This happened while the battery was drained and the macbook was off and unplugged. At this point, the battery has actually expanded and broke out of it's original case.

The day of the appointment I took another look at my macbook after leaving it idle for a few days. I have seen a lot of posts about macbooks just not turning on until the battery that has died is charged and inserted. and it was just my cord that had the issue (until the battery drained completely). My macbook was working fine until the battery died, it was powered on and functioning etc. I am really not satisfied at all and I will explain why. Hi all, I finally took my macbook into the apple store and met with a genius. My issue is that how can my macbook all of a sudden just 'die' when it was working PERFECTLY fine before the battery drained? I assumed buying another adapter would fix the issue.Ĭould this simply be because my macbook does not yet have the firmware installed for the new L shaped adapter? If so what steps can I take to install the firmware? I know it is not the magsafe adapter because I have tried two others with no luck. I have tried an SMC reset, holding shift, etc. When I try to power my mac on it does not come on with the battery in or removed.

I bought another adapter (the newer L shaped ones) and when I plug it in the light comes on green but does not change colour to amber. My Macbook is completely dead at this point. The adapter was not lighting up and I assumed that it had just stopped working. The other day I was working on battery life and noticed it was about to drain, so I plugged in my adapter. I am hoping someone can give me some insight into what has happened with my Macbook.
