The worst Apple service I had was through a 3rd party servicer. I've been a little annoyed about having power problems (or any for that matter) with my machine, but I've found Apple to be extremely good at service. Like I said, I've dealt with this kind of stuff a few times with my MacBook. They'll fix it up, given the age of that machine, you should have minimal hassle. This is where you arrange to go to an authorized Apple Service center (or the Apple Store nearest you). If it's getting near 300, then your battery is at its end of life and you should ask Apple for a replacement.įailing that stuff, I'd really suspect your motherboard to be the issue.
Click on your battery and check the charge cycle count.

Go in to the System Info app (linked to from About This Mac under the menu bar at the top). If you've been using that thing profound amounts, your battery may be pretty battered already (heh, almost a pun). I think it's unlikely to be your battery itself, but it could be. For example a MacBook Air brick isn't meant to source enough power for a 17" MacBook Pro. Be mindful about the power capacity of the brick you try too. Of course that's not a totally certain test, but if it's looking good, then you should ask Apple for a replacement power brick. Just plug in their power to your machine and see if that seems to cut it. You can easily enough test that, by taking your MacBook in to an Apple store (or some place that has them on display). While working, noticed the battery going down, not charging (no light on charger connector). I've used my (many years old now) MacBook a TON and I managed to wear out my power brick/adapter. Old charger was giving me trouble (mostly cable) for some time.
I've had the kind of behavior you've had before, actually a couple times. I won't be too surprised if you message back saying you've got this far without a change.

You'll have to boot in to OSX and use the Software Update utility to check. You should be certain no such updates exist. But, Apple will tell you to do that, so you may as well try it now.Īnother thing is there have been various firmware updates around power management for my MacBook, which is far older than yours. Now, that may help you, but for the various times I've been told to try that, I've never actually noticed doing that help me.
Should have to hold that button in for about 15 seconds. Then hold in the power button until you hear this horrible long beep sound, then let go of the power button. Using the built-in keyboard, press Shift-Control-Option on the left side of the keyboard, then. Plug in the MagSafe or USB-C power adapter to a power source and to your Mac. I would gladly appreciate it.If you contact Apple, the first thing they'll tell you to do is an SMC reset. Try performing an SMC reset and see if that helps. Whenever i use the trackpad it takes forever to move and starts to lag. It currently has 21% and whenever i turn on my macbook, it takes a long time to boot up. I left my new battery on his macbook to let it charge for a bit and placed it back on to mines now since it now had percentage. I also ended up opening my friends macbook pro and switched the battery with the one i just had purchased and also worked well on his macbook. The orange light would come up and would charge. However, i did manage to borrow a friends macbook pro and attempted to use both of my power adapters and both worked. I went ahead and bought a replacement battery, made sure it was the right one and everything and still nothing. Then i said to myself maybe its the battery because before this happened i would see a "replace soon" message whenever i would check my battery status. So, i bought another power adapter and still wouldnt charge, still with the same green light. i thought it was my charger because there was numerous times where i would have green light and i would just buy a replacement power adapter and that fixed the issue. has stopped charging & now has a green light.
