Problems with Mac

Hi,

 

I've had an A1181 for about 2 years now, (was a late 2008 model) and was working fine before i went away on holiday and left it on standby, but closed and unplugged. I got back from holiday and voila, it wouldnt power on. The LED on the charger is not coming on, so i bought a new one and in case it was the DC in (Magsafe Board) I replaced these myself. Still no life. Battery now has 0 lights on it, so no power.

 

Went to my IT department, and they have confirmed that power is getting to the board, and that the part was fitted properly, but it's still not wanting to play ball.

 

any suggestions as to what could be wrong with the poor mite?

 

Thanks!

Battery Problems Macbook pro 2011


Hi there.



I have a macbook pro early 2011 (March 2011).


The battery recently is failing. It's now 13% (922mAh) of its original capacity of 6,900mAh. There has been only 331 cycles and barely 2 years old.


I calibrate the battery about once a month.



Would like to verify if this is a valid claim on Apple Care.



I'm not that techy.... Thanks for all the help



PS: last week I noticed that the battery was 20% of its original capacity....

Problems after wake-up, kernel and battery


I have a Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz i7 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 with OS X 10.8.2 that is having some problems with Kernel going crazy and battery not being recognized after I put the computer to sleep and then I wake it up.



Some more information in here https://discussions.apple.com/message/21221254#21221254



Now I have discovered that the problem happens when I wake up my Macbook. At firts I thought that the problem was related to problems with the network, then I thought that it was temperature related (but the temperature has always been low...) and then I realized that when waking up the computer, the computer will wake up with a gray screen and then problems will start.



Anybody having similar problems ?



You can see in the picture that temperature is low, kernel has gone crazy and that battery is not being recognized. By the way, Battery healt is OK according to coconut.

Battery Problems Linked to Firmware Update?


Hello all,



I have a 13" Macbook Pro that I purchased in the USA in 2011. It has stopped holding power. It will only turn on if the power adaptor is connected.



Resetting the SMC (several times) did not resolve the problem.



I have attached a screen grab showing the battery information.




Do you think the battery is under warranty? Only 98 cycles and battery condition normal. Or do you think it may be the Logic Board?



Or could the firmware update I made recently be a cause? Is there a log held in the computer of all the updates made and when they were made?



Regards.



Kevin

Macbook 13" Late 2011 Problems - Erratic battery, loud, running hot.

Hi,

 

I've spoken to Apple Support however I was just wondering if I could get some extra information, the guy didn't answer all of my questions.

 

So last Thursday I stupidly installed Norton 360 Multi-Device on my MBP 13'' Late 2011 Model. After installation, the laptop started running loudly and the space above the keyboard where the fan is ran really hot. I immediately uninstalled it, and removed the Norton Backup files from my computer. However upon the next start-up the day after, my battery would give 30-45mins on a full charge.

 

I reset the NVRAM and PRAM and resetted the systems management controller. This recified my laptop from showing "1-2hrs remaining". However now the battery remaining status bar fluctuates between 4hrs and at one stage displayed 9hrs. I am in the process of calibrating the battery, however I have no idea what to do from there if it doesn't work.

 

My printer had been printing 20 copies of the one document, so I removed the printer off the network, but I can no longer pick it up to re-add it again.

 

I've been assured this is a hardware problem and not a virus, but I was wondering if anyone had any other opinions or advice?

 

Much appreciated!
