Not charging, unless battery is at 0%

[RRmalvado]

I have an issue with a 13" 2010 MacBook Pro.

The laptop itself works fine, however, it does not charge unless the battery is completely dead (0%). Once it gets to that point I can definitely charge it back to 100% and there are no issues. On that same token, I have tried different chargers and different outlets just to make sure.

When it is, let's say 80% charged, if I plug in the charger the light does not come on.

Anything I can do besides taking it to the Apple Store in the morning?

I wouldn't let it get to 0%. That could damage the battery and shorten its life. Just take it to the apple store.

What boss said.

You can also try a battery calibration once, don't know how much it will help but your battery seems problem specific. Apple store is your best bet.

Try resetting the PMU (now called SMC):

1.- Shut down the mbp
2.- Plug it to the magsafe
3.- Press and hold (left) shift+ctrl+cmd and the power button all at the same time
4.- Release all buttons at a time and power on normally.

Just tried this but it was unsuccessful.
Thank you though.
