Hey, I have a new 15" Al PB that won't charge when plugged in. Its fully plugged in and is only about a couple months old. I'm not sure why its not charging. I haven't tried much cause I don't know what to do. I was thinking it could be the PMU but not sure. I restarted it but still no luck. If you can help me thanks a bunch.

Long shot:

Try Cmd-Opt-O-F at startup. Then type reset-nvram, and hit the Return key, and then type reset-all.

This is something I have come across in my travels, not something I have done myself. Maybe someone can verify its validity. Have heard positive stories from its use, but use at your own peril!!

I am also assuming that the charge is below 95%, as they won't charge when higher than this level.

I think it may be the ac adapter for it. I'll go to my local apple store.

I'm going to bet it's the AC adapter, I'm on my third one. They don't seem to be the best quality. The one I have now makes a humming noise when it's charging. Good news is Apple can have a replacement to you the very next day.
