Blinking LED on AC Power Adapter: green light/ red light, slow recharge?
Once recharge reaches about 90% the LED on the AC Power Adapter starts to blink green and red. The battery icon also flashes between "Charged" and time of remaining charge. Flashing cycle dramatically increases time to fully charge the battery, as if it gets stuck in an infinite loop and can't reach a full charge. A few days ago problem started after the most recent software update. Battery has a mark of corrosion, one small rust looking mark. Power Cycle Count is 329. Unexpected shut down (not sleep) did occur one time when battery was at low charge. BatteryUpdater.bundle is Version 1.3. Battery was calibrated also a few days ago. MacBook is not under the extended warranty. Any idea if this is the battery problem or AC power adapter, or even a glitch in the recent software update?
Have you ever calibrated your battery? This should provide the computer an accurate statement about the actual percentages and such, and prevent confusion with the charger as in your example. Also, your batter is a bit above the cycle count for a Li-on battery, perhaps its time you consider replacing it?
Hi,
I've the same problem. Once recharge reaches about 95% the led on the Power Adapter keeps blinking.
The battery icon does the same. I also had a sudden shutdown. Battery is not damaged and cycle number is 147. I've tried downgrading BatteryUpdater.bundle from version 1.3 to 1.2, but nothing changed. Any idea about a possible cause/solution?
Thanks,
tom
