Mac Forum / General / General / May 2008MacBook Pro Charger Light
Frequently, when my MacBook Pro is fully charged, the green light on the plug goes out. Re-plugging turns it back on, but why does it go off? Help says it should either be amber or green. Could one of the connectors be oxidized and should I worry about this?  SignatureRobert B.

I typed "reset SMC" and just "SMC" into OS X Help and got back No pages with your search words were found I then "googled" "reset SMC" and got a reference to an Apple Support Article. Interesting.

Interesting. <verbose> For an Intel Mac portable: - remove AC adapter (and other cables) - remove battery - with _no_ power source attached, hold the power button for 5 seconds - restore battery & AC adapter This is the cure for many power & sleep issues. It may also resolve "missing" hardware problems (e.g. the system doesn't think it has an Airport card or firewire port). </verbose> |
