Oct 2, 2015 1:36 PM in response to cabrera5by cabrera5,Thank you for your help. I did try resetting the System Management Controller and although the indicator light is on now and is charging it has taken 48 hours to charge 60%. I did take it to a recovery company so that the data is backed up from the hard drive before I take it in to Apple. They found the fan was not spinning and a piece of plastic near the screw for the battery was broken off. They explained it was clearly a manufacture defect, there isn't any way this could have been our fault. Especially because the laptop has been taken care of very well! This piece of plastic made itself to the fan, not allowing the fan to blow and overheated the laptop! This is crazy for Mac to sell something like this, they clearly saw it happen when building it. I am definitely investigating and looking into all blogs, there must be others that have been in this situation. Again, thank you for your assistance but looks like I will have to take it in.
