Do not charge the MacBook Air battery

My macbok Air shows the power is plugged in, but the battery is not charging. The battery status is normal. The adapter led is orange.  I have reset the smc, but it has not changed anything Suggestions?   I thought a new battery and power cord would solve the problem but it doesn't.  Thank you

Reset the SMC could solve the problem.

  • Safari does not not on the MacBook Air

    My father has a MacBook Air, (which I use sometimes when I'm not at my desk).

    Now when I use Safari (and this has always been a problem because he got) for some reason when I reopen it Safari opens the last page I visited.

    At first, I thought the setting in the Safari preferences where malfunctioning, however on further inspection they are correct and the same as my Mac mini to open with the start page.

    Someone now why safari behaves this way? It always opens the previous page when I want to open it with the start page, but the settings say that he should do.

    When you reopen Safari, hold down the SHIFT key and launch Safari.

    The windows of the last session will not be restored.

  • Best thing to do when the MacBook Air battery said "replace soon".

    I've had this for awhile now. When I click on my battery, it says "replace soon".

    What should I do about it? Replace the battery myself or send it? I don't have a warranty on it more.

    Is it to Apple to get it replaced. My Macbook Air came with the same message several months ago. I took a Genius Bar appointment, left for a few hours while I did some shopping and came back to pick it up. I checked it before I left, and everything was good to go since then.

    It was $ 136 with tax, but the peace of mind and knowing that my Mac is back in perfect condition, it was well worth it for me. My Mac is out of warranty for several years.

    Good luck

  • Research Notes does not not to the macbook air

    I just bought a new Macbook Air and transferred all my son of my previous Macbook Air and now when I have my research notes it does not find the notes even if they are there. In my previous Macbook Air, what I have, I can pick up my notes and he finds them, but my other don't. Is there a solution for this. It is very annoying to have to look at each note to find what I'm looking for. I have more than 200 notes. I have also noticed that if I do a backup or change in the note, then my search find? I do this to my 200 notes?

    Please rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now, there will be an indication that the indexing is in progress.

  • Video of the MacBook Air to accuse by unplugged (current running off battery)

    Hello. I have a Macbook Air from 2012. The Macbook works perfectly fine when it is plugged, but the minute I unplug the unit, some video that I might be streaming suddenly freezes, even if sometimes the audio is not yet. Weird. The battery works, even if it runs in less than an hour. It has a cycle of 657 counter. The battery health is diagnosed as being 'good '. Anyone know why this is happening and what I can do about it?

    Thank you.

    Apparently, the MacBook Air is electric rationing of the battery through the

    all of the GPU, CPU, free wireless internet, open, applications and requirements

    Mac OS x itself; so many invisible things are underway in the background.

    Have you looked into the specifications of profile of electrical system and battery

    where the status of the battery is spelled in milli-ampere-hour charge remaining

    and expected full load capacity?

    I imagine that the battery can be replaced; also if SSD drive

    is full of stored content, the effort it takes the system to find the space

    for swap files and read/write then in the storage disk, is your MB/Air tax.

    Maybe an upgrade of the hard drive (SSD) ability is something to check

    in (if it is possible to upgrade) or just be sure to not have much stored on board.

    A replacement may be obtained from the macsales, OWC, among others.

    Also make sure that the MagSafe connectors are clean and free of debris on both sides

    the AC adapter and the DC-in Board (on the computer).

  • Satellite A100 - will not charge the battery

    Hello

    I have ned to help. My Satellite A100 will not charge the battery. He works the power adaptor for the led indicates charging status, battery shows 1% of loading tatus information, but none does change - no loading any time. When disconnected everything just stops off like normal desktop.

    I've already put battery in and out, made upgrades to the antivir software, makes Toshiba controls, tests, but what ever he did did not any change. If there is no way for restoration of battery how to check what the problem is I have no second battery or AC I can always buy new batttery but I don't know if the old one is broken and weather new would work properly?

    Best regards
    pawelg

    Hi pawelg,

    I agree with the user above. The battery can be charged only up to 500 times, and after that, it must be replaced. I think it's the case now, I mean that everything works correctly on the AC adapter so I think that the battery must be the reason for this.

    By the way: you can buy a new battery to an authorized service provider. ;)

  • HP dv6 Envy: battery, do not charge, the light goes blue/red then off

    Slowly, the battery started not charging, the day before he arrived he was in charge, but that once plugged waiting a bit with it, or I have to turn it off and keep the adapter to plug again. In its sequel, the light is not on to signify the load and it does not charge. When the laptop is turned off and I plug in the power adapter, it goes to a blue light, red light, then in the same model, do not at all support. I wonder if there is a problem with the battery, solder or simply the motherboard itself. I tried a new power supply and took out the battery, when its plugged in without the battery, pressing the button power turn on turn on for a second, but it used entirely and the charging light will also turn off when it turns off, but immediately return to solid when its completely off with battery blue.

    Hi @ActingDemicky,

    Do you have completely replaced the power adapter, power cord and I tried to plug different?

  • Satellite A100 - 166 PSAA9E will not charge the battery

    Hello

    My laptop will not charge the battery.
    Although Windows Xp recognize the battery and says loading, the battery does not charge.
    I tried with a spare battery that I thought that the battery was faulty, with the same results.

    Strange thing is, when I turn off the laptop the power led remains lit and the blue, even without the power supply attached therefore discharge the battery.
    The battery led is still orange but not load!

    What is the problem with the laptop?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Generally, there are three possibilities;
    (1) the adapter is faulty
    (2) the battery is faulty
    (3) the logbooks electronic malfunctions (ESF)

    So now he of needed to check all these steps to find the fault.
    You said you've tried different batteries and AC adapter works too.
    So it is possible that there is something wrong with the electronic power supply

    In this case there is not much to do to contact the ASP in your country. Technicians should check the portable and should run diagnostics tests

    I recommend contacting the guys and ask for more details and manipulation still good luck and happy new year.

  • Satellite M70 do not charge the battery

    My satellite M71 do not charge the battery, not only when works now, but also when power is off. Do not charge batteries supplied with the adapter plugged.

    Hello

    I agree with the user above.
    This really looks like a malfunction of the battery. I put t know how old laptop is but generally cover the battery for about 1 year.

    You know that, after the words of 500 of loading and unloading procedures battery automatically loses performance and battery life battery decreases.
    It s nothing unusual.

    But if the battery is new, you must contact the ASP (partner) in your country.

  • LC - E6 quickly shows the flashing orange light. Will not charge the battery.

    The charger that comes with my new 5 d Mk III LC - E6 battery could not operate right out of the box. Would not load my new battery, nor any of my other Cannon batteries. Amber led flashes quickly.
    The old LC - E6 charger supplied with my EOS 7 d charging these batteries normally.
    I updated the scrapped charger delivered with my 5 d Mk III, and bought a new LC - E6 B & h. This unit has the same question. Sometimes it will load some of my batteries of Cannon, but more often the clear amber, after 20 seconds of just flashes quickly and will not charge the battery. My old charger LC - E6 Bill still all these batteries in normal mode.
    I use brand Canon LP - E6 batteries in these cameras.

    I followed the instructions found in the owner and guide online the site of Canon USA to charge the battery. The batteries are relatively new and show the good working condition on the information panel of the menu camera camera battery. These units (LC - E6) never worked properly.

    Tim,

    AC power removed normal home. All high-tech devices are functioning normally.

    As for replacement by Canon, I don't have the original invoices for this item, so I'm just going to buy another.

    Thanks again for your contribution.

    Laptop is about 2 years old.  Running on the Windows 8 origninal accompanying.  Had the same problem when it was purchased.  He sent to Acer.  Returned with no report / Details.  Has worked very well. Until recently.

    Noticed that seeing orange lights up when it feels like load and stops at 35% load.  Load is something dark, don't miss especially.

    Tried:

    Stick a PIN in the "battery reset" hole on the back

    Uninstalling the 'API Microsoft' battery

    Remove the battery to see if it'll work without it (it has an internal battery)

    Of course Acer won't help now since the warranty has expired.

    Please notify.  Thank you.

    Power plug has been checked, flinched 19V.

    Laptop briefly, then lost load capacity.  Checked power once again, 0V.

    Power adapter is bad.

Well, I have even if the battery is dead (it is already 5 years old) so I bought new. Well, the laptop will not charge too much new battery. When he consumed all the battery power the situation is the same as with the old. When I disconnect battery dock and plug AC the same problem is vithnessed... baterry icon flashes orange. AP power seems good however it provides compatible 19, 94V. What's wrong? Thanks, Ales

    Hello @AlesR ,

    To get your question more exposure I suggest you post in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do to commercial Forums.

    Even if it is a Commercial product, here is a link to to test the battery.

    Plug the power supply directly to a wall outlet works. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.

    Thank you.

    My MacBook Air (early 2014) have no audio input. I try to connect the audio output of my MacBook Air to the audio of my PowerBook G4, but it does detect any sounds when I play something on my MacBook Air. I tried the same thing with my iPhone 5 c and the PowerBook detects the sound of the iPhone. I know that there really large gap between the PowerBook G4 and MacBook Air but PowerBook should be able to detect the sound of the MacBook Air.
