Macbook Pro Not Charging

[jimmythegreek]

Hey guys hope you guys can help me out with this. My mac book pro 13 inch won't charge. Hoping you guys can help me.

I was using it the other day and notice when I plugged it in to charge that the green/orange charging light on the power cord was not working. I Tried wiggling it around to see maybe the wiggle trick would do it to see if the contacts were maybe stuck or loose. Since that didn't work i used my buddies charger and my mac book charged up just fine. So I figured that I needed a new charger. So i bought a new apple charger and when I plugged it into my mac book the green/orange light does't come on and also under the batter % indicator on the screen it says " Not charging". I think the battery is fine because it doesn't drain fast & because it charged on my friends charger. I bought my macbook pro back in 2010 if that helps.

Try an SMC reset:

Your 'click here' links are non existent.

Also if his friends charger works then i would say it's a charger issue.

OP: wait for some more responses before ripping apart your computer.

I took the back pannel off of my mac book. Since I was told to remove batter. But it say's all over the place to NOT remove the battery.
