[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1359756, member: 214663"] Mate, Your Macbook according to this is 5 years old and the battery and/or it's charger will be showing it's age. It's possible that the battery's protection circuit is spuriously activating which will turn it off if over-discharged or if it thinks the conditions are similar. I don't think that there is a way to momentarily boost your battery so that it will start to take a charge properly (you could try removing the battery whilst the mains is connected and then re-insert the battery whilst the macbook is still under mains power), and by the time you've gone 'all around the houses' you'll probably kick yourself for not getting a new battery sooner.
