How to Boot MacBook Pro Without a Battery (Older Models 2006 – 2011) Guide is free? Long live the old Macs! Does this already qualify for retro status? Probably not … give it a little longer. In those situations, take the Mac to a certified Apple repair specialist or an Apple Store. Of course, newer MacBook hardware (including Pro & Air) doesn’t have user serviceable batteries and in some cases the battery is glued to the top case so in those situations the up in a situation where the computer has no battery is much less likely, and any troubleshooting scenario will be much more extreme and will require a more thorough hardware repair which is much beyond the scope of this particular article.
By the way, if you’re rocking an older Mac and want to speed it up up, check this one out tips. This article is clearly focused on older MacBook Pro hardware, but it may also be relevant to other older MacBook models, including similar model year (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) MacBook and MacBook Air, and maybe even newer ones MacBook Pro models too.

This MagSafe power button An urgent solution was found on iFixIt forums and it worked for me so if you are in a similar scenario with an older MacBook Pro try it for yourself. Sometimes the MacBook Pro can boot just by plugging in the correct power adapter with a higher wattage. These older model year MacBook Pro computers use 85W power adapters, while the same generation MacBook and MacBook Air used 60W power adapters. Also check the wattage of the power adapterįor what it’s worth, in some scenarios where the battery seems dead but isn’t real (i.e., the charge has been drained for a long time but the battery itself isn’t completely useless yet), then you may be able to successfully boot the MacBook Pro with a correct wattage 85W MagSafe Power Adapter. With some other internal component replacements, sometimes just plug in the MagSafe adapter and hold the power button 10 seconds is enough for the MacBook Pro to start up.
