[QUOTE="mpataki, post: 1046818, member: 152276"] [b]Smc ram[/b] I would start by resetting the SMC RAM (System's Management Controller). The SMC RAM is what is in charge of anything power-related. Reporting battery life to the OS, switching between battery and wall plug, even making the power button work. To reset the SMC RAM take your battery out of the laptop and unplug the machine from the wall. Hold down the power button for a few seconds (5 or so) and then plug everything back in. Nine times out of ten do that will fix charging problems like that - especially on a fairly new computer like yours. Hope that helps. Mat [/QUOTE]
