MacBook Pro 2011 doesn't charge the battery at all. Only works with the powercord. Reset SMC already. Ideas?

The battery doesn't charge at all anymore.

My Macbook pro suddenly stopped working without the cord plugged in.

And when the laptop is switched off, it switches on by its own as soon as I plug it in.


I reset the SMC, to no avail.

Any tips?

Thanks.

If it has a replaceable battery, then consider replacing it.


Open System Profiler in Utilities folder. After it opens click on the Power entry in the sidebar. See what it reports for your battery. If it's no longer usable it will generally say "Service."


If you don't have a user-replaceable battery, then take it to an Apple Store.
