  • Macbook Pro retina does not illuminate

    Hi all

    I have a 2015 13 "Macbook Pro, that will not start at all. Last night I came back after a day holiday and powered to the top of my Macbook for the first time in two weeks. The battery level was around 25%, so I plugged the magsafe and did some navigation / watching Youtube. I noticed the GET a little slow mac and a youtube video stutter a bit, but it was late so I was not too concerned and put the Mac to sleep mode by closing the lid.

    This morning, after waking up, I noticed that the magsafe light was still orange, which seemed strange to me as he did pay for one night for a good 10 hours. I opened the cover, but the mac does not wake up. I pressed the power button and the computer booted. At first, everything seemed OK but the computer seems slow and internet soon.

    As the bright light battery was still orange that I flew over the battery icon, which showed 100%. I unplugged the magsafe and he fell immediately to 0%, so I reconnected it. I went to make a diagnosis, however about 20-30 seconds later the computer shuts down.

    Since then, he failed to power to the top of all and nothing I have try works. I tried to hold the power button down, but nothing. There is no edge and the caps lock button is not illuminated, so I know that is not a problem of display.

    I left the magsafe plugged in for 4 hours, and it's still orange.

    I have reset the SMC. While this life Magsafe turns green for a few seconds, and then turn the orange back.

    I tried an another magsafe, which is the same, so I've reduced that as a problem.

    I spoke to Apple support, who say it could be the battery and take it to an Apple store. My most close is a 150 miles round trip, and there is no reserves for the next 8 days. I'm sure this will be a hardware problem, but everyone does not accept that it is likely to be the battery? I did have problems with the battery before it and the charge went really well. Would not the Mac boot always if there was a problem with the battery while it is still plugged into the mains?

    Any help or insight is greatly appreciated

  • MacBook Pro (2014) does not charge despite an orange light when plugged

    Hello

    So my 2 year old Macbook Pro (retina) does not load when it is plugged in - spite, projecting the orange light. I have a battery (20%) and it is reduced whenever I use it and will be soon drained.

    Some of the things I've tried

    -Reset SMC - tried but no change after

    -When I use the mac when it is plugged in the battery icon in the top bar done see the support - but there is no increase in % of the battery. Continuous use it starts to fall.

    -During use (and what battery is plugged) - I checked the report system (about this Mac section) - in the energy sector - it is said does not charge (despite being connected, the orange light and the symbol in the top bar)

    What do you think guys that it is? MLB? Battery?

    What I have to replace or can it be fixed?

    If you have the Apple store, take the machine evaluation.  There is no charge for this, but you need an appointment.   The first thing I would check would be the cable.  You have another machine to test this with.

  • My macbook pro battery will not hold a charge

    My macbook pro battery will not hold a charge. I took in an Apple reseller and claimed him install a new battery. He said that my battery was still good. I asked him to install a new battery just to have a brand new machine. With the new battery installed, the computer still will not hold a charge for very long. I got the Apple dealer and he ran several tests without conclusive results. I always have a laptop that will not hold a charge and must be connected to use for any period of time. Can anyone offer a solution? Thank you.

    After installing an update of the bios recommended on the hp website my dv6131od running xp pro sp3 will not load windows

    Update does not seem to have problems - failure, lack of time for flash, backup, etc.

    next steps?  is there a way to access the BIOS?

    There is a simple solution to this problem.  The HP Online Crash Analysis Team has finally responded to my email after 34 days.  I had given up hearing from them despite several requests to repeat.

    I had completely disassembled the laptop trying to find the bios setting the jumpers on the motherboard in response to an idea contained in one of the PM, I sent... all to nothing does not...

    OCAT told me to look in the BIOS under "system configuration" for the Native SATA support.  The last update of the BIOS resets this point 'activated', but that only works for Vista & Win 7.  This must be set to "disabled" for XP and previous operating system.

  • MacBook pro a key on the keyboard does not work

    Last day I was cleaning my keyboard (I do not used any water or liquid), and when I handed the keys, I found that my 'enter' key does not work.

    I think it's because that material because the key does not work even without the key cover. Is it possible that I have demaged some buses on the baseboard of the keyboard?

  • Bootcamp 6 on Macbook Pro 2015 does not work

    Hi all

    I just bought a 13 "Macbook Pro retina 2015 and I try to use bootcamp version 6 to partition the 512 GB SSD 2 x 250 GB drives and one for Macintosh HD for Windows 10 but bootcamp fails every time.

    I start the bootcamp assistant and the first screen's INTRODUCTION that gives just the info about backup etc.

    I then select continue and get a second screen asking for the path to the iso file of Windows and what size I want the partitions I divide also (250 GB to 250 GB for Windows and OSX.

    I then press install and it takes about 1.5 hours to partition the drive and download the Windows support files - SO FAR SO GOOD.

    Macbook Pro then restarts and that's it - I am left with a blank screen and all I can do is, turn off and on.

    When I look at the SSD then I see it has been partitioned to 250 GB for OSX and 250 GB for windows but while do I do?

    If I restart Boot Camp Assistant it gives me just a button to RESTORE the SSD drive in OSX partition

    I tried several times but just keep going in circles...

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you very much

    Mike

    1 do you still have the OSXRESERVED partition on your drive?

    2. what version of Windows you are trying to install?

  • MacBook Pro wifi hardware not installed after update of El Capitan

    Hello

    I connected my macbook this morning to find that I had a gray wifi symbol with an x through it saying ' wifi: no hardware installed '. I'm taking in the Apple Store to be looked at in a few days, but only I was wondering if anyone in this community has experienced a similar issue that has an easy solution so that I can return to the top and run. It worked all fine until this morning.

    Ive updated to El Capitan - 10.11.1

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch retina end 2012

    Thanks in advance

    This means that the two Wi - Fi drivers are damaged or that your wireless card has stopped working.

    A good way to find out what the problem is to start up in OS X Recovery in now pressed the command keys so much R during start up your Mac to the top. Once your Mac is turned on, look at the Wi - Fi icon in the upper right and see if you can choose any Wi - Fi network. If so, reinstall OS X.

    However, if you can not choose any network, it is probably a hardware problem, so you have to take your Mac to an Apple Retail Store or dealer to get the Wi - Fi card replaced.

  • MacBook pro screen does not light

A few days when I tried to turn on my computer, screen not turn on including the lamp to the rear logo. but I heard the startup sound with the keyboard backlight on.

    If you're lucky, the connection to the screen is not correctly connected or must be replaced.  If you are unlucky, the display needs to be replaced.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

  • MacBook Pro 2012 does not SSD

    Hello

    So a few months ago, I upgraded my MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid-2012, OS X 10.10.5) with a SSD Samsung 850 Evo. Things were much faster and the other Corsair CMSA16GX3M2A1600C11 Apple Mac 16 GB (2x8GB) was also nice.

    One day, the Macbook has no more SSD, start repair of OS X and reinstalling did not help. If at start up the Mac, then applications suddenly crash randomly.

    Strangely, exchanging for 500 GB disk drive factory solves all problems.

    In addition, I can boot OS X from the SSD via USB3, but internally it does not work.

    I tried different SSD from Apple, Sandisk and Samsung, which were to be properly formatted or have OS X installed, but the Macbook simply does not accept them and either shows a blank screen or screen issue/question mark. With a support boot utility disk sometimes recognize them and sometimes not. The internal SATA cable has also been replaced by about 5 different cables, but that has not solved the problem. Replace the RAM, unplug the various components such as Superdrive or Trackpad as well.

    I can use the Macbook Pro normally but being prevented from using a SSD internal is a serious drawback. My next plan is to try the drive Caddy + SSD boot drive solution but somehow I fear that it could also do not work.

    Wouldn't be a kind of failure of the Logicboard? I'm certainly not an expert, but don't really see any other reasons.

    Thanks in advance!

    any SATA enabled the logic board on a MacBook Pro after that 2007 should accept an SSD (I guess that ANY Board with SATA connectors actually are eligible for one SSD)

    You may have damaged something with the Commission or if you are using any 3rd party with the DSS software is might be incompatible.

    Readers work on other computers or is there no option to test this?

  • MacBook Pro 2008 does not start. WHY? (Fix included)

    I have an old soldier, a Macbook Pro in early 2008. Like many others with MacBook as old as mine, I had the problem of my Mac, no start, showing only a black screen when I lit. He came to the point that I roll the die, each time that I chose to shut down the computer, I was wondering if it would ever start again. After taking in to get fixed twice and he'd end up and die after a few weeks, I tried a quick (and free-_-) fix I could do at home. (Note this isn't my question again, because I want to help some people who have the same problem, I had). I found a (I hope I remember where) online and I still thank the poster that has name up to this day.

    The idea is the laptop overheating, refresh, then cross your fingers and hope that it starts. Here are the steps I followed:

    1. Remove the battery (if you can) and connect your Macbook.
    2. Find two pillows for "sandwich" of your Macbook with.
    3. Turn on the Macbook and put it on one of the UPSIDE-DOWN cushions. (This is critical!)
    4. Ask the second pillow placed on the computer (always upside down) and leave for an hour and a half, running. (It may help to cover pillows with more effective coverage trap heat).
    5. After that he did heating, place it in a room different upside DOWN and leave it for at least 8 hours. (Night works too).
    6. Turn UPSIDE down and pray that it starts. Repeat the operation if not... But if this is the case, you CAN use the computer right up. Just leave the upside when you have finished using it.

    WARNING! This Act of overheating probably detrimental to the health of your computer. My computer is running stronger and a little bit slower than before, but if it does not, what really does anyway? My point is, there is a risk that is innate to this process, although I've never had any real problems with it.

    Now for my question: WHY? Why the computer have this problem in the first place? Even if I found a solution, I would know exactly what I'm fixing. I was curious and were all that I could never find solutions, but no real explanations. If you have any ideas or knowledge in the field, I would greatly appreciate a response.

    In addition, if you have any questions about the fix, please file an issue. This post is also a way to help you guys as well.

    This particular type of MacBook frequently has graphic problems. This can be corrected (more or less) by "cooking" the logic board. What you are essentially a type of cooking with a mild detergent. And it has been done before!
