macbook pro wont charge
Bought my macbook pro in September of 2010 and just a few days before Christmas it stopped charging. So I bought a new charger and it still wont charge. It died so the battery indicator is blinking. I tried doing the smc reset thing (shift+control and option+power) but nothing happened. Any help before I give in to a trip to apple?
Try taking your battery out and getting the computer to turn on without it. There’s a good chance your battery has gone bad and you’ll have to get a new one. If you have the extended warrantee you’ll get it replaced no problem, pretty easy to get replaced. I need to get my laptop’s battery replaced actually, thanks for the reminder lol.
B- b- but Macs are infallible…
Arnt they.
any battery will fail, only a matter of time. Not specific to apple products.
Sitting over to the left of me is the 5 year old compaq 700c that i used to dj on, among being a general jobbing laptop, the battery is original in that wee feller. Only sign of wear is a very floppy left mouse key and discolouration of the mousepad.
Wintel gear is shit innit
Reet - back on topic, Sounds like a duff battery or duff charger port.
For a second there i thought you were going to say floppy disc. :eek:
Jesus Christ it ain’t that old!
Anyhow, what’s one of them

Even with AppleCare your battery is only covered for the 1st year, if you have AppleCare and the MacBook is over a year old you will have to pay for a new battery
You can try an SMC reset and PRAM reset (google them for your model)
Can you power it from the mains, as in, will it turn on if it is plugged in?
