The new battery should show clean in system information even if it won't charge due to other issues. Now you have to figure if the adapter is bad - you didn't explicitly say that, but it's probably not since you would report that the system is dead and won't power on ever again if you can't get some adapter to put charge back in the battery when the machine is off and sitting overnight.Īt this point, you still need a hardware repair.Ī repair shop might be able to tell if the battery needs replacing but since you did that - you either have a totally unlikely circumstance that the old battery failed in a non-common way and the new battery happens to have the same non-common failure mode. Let's assume your situation is different than all the rest - My MacBook Air won't charge - and it's not the adapter or the pins or something you can fix and identify without turning a screw or opening the Mac. Once you've reset the SMC once - that's out of the picture. But I'd rather pursue more DIY options if they exist. Apple's next recommended step is to get the machine serviced. I suppose I could try using a different power adapter, but I don't have another on-hand with a compatible MagSafe adapter.



When the computer is on and plugged in, the system's power status says "Not charging.".I did so.Ĭoconut Battery likes the new battery, but it has the same issues: I tried multiple outlets nothing changed.Ĭoconut Battery gave a "check battery" status, indicating it needed to be replaced.I tried resetting the SMC nothing changed.The MagSafe indicator light would sometimes show a very faint green, but most of the time, it was completely off.My battery would not charge, and the computer would die instantly upon removing the MagSafe cable.The circumstances of my Macbook Air (late 2010 model) and its inability to charge the battery are a bit unique from the other cases I've read about on forums:
