What to do if your Apple MacBook won't charge. Discover how to fix a non-charging MacBook that doesn't hold battery power.
A non-charging MacBook can be extremely frustrating. After all, one of the joys of buying an Apple laptop is that you can unplug it from the mains and use it anywhere. That only makes sense if it holds a charge. In this feature we're going to look at what to do if your Apple laptop won't charge up or doesn't hold a charge.
If your MacBook keeps losing its charge, you should checkthat the Settings aren't draining the battery.Open up System Preferences and choosing Settings >Energy Saver. Check that the Computer Sleep and DisplaySleep sliders are not all the way to the right (set to Never).If they are, click the Default button to reset them.
Before you go any further you should check a few basics. Here aresome things to look out for:Is the Apple MacBook plugged in? Is the Mag Safe connectionplugged in to your Apple laptop?
Is the Apple adaptor connected together properly? Each Apple laptopadaptor comes in two parts, the square adaptor and a removable plug(or lead) that connects to the wall. Pull the two apart and put themback together.
Are you plugged into a wall socket? Is the socket turned on? Haveyou tried using a different wall socket? We know all this sounds a bitbasic, but double-check before you go any further.
What does the Apple adaptor look like? Is it in pristine condition or has it got any tears in the cable? Is the adaptor discolored in any way? Does it look burnt out? If so, try a different adaptor (borrow one from a friend or ask at an Apple Store).Check the MagSafe connection on your Apple laptop for dust. This can prevent the MagSafe connector from making a clean connection to the Mac and stop you from charging it up correctly.
Click the battery icon in the Menu bar. If it says Service Battery you may need to get your battery replaced. In this case your MacBook should still work, but the battery has started to age and will no longer hold the charge that it once did.
Apple has three recommendations if you have a battery that won'tcharge. First you should try these solutions:
• Reset the battery. If you have an older Apple laptop with a removablebattery you should remove it and re-insert it to make sure it'sproperly installed.
• Reset the SMC. Resetting the SMC (System Management Controller)can help with battery and power related problems. Our 10 Steps totake when your Mac won't start feature has more information onresetting the SMC.
• Apple has a detailed article online that guides you through theSMC reset process.
• Get the Mac serviced (or replace the battery). If resetting theSMC doesn't work, Apple recommends you take the Mac to yourlocal Apple Store or contact AppleCare. If your Mac isn't coveredby Apple's warrantee, you might want to consider replacing thebattery.
