MacbookPro are one of the most preferred laptops when it comes to professional use and especially for the ones who work in the corporate industry. The reason behind this preference is the extremely simplistic interface, high end configuration and the sleek design that a MacbookPro offers. In fact, for a large amount of people owning an apple product like a Macbook is a thing of luxury.
MacbookPro is a great laptop when it comes to extensive use, even though it is immune to viruses and most of the system failures yet one thing that can really hit your Macbook hard, is the MacbookPro battery. If you don’t take care of your MacbookPro battery then it can be one of the few factors that can damage your Macbook Pro.
I have been using Macbook Pro for a pretty long time now and I must say that the battery life is just amazing. The MacbookPower Adapter is one of the things that need utter care.
If you’re planning to buy a new Macbook, one of the initial advices would be to charge your Macbook Pro to it’s optimum level prior to use. Keep charging it until the battery is full, anyhow it shouldn’t take more than 2-3 hours to be fully charged. Once charged, its ready for its first use.
If your MacbookPro Power Adapter gets damaged, the recommendation would be to only buy authentic Power adapters as the ones from the black market can do some serious damage to your laptop batteries. Even though a new power adapter can be a bit expensive but if you wish long life to your Macbook, then it is the price to pay.
Moreover, if you’re traveling, it is advised to keep an extra power adapter or charger with you as leaving your Macbook out of power for a long period of time can adversely affect your Macbook Pro’s Battery.
Another thing that you need to keep in mind is that avoid placing your Macbook over a surface that would block its air outlets. Surfaces like beds, sofas or pillows aren’t a favorable platform for your Macbook as it can lead to extensive heating which can damage the hardware. Moreover, avoid charging your Macbook Pro if you’re going to put your hardware to extensive use as it can lead to overheating and the system may fail.
Unfortunately, if you have already managed to damage your Macbook Pro Battery then here is a quick tutorial on how to replace your Macbook Pro battery.
First, you need to shut down your Macbook Pro and make sure that you disconnect any chords before proceeding.
Now that it’s free from any external connections, flip it over and lift out the battery tab to reveal the cavity where the battery is placed.
Make sure that you touch a metal or earth to get rid of static electricity in your body. Now that you have the battery cover open, you can easily extract out the old battery.
Now that you have the old battery out, check for the battery bay and then place your new battery in there. Now gently push it down and slide to lock it in it’s place.
Once you are confirmed that the battery has been placed at the right place, lift the locks again and place the battery tab at the right position. Now press down the cover and push in the locks.
Now, push the power button to check if everything is working fine. You might have to push twice in order to make it work, after the battery replacement.
Well, as you can see that it is pretty easy to change Macbook Pro’s battery and to ensure that the new battery in good health, it is conventionally suggested to let the battery get over completely before putting it back for charging but this, in no way, is a necessity.
If your version of Macbook Pro has got built in batteries, refrain from operating on it and leave it to the professionals.
But what if the battery is fine and the Power adaptor isn’t working?
Even though there are no standard statistics that define how long an adapter would work in perfect condition but you never know how long will the power adapter actually last. If your Apple Power Adapter has malfunctions and isn’t working properly, then make sure you follow the given steps to know what the problem is and how to fix it!
Check your ports
It can happen that there might be a problem with your Macbook’s charging port. Since it’s magnetic in nature, it can generally attract bits of metal that may obstruct the proper fixing of the charger.
The Power Adaptor has a DC Jack at the end which then fits in into the charging port, make sure there is nothing fixed up inside that DC jack which might prove to be an obstruction.
Upgrade the BIOS (Basic Input-Output System )
In many cases, the Macbook may not respond in a rightful manner if the bios or the system information about the hardware isn’t updated.
If none of this works, it’s just that your Macbook Pro Power Adapter has stopped functioning and you need to get a new one.
That’s it for today folks. As our final recommendations, make sure you keep an extra Power Adapter with you whenever you’re on long distance travels and follow our tips to help your Macbook Pro sustain a long life.
