Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Right, my beloved Mac is well and truly fecked. It just wont go on at all and I've had a look around forums and it seems to be a dead battery? Just wondering if anyone has had this problem or know how much and where I can get the batteries from?

Not a Mac person but surley battery or not just plug in the mains adaptor and run off that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried that and it does absolutely nothing. I don't know for sure if it's the battery thats knackered but thats what I assumed from having a quick look about the net. ****ing me right off!

Angry Haggis Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Is there sprt sort of LED indicator on the mains power pack to suggest its ok (i.e. the flug has not blown its fuse or something..) Does the battery have power left led indicators...some laptops (newer Dell models) when you pop the battery out there is a small push button on the back of it next to 5 small green LED's...

Tazio Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 A lot of Macs only work if there is a battery fitted. My wife had a problem with her Macbook and it turned out to be a dodgy battery. I got a new battery for my old back up Powerbook on eBay for around ?40. Instantly back up to 4 hours battery life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Not taking the **** but is the screen contrast turned all the way down? Are you getting any lights at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 If you do have to buy a new battery then I'd do it soon, last week there was a large fire in the LG Chem factory in Sth Korea, they supply the chemical cells to most major manufacturers and there is expected to be a major shortage until june- july!!!!

jamboj Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I've got a macbook and my battery stopped working months ago, it runs just fine off the mains tho. I'd be very sceptical that a non functioning battery would prevent it running off the mains, all the same though, have you tried physically removing the battery and then powering it from the mains?
