Resetting the SMC by holding down the keys worked! My charger immediately lit up and my dead 2010 macbook pro turned on. I had so much work on there, this was a HUGE relief! Thanks man :)
I am currently living and working abroad and anything to do with technology (or fixing tech) is very expensive here. I nearly had a full on panic attack when my battery status was no longer showing on my home screen anymore and my charger wasn't lighting up when plugged into my laptop. I was worried I would have to pay an arm and a leg to get the problem fixed but I stumbled upon your video, followed your directions, and it solved the issue!! Thank you so very much!!
I didn’t usually put a comment on each section whenever I ran on UA-cam searching but after a month of trouble shooting and searching on my Macbook air’s problem I bump into your site and got this resolve. My anxiety is gone! Thank you 🙏
i was desperately trying to salvage the remaining battery and get it to charge because i only had 3% left and also a school project to do, and it wouldn't turn on, but miraculously halfway through the video it worked. thank you, tech gods.
Thank you! I never knew about resetting the SMC. When my Mac stopped charging I was about to head down to the Apple store to buy another until I decided to check UA-cam. Worked great and saved me money!
Can I just say - you are my hero tonight! I was even browsing Apply online store to buy a new charger coz I thought it’s my charger! When I did the reset thingy, it worked! Green light in my charger lit up again! Yay!! Thank you!!! ❤️
That is amazing, removing the battery, pressing power button for five seconds, reinserting the battery and pressing the power button >>> and it works! SMC is reset, it is now powered on and battery is charging! That has saved hundreds of pounds, thank you so much!
Omgeeeee thank you so much, this is very helpful. My battery is drained and also wont charge, was about to bring it to sevice center luckily I saw your video. I followed the " reset SMC " and tsaraaaan my laptop power is back and is now charging.... Your channel is very helpful and save me money😀
MacBook stopped charging and died completely was unable to turn back on at all I thought it was a goner. Thank you for this video, restarting the SMC worked for me.
I’ve tried everything and it still won’t work Edit: so it’s been a while may want to explain myself....my charger was just broken so I just got a knew one...bit underwhelming but it’s the truth
Try setting on a hard and flat surface; I was trying to charge my MBP while on the bed and had no luck..... then i placed on a hard surface and that did the trick
Thank you so much! I was freaking out because my ports were all clean and my chargers are both new...no light on my charging cable, no battery indicator on my toolbar, my keyboard wouldn't light up and my fan was going gonzo. Until...I tried your SMC reset for a non-removable battery and voila...all back to normal! Definitely following you now...
I was freaking out by the time you said dont freak out and then i thought my brother would kill me and all the memories that i has with this mac book air is now gone snd then i saw the glitch one where you want to press shift and stuff like that and i was soing that and i was waiting 10 seconds and presing them i literally starting to have tears i was sobbing and then magic happend it turned on and i was like hugging mac and soooo happy like sooooooo much happy and now i will take care of my mac book air amd whenever something is not starting i always start to tears and it start like my ipad it was glitched and nothing was working i was also freaking out and then i started to have tears I accidentally pressed the volume botton and it got normal i think my devices love me cuz whenever i start to cry it starts love you devices
very helpful video, my MacBook air 2015 was not charging on direct electricity but was charging on invertor electricity, but after watching your video i found out that wireless mouse dongle attached to usb port was causing the issue, removing usb dongle solved it, now my MacBook air is charging even on direct electricity. Thanks a lot
Thank you so much for your video. My MacBook Pro showed battery is x out, the fans were not spinning. I was thinking of replacing the battery and the fans then I stumbled upon your video so I gave it a try with resetting the SMC like you showed. And everything is back to normal now. Thank you so much sir, you have no idea how happy I am. Happy New Year!
I changed the battery and my MacBook pro will not charge. After watching this video, I decided to reset the SMC about three times and now my computer is charging. Thank you!
holy crap dude i was so scared because all the sudden my macbook's fan got rly loud and didn't charge or show charging display on screen but that last thing you did fixed it!
Idk if I misunderstood the the process for a non removal battery Mac, but I held down the shift, ctrl, option AND power button and voila.. it reset the SMC. The light on my charger turned on. Thanks!!
For those of you for whom this suggestion DID NOT WORK, I was feeling desperate. I tried EVERYTHING. I finally took some aluminum foil and jammed it between the charger and the port. It didn't work, BUT when I removed it, its DID WORK! Not sure why, but I'll be trying again if there's a next time.
Very useful thanks my battery is weak it abruptly stopped and then i connected power adapter. It didn’t take up charge. Then i reset SMC. It worked and started charging
Thank a lot, it’s work .I have MacBook 2009 non removable battery it was indicating green when connected and not charging. After smc reset the indicator now is orange and battery is charging. Thank you for your video.
please help. it ran out of battery, it always lights green and I have to plug it and unplug it multiple times before it actually wanting to charge and for the button to turn orange. today it says it was charging but now it just died out of nowhere, I tried buying a new charger because I thought the other one was broken.. is there any way to fix this?
While resurrecting the old machine of my daughter, resetting the SMC - advised by you - did the trick. MagSafe LED turned from green (unable to charge) to orange (charging). Let's wait if it actually does charge. THANKS ANYWAY!!!
THANK YOU! I went to go charge my mac air and the light wouldn’t glow on the charger. I would turn it on and the fan would go crazy and the battery icon wouldn’t show up. Was at 0% Resetting SMC helped. much relief 😮💨💗
Thanks man. the fan of my macbook Air was continuously running and the indicator of the charger was not lighting. I followed whatever steps you said. And it worked. Thanks man again. 🙏
My MacBook Pro is a 2014 model and has done this since I got it, I tried a new charger same problem. I use a paper clip to clean the connections on the ports (the plug on the cable and the receiving port) this seems to work. A very annoying thing on an otherwise incredible product.
I am seeing the battery charge percentage climb now, and I'm happy to report this! The following is what appears to have caused the charging of the battery to again occur. I shut down the MacBook, then I disconnected the power cord from the magnetic connection port, then I pulled out the battery, then I pushed down the power button and held it down for 5 seconds, then I reinstalled the battery, then I reconnected the power cord, then I pushed the power button to restart the MacBook, then I logged into my "portion" of the hard drive and observed the charging percentage information.
Soo my light on the charger stopped coming on!!! Which meant it WASNT CHARGING AND I FREAKED OUT!! Anytime I unplugged it it would cut off But I did the smc reset and it’s on again!! Orange, but on!! Which means it is indeed charging. Thank you thank you thank you I legit was gonna cry.
Thank you bro! SMC Reset works! I am literally freaking out inside. I am searching for this and found your video. I tried to be calm and do the following steps. My brain cells are very happy that it works!
Thank you very much,my laptop macbook air charging was showing 0 percent and was non removable battery,when I followed ur smc procedure it really worked.😁
I didn't even have enough battery to watch this...
