OS X :: Macbook Pro Charger Not Working?

May 4, 2009

I own a 5 month old macbook pro charger that as simply stopped working. The only thing i can think of is that it shorted out. I had noticed it getting unusually warm, more so than usual. My question is, will apple take it back as defective since i did nothing to it, or will i have to fork over the near 80 dollars for a new one?

MacBook :: Brand New Charger Not Working?

Sep 4, 2010

I just bought a brand new charger and it stopped working after about the third charging cycle. The light just simply doesn't go on and the computer doesn't read anything.

Weird thing though is that my old charger did the same thing at the end (although if you jiggled the connection it worked)? Could it be my computer? Although I tested the charger on another computer and it didn't work either. and a different charger on my computer worked.

Is this common for the new chargers that there are lemons once in a while?

Could it be because I left the plastic over the charger to prevent scratches?

Will apple exchange it for a new one or are they gonna give me a problem cause I really don't think this should have happened.

MacBook Pro :: My Charger Stopped Working

Mar 22, 2012

I plugged in the charger after not having my computer charging since the morning. My charger did not work and pluged it in to other sockets around the house. I then tried my sisters charger, which was working for her computer. The odd thing is that after I tested it on my computer it no longer worked for my sisters computer. This is so confusing and I don't want to pay $160 on two chargers.It is the L style charger and we have had both for about less than 6 months.

MacBook Pro :: Old MagSafe Charger Not Working?

May 10, 2012

Ok, so i have the newer magsafe charger (The one thats slim and silver), but its faulty at times, so i looked on amazon and bought the cheapest Macbook charger i could find, i found one of the older ones (the ones that look like a square and are white), so i bought it. The moment it got here, i plugged it in and connected it to my macbook. The light on the charger went really bright green, it was so bright it reflected over itself, i didn't really care, though. So then i unplugged it and moved to another room, but it stopped working. The newer type charger (the slim, silver one) still works fine, but is still faulty.

I've already reset the SMC a number of times, still no luck

MacBook Pro :: Charger Suddenly Stopped Working?

Jun 9, 2012

Today when I tried to connect my charger, the charging light suddenly went out after a few seconds. It's never done this before, and now my computer isn't charging. I looked at several problems that were similar to this, and I've tried everything short of replacing the charger. I followed the link to the article that explains what to do in this situation; I checked absolutely everything on my charger that it told me to, and cleaned off the area around the magnetic pins. I tested the charger in several different outlets, with no results. 

I also followed the steps to reset the SMC. That didn't work either. Something else that's important to note is that there is an area on my computer between the MagSafe power port and the Gigabit Ethernet port that is damaged. The plastic covering between these two ports had broken off about a week ago, and there is a prominent gap between them. But, my charger was still working just fine before today. Could this damage still have something to do with why my charger stopped working?

MacBook Pro :: Will Not Charge Even When Charger Is Plugged In And Working

Dec 4, 2014

I have been using my MacBook pro for a lot of film editing and motion graphics. Recently, I noticed that my battery kept going down, even when charging. I thought nothing on it and kept using it. After around 4 hours, the battery went from 90% to 23% WHILE plugged in. This got me nervous. When I plug in the MagSafe charger, the light comes on and I get the "charging" symbol in my toolbar. The light turns orange and then, after a few minutes, the power starts to go down instead of up. 

The laptop does charge, but only when I am running no application, when the screen is shut or when the laptop is powered off. Bear in mind that right now, I am on Firefox, that is the only application open, yet the charge is still going down. I assumed it was because I was using Premiere CS6, After Effects CS6 and Cinema4D, but now even when they are not open, the batter will not charge when I am using the laptop. 

I am currently only running Firefox and Finder. Now the laptop is charging as usual. However the second I open up Premiere, After Effects etc, it goes down.

MacBook Pro :: Unable To Charge Battery / Charger Not Working

Jun 15, 2008

I have a one week old 13" MBP which is being powered by the charger but is not charging. Was working fine the first couple of times but has only been used about three times and is kept nice and safely out of the way of a boisterous toddler so no chance of any damage. Is there anything i should have done and haven't (although can't for the life of me think what) or is it a trip back to the AS?

MacBook :: Charger Working Intermittently / LED Blinking 3x On Startup?

Mar 21, 2010

I acquired a Unibody MacBook that experienced a little water damage. The logic board was definitely shot, so I replaced that yesterday and initially the machine was working like a champ, save for a few issues:

1. The machine tries charging my battery, but eventually gives up and decides that there is no battery in the machine (there is a battery in there, and it shouldn't be dead yet, should it?)

2. I've been experiencing an issue in which the MacBook and charger aren't getting along. I've got two different chargers, both of which work on my pre-Unibody MBP consistently but sometimes I'll plug one into the MacBook and get no light, and in other cases I'll plug it in and get just a very faint green light. In either case, the machine won't start up. I usually tinker with the machine for a few minutes, taking the back plate off and checking connections, waiting a few minutes, and it's back up again.

3. Before the machine starts up, the LED blinks three times. I initially thought this was just a blink pattern to notify the user that the logic board doesn't have a serial number yet, but I've run the serializer and entered a SN in, and it still does that. Is this normal for these Macs?

I know that these MacBooks are a little more intricately tied to the battery than previous Macs. Does anyone think the above problems (at least 1 and 2) would be solved by a replacement battery? Or does it sound like something else is wrong (perhaps the DC in board)? I've never heard of anyone needing to replace a Magsafe DC in board (and from their low prices online, I'm led to believe that they rarely fail).

Is it better to keep the charger in after a completely charged or pull out the charger. Basically I'm wondering if the power is pulled from the UPS after the battery is completely charged or is it still constantly charging the battery.

Hardware :: Ibook G4 Charger Not Working

Jul 9, 2009

I got a 12" 1.2ghz ibook g4, macally charger just went south.I got about 2 hours of charge left before all hope is lost!I am currently on an AF base, I might be leaving on july 21st. I have a PO box(i think that makes a difference) so i need to make a quick decision.

Ibook G4 is aging, needs a ram and HD upgrade and a new DC in board (again) I want to get a macbook pro when 10.6 comes out and give this one to my sister. So now that i have a reason to buy off line, i could knock 2 birds out with 1 stone and buy the upgrades and charger at the same time. However, the cost of buying the upgrades and what not is about the same as buying a new PC netbook. I really only need internet though. Im a little reluctant to dump $200-$250 into this thing though. So i am trying to go cheap but reliable here. I heard the micro accessories one from ifixit it over heats and makes a humming sound.

I just had a macally charger and it just broke. I read on amazon.com that they changed the design so it works with the ibook but it wont last very long, maybe a few months. its also 40 watts.

The OWC one seems like an off brand macally charger.

There are two Newer technologies chargers that look the same but have different part numbers, not sure what that means.

Could one of you mac gurus point me in the right direction, away from the cheap net books? I just want a reliable charger. Ill pay a little more if I have to. I know the 65w chargers handle the load better, but do they hurt the batteries? I know charging some lithium batteries too fast is real bad.

Laptops :: G4 Ibook Charger Stopped Working

Feb 2, 2010

I have a 1.33 GHz PowerPC G4 (1.2) version 10.4.11 ibook that was purchased in May or June of 2005. Lately, out of the blue, the power chord has stopped working.
The light that indicates the computer is charging goes on for a second and then promptly turns off and stays off; the laptop is then running on battery power; it is almost dead.
When it tries to connect (before turning off) it makes a sound like a lightbulb that is flickering and trying not to die.

This could be an outlet problem, I suppose (I will have my dorm check on that), but think it might have gotten fried when I was home for christmas because our house has ancient outlets and I usually have to use the two prong adapter there.

PowerPC :: IBook G4 12 Inch Charger Stop Working

Dec 1, 2008

My iBook charger has stopped working, the iBook is well out of warranty by now, and i cant find any replacement chargers for it. Instead of just buying another one, will apple replace my current one? It was sparking on the cable that plugs into the computer and it looks like its been burnt, which is probobly why it doesn't work anymore, is this a defect with apples chargers and will they replace it even though my iBook is out of warranty?

Hardware :: Apple Battery Charger Or 3rd Party Battery Charger Bettter For The System

Aug 11, 2010

The Apple one looks tempting as it comes with 6 batteries and 29€ isn't too much, plus, as usual, it looks brilliant. I looked at some 3rd party chargers as well ranging from 20€ to 40€. None of them was stunning or special by any means. Cheaper ones usually came with two or four batteries and some came without batteries. I don't really need it for else than Magic Mouse, occasionally for something else too.
