Hi there, i been having trouble with my MBP, the MBP says that is Not Charging even connected with the MegaSafe, i was reading that the problem could be the SMC Firmware so i decide to look in Apple Support (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237) but the SMC update is not listed.
Anyone know where can i donwnload it?, My MBP its the model ( MacBookPro9,2 ) [ MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) ]
Thanks!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
Hello ND491,
The blank fields in the table indicate there has not been an update for that device, but that was a great place to look to make sure it is up to date. Now that you have checked that, there are a couple of other things I recommend if you are not able to charge your MacBook Pro.
The first thing I recommend is resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your MacBook Pro:
Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
- Shut down the computer.
- Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
- Remove the battery.
- Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
- Release the power button.
- Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
- Press the power button to turn on the computer.

If your battery is still not charging, the next thing I recommend is troubleshooting your MagSafe adapter using the steps in this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

What is the % level of battery charge when it shows that it is not charging? Post a picture of the battery icon on the menu bar if you can.
Ciao.
