Chosen Solution

My Macbook Pro (mid 2010) battery icon is having a X (black) in it and the status says No Batteries Available. The power adapter light is green and if I am removing the power adapter, the laptop dies. I went though some of the solutions and i reset SMC by pressing Shift+Control+Option and Power key. I also did by removing the battery and holding the power key for 5-10 seconds but still the same issue. Please HELP !!! Here is what it shows, in Power section of the System Report - AC Power: System Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10 Disk Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10 Display Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10 Sleep on Power Button: Yes Wake on AC Change: No Wake on Clamshell Open: Yes Wake on LAN: Yes Display Sleep Uses Dim: Yes PrioritizeNetworkReachabilityOverSleep: 0 Battery Power: System Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10 Disk Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10 Display Sleep Timer (Minutes): 8 Sleep on Power Button: Yes Wake on AC Change: No Wake on Clamshell Open: Yes Current Power Source: Yes Display Sleep Uses Dim: Yes Reduce Brightness: Yes Hardware Configuration: UPS Installed: No

MIght be a cracked battery. I had a problem like this with a MacBookAir. Someone piled stuff on in an overhead airplane bin. I had to physically lift the battery out the laptop to be able to find the crack. Sometimes it would not charge or start.. then suddenly it would work fine, then start with the black X in menu. Picking up/moving the laptop could cause it to short out, or reset its proper position. So if you’ve dropped, squeezed or stacked something on that laptop your problem might be battery damage. If this Answer is helpful please remember to return and mark it Accepted.

If the battery doesn’t have lose contact then your battery is defiantly gone and you may need to replace it with new one. if your machine is still under warranty then I would suggest to go for warranty claim.

i had replaced apple macbook battery no fix. It’s same like before.. please post a reliable working fix..

I had the same problem, my 3 year old MacBook Pro has gone through a lot and is on its last lap, I’m a student so I bring it in my bag for almost 12 hours, including a commute, I have accidentally had this computer fly across a train station and it’s always been slow going, I just tilted my computer back and it started working again, definitely a temporary fix but if you can’t replace it right now, can’t take it in, or need to complete that paper now and have no time for this, just try moving it around a bit and find that sweet spot angle

I have a new battery in my apple laptop in the battery is saying no battery available in it has x on the battery

Same problem here. mid 2009 MacBook Pro 17”. Put in a new battery, turned on, problem shows up. Took out battery and held power button down for 10 secs while battery was out, rebooted, same problem, reset SMC by pressing Shift+Control+Option and Power key, still no battery available. I know this is an old problem, but it’s still alive, and I’m trying to keep this old machine running.
