First of all: What do you mean by doesn't recognize?

Second: Did you order the right battery? And where did you order it? You should have ordered this battery.

Third: Are you sure you installed the battery correctly?

I have a MacBook Pro mid 2009 2.26 Ghz and I took the battery A1278. I followed correctly all the instrctions and I used your tools, but now my laptop cannot switch on... It seems that the energy doesn't go from the battery to the computer. I tried to replace the old battery and the conclusion is the same as with the new one! So now I cannot switch on my laptop with any of the two batteries.

What do I have to do? Why did this thing happen?

Thank you

Hi guys,

I have a same problem. A few weeks ago I replaced my battery for a new one, which now doesn't get recognized. There's a cross through the battery charge icon and it says "No battery available".

I can use my laptop with the power cord (green light), but obviously you don't buy a laptop to use only with the battery charger. If I take the charger out, it closes down immediately.

I've reset probably everything there is to reset: SMC, PRAM, NVRAM. I took the battery out and in again, but nothing seems to work.

I ordered the battery at an authorized reseller, did everything exactly like in the video.

HELP! :'(
