Battery won't charge, battery and mb battery dead?
I have a mid 2010 macbook pro. When connected to my magsafe it works fine.
The led is green, and the battery stays at 0%. When off for 2 days the laptop also loses its date and time.
There is no chime at startup, but backlight an fans are working fine, so I think the SMC is still working ok...
I think the battery won't charge because the MB battery has run out of juice..
If I'm correct, this type of macbook has no MB battery but keeps some energy from the battery on the main board circuits?
Is there a way to force the MB to load?
The battery itself has only 130 cylces, can't believe it's dead already...
Hardware diagnostics also proves the battery is still ok
Have tried already a lot of things...
Update
Strange enough, the battery has a cylce count of 137, when I power on the laptop the led on the front blinks 5 times. Hard to believe that a battery with only so less usage has already died....
Apple diagnostics doesn't say the battery is dead, only when booted to mac os the operating system claims the battery as "needs replacement"
Is this a good question?
