MacBook – My MacBook Air won’t charge

batterymacbook promagsafe

My MacBook Air won't charge, the MagSafe doesn't even have that green or red orange light and when it does it isn't very bright.

The Battery Icon on the upper right corner indicates not charging.

When I pull the MagSafe out of my MacBook Air it would turn-off but still it doesn't mean its charging.

I could only use my MacBook Air if I'm plugging the magSafe even if it doesn't charge. My battery is still 0%

Because you explain the problem perfectly, and in short:

  • The battery does not charge, and your Macbook does only work with MagSafe attached

There's only one option what could be the problem...

The battery is dead, let me explain you why:

  1. Your battery is ignored somehow, and your Macbook uses power directly from the MagSafe adapter. If you couldn't even use the Macbook with the cable in it, the cable could be the problem. Since it works with cable-attached, it's not.
  2. You can use the macbook with cable in it as explained above.
