Has anyone encountered this situation before? Any help is very much appreciated. I am pretty sure I shut down my laptop properly. I have done SMC resets before, and I know that the LED Indicator light of the charger should change had I done it successfully. I then turned my laptop off and tried to reset the SMC by holding down the left side shift control option and the power key, but to no avail. Using my charger on another MBP showed expected behaviors (orange for charging). At first I thought my charger was defective so I borrowed a charger but it still showed a green light. My laptop wasn't fully charged yet and my battery actually started to drain even on a green light. It charged for a while (orange light) but after a few minutes, it changed to green.
2011 macbook air charger not working pro#
Sorry to deliver the news, but the alternative to this diagnosis is that the cables or the new battery were bad and it will be costly to figure that out as well.I was using my Macbook Pro and I was letting it discharge to about 30% then I plugged it back in to charge. The likely cause is you need a new MagSafe power in board for the Air or a new logic board. Also, you probably needed a new battery too so that's out of the way now. So my Macbook is effectively a desktop computer right now (battery at 0 charge), although a bit more convenient than a desktop obviously. It still works to power the computer, but it will not actually charge the battery. The charger stopped working after just a year or so. The real key is if the new battery shows "check battery" status you would want to return that part if you're sure you didn't do the repair wrong (you'll risk being charged for the shipping and not get your money back if the part is good) but it's far more likely the fault is with the charging circuitry and power handling circuitry. I have a Macbook that I bought in summer 2007. The new battery should show clean in system information even if it won't charge due to other issues. Now you have to figure if the adapter is bad - you didn't explicitly say that, but it's probably not since you would report that the system is dead and won't power on ever again if you can't get some adapter to put charge back in the battery when the machine is off and sitting overnight.Īt this point, you still need a hardware repair.Ī repair shop might be able to tell if the battery needs replacing but since you did that - you either have a totally unlikely circumstance that the old battery failed in a non-common way and the new battery happens to have the same non-common failure mode. Let's assume your situation is different than all the rest - My MacBook Air won't charge - and it's not the adapter or the pins or something you can fix and identify without turning a screw or opening the Mac. Once you've reset the SMC once - that's out of the picture.
But I'd rather pursue more DIY options if they exist. Apple's next recommended step is to get the machine serviced. I suppose I could try using a different power adapter, but I don't have another on-hand with a compatible MagSafe adapter.
I've tried jiggling it when it is in the port no change. The MagSafe indicator light is still off with the new battery.But eventually, it will lose power from not charging, and I'll be back at Square One. When I unplug, the battery powers the system just fine.When the computer is on and plugged in, the system's power status says "Not charging.".I did so.Ĭoconut Battery likes the new battery, but it has the same issues: I tried multiple outlets nothing changed.Ĭoconut Battery gave a "check battery" status, indicating it needed to be replaced.I tried resetting the SMC nothing changed.The MagSafe indicator light would sometimes show a very faint green, but most of the time, it was completely off.My battery would not charge, and the computer would die instantly upon removing the MagSafe cable.The circumstances of my Macbook Air (late 2010 model) and its inability to charge the battery are a bit unique from the other cases I've read about on forums:
