for a few days. It turned on when plugged in but the battery was dead. I purchased a new battery to replace it thinking it was just that the battery got ruined. However, the new battery I purchased will also not charge. It came partially charged and it worked and my MacBook had power without the power cord... until the battery died, and now i cannot get it to charge back up at all. Is this something that can be fixed? If so can I do it on my own or would I need to bring it to a Mac store, and what would that cost me? My concern about taking it in to get fixed is what it would cost me and if it is worth it seeing as my MacBook is pretty old.
