Once you've done all this, report back on how this all went (any power light, any charge, any error message, etc). Then shut down your computer and leave it connected to power for a while (if possible, long enough for what a usual charge would take).įinally, before having to return the adapter, redo my steps for resetting the SMC. If it boots okay, then check the battery status (in the menu bar) to see how much charge it has and whether there's any sort of error message. Regardless, leave it connected for at least a half hour and then try starting your computer. Take note of whether the power/charge light comes on or not. If you can borrow that (the MBP 2013 adapter), then connect your MagSafe lead to that and connect it to your MBP 2010 for a while and leave it. Ok, your MBP 2010 has a 60W Power Adapter and so does the MBP 2013. You can check your model number (printed on the bottom of your laptop) and the manufacture date to make sure you get the right battery. We carry several batteries and chargers for Apple 2010 MacBook Pro models. If nothing happens, you could use the MagSafe lead and connect it to one of the newer MagSafe 2 adapters you have (keeping the lead but changing the power source) and then trying the SMC reset again. Revive your MacBook battery life with a new MacBook Pro 2010 battery or charger. Turn your computer back on with the power button.Press at the same time shift option control (on the left side of the keyboard) and the power button.Keep the MagSafe adapter (or power cable) plugged in.To do this on your MBP, follow these steps: I know there's a question mark over your charger, so it's understandable you may not have tried this, but it's still worth at least trying an SMC reset.
