Unibody Macbook late 2008 not charging - are my Stats of battery OK?

Poster for the first time. Fortunately, my seven-year Macbook rarely has problems. However, now, I fear the worst.

My battery will not charge. If I plug the charger in, I get no green light. He used to turn on intermittently, but now nothing. I tried to reset the SMC, but in vain. I still don't know if it's a problem with the battery, the charger or the port. The battery is non-official replacement material. I pasted the relevant details of 'about this Mac' below.

Can we see based on the below if I have battery issues?

  • MacBook Pro does not charge

    I feel that this question is asked a million times, but I'd like to walk you guys through my situation.

    Retina Macbook Pro 2013 (out of warranty of course) in excellent condition. Fully updated software.

    A year ago, I had a problem with intermittent loading. Of course, I went online and followed the instructions on resetting the SMC. Sometimes it would work, other times not. Sometimes the software updates would trigger the loader to activate when the system is restarted. I would like to try various outlets around the House with none of them work. Is my next laptop Apple certified tech and is it charged out of their fine magsafe charger. I thought, cool, I'll buy a new charger. I understand House and it does not load. This process is repeated for a year. I could get the new charger or one laptop comes with to work. After a time I kind of nailed what I could warm up the bricks of charger with the warmth of the body and get them to come. Kind of weird but it worked... sometimes. If fast-forward a couple of weeks. I could not the computer to load at all. I took a day and I have tried everything in the book:

    • Resetting the SMC
    • Try the different points of sale
    • Warming of the charger
    • Update the system software
    • Leaving the charger unplugged for hours and try again (it of in case of dirty power coming out walls and locks the charger?)

    So I took it to my local tech again and it started to load automatically off not only their Chargers, but both of my friends... He performs a reset SMC, talking about me on the House of tension circuits and sends me on my way, pretty confusing. I get it home and charge the battery to 100%, but two weeks later here I am again with a Macbook Pro which does not load... This time I even tried to load out of a UPS System.

    I consider myself very savvy computer, especially with the Mac. I have a decent background in electrical systems of the classes I took in high school and college. I read the manuals, I do my homework, I take excellent care of my devices. But honestly, *...

    Any ideas would be appreciated. I'll take in addition to anyway. My local tech makes an appointment and I can't get an appointment of bar genius until next week. I have a laptop dead at this time.

    I do my homework,

    Certainly, you made and excluded from all the obvious concerns besides a few non-obvious. The only remaining uncertainty, I can suggest is your domestic food, since your Mac seems to load very well everywhere else. Power of the Mac adapter intelligently will close if it detects bad quality. Other than to call it 'noise' Apple is characteristically silent when it comes to debate just what are the parameters it uses to accomplish this.

    Most inverters do much through food. An alternative is to use a 'real online' or 'double conversion online' UPS, which are more expensive because they are still deriving their battery power, thus isolating their input and output power. Another esoteric alternative that I don't necessarily recommend is to use a ferroresonnant transformer. They are inherently inefficient, but concretely achieve isolation even.

    My battery status shows the service battery. I have reset the alert status about 6 months ago, but he will not be reset again. Thinking I need a new battery Apple!

    Batteries are no longer available on the Apple online store but can be at your nearest Apple Retail Store, you must check with your store. A better option is probably buy one yourself and replace it. Buy a quality like this http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple_laptop/batteries/MacBook_13_Unibody battery

    Avoid imitations cheap as those who are sold on auction sites.

  • "Plugged in, not charging", but have a blue battery light

    I have a gateway NV54 as tracks of Win 7 64 bit. I recently had my battery icon display: plugged in, does not support. When I unplug the AC adapter, the computer turns off. Both power and battery light are blue indicating full charge/power, but the battery icon on my screen remains frozen at 14% and says: plugged in, does not support. I tried power off, remove the battery, etc. Did not work. Tried to disable the method battery Microsoft ACPI compatible control others suggest, did not work. I tried to download the BIOS from Gateway drivers, didn't work. This means there is a problem with the battery need to be replaced?

    This has been a problem for the last two days. There is no change made to my computer that I can remember. In the bottom of my screen battery icon has fallen of "plugged in not 14% supported" 4% now. Thanks for trying to help. I guess I'll have to buy a new battery. :-/

  • I can transplant my early 2011 2.7 GHz 13 "MacBook Pro hard drive into my late 2008 MacBook 5.1?

    The battery on my early 2011 2.7 GHz 13 '' MacBook Pro just exploded, almost destroying the machine. As I need to replace the battery and the trackpad, I guess that's maybe a good time to upgrade to an SSD, leaving me with the old 500 GB 5400 RPM hard drive Serial ATA to play with. This hd currently has Yosemite and all my essential programs installed on it. I also saved it on an external drive via Time Machine.

    Meanwhile, I have a MacBook late 2008 5.1 I want to migrate everything to, however the HD is only 320 GB, resulting in errors when trying to make an update of Time Machine.

    Can I pop the hard drive of the 2011 MBP in my MacBook late 2008 5.1? Is the material compatible? The OS sees it's a different system at startup and make the necessary adjustments (No firewire, there less RAM, etc.)?

    If not, how can I move my Applications without moving on the entire hard drive? Or could I format the hard drive to 500 GB and then run the Time Machine backup? It would even work?

    A lot of variables here. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    I forgot to mention that the MacBook 5.1 is 2.4 GHz.

  • HP ENVY notebook: battery not charging!

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP ENVY laptop, and I've updated my windows edition to Windows 10.

    2 weeks ago, I noticed that my battery no longer works. It does not load: its says "plugged in, load" but its not charging.

    now my battery is empty, (say 3%) and my laptop 'nine', which isn't that 2 months, does not come on unless it is plugged.

    You have a solution to my problem?

    PS: I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers of the battery from the Device Manager, but nothing happened!

    Is it a windows update problem or a battery problem, although my laptop has only 2 months?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Hi there @Rodgee,

    Welcome to the HP support community where you can ask questions, find solutions and get help from others in the community! I wanted to join you and help! I understand that your battery will not charge on your HP ENVY laptop PC. You mentioned you tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and that you are not sure if this is a problem with the battery of Windows updates.

    Please make sure that the AC adapter cable is not plugged into a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source. It should be directly into a wall outlet.

    There are a couple of documents that you can use to try to understand where is the problem. The first one I would say is the document of the battery is not Notebook Power or hold a Charge . If your laptop battery will not hold a charge, you better follow the instructions in this document step by step to fix the battery and see if it needs to be replaced.

    You can also use the document test and calibration of the battery (Windows 8) . This will help you determine the status of your battery.

    Have you tried to use the HP Support Assistant to download drivers and updates? Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it. Simply download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that needs updating.

    This answer doesn't solve your problem or answer your question? If so, please share the good news! Inform others that this answer was helpful by clicking on the button accept as a Solution . You can also show your appreciation by clicking thumbs-up.

    If you need assistance, I would be more than happy to continue to help you. Please re-post with the troubleshooting results and include your model number (How can I find my model number or product number?).

    Thank you!

    Have a great day!

  • My MacBook Pro will not turned off properly

    Hello.

    I had problems with my MacBook Pro running El Capitan for a few months now that completely stops.

    When I stopped my machine it starts as usual by removing bar at the bottom with all applications on and also everything on my desktop bar background. That is, it stops and I have to manually hold the power button to turn off the machine.

    It becomes quite annoying say the least so any help I can get it with would be ace.

    Thank you in advance.

    Andy =)

    Hello

    I had this problem too. No Wacom driver installed. If you have installed battery status (it was blocking my Mac), try this:

    -the dock is still alive and the Finder is unusable open any application of the content of your dock

    -menu bar becomes visible

    -Leave the battery of his entry menu bar status

    -Stop or restart should now work

    -after reboot remove the battery of your Startupitems status in the users/groups preferences

    n ' forget not to leave the State of battery of its menu bar entry one last time!

    I hope that helps!
