Yes, it is true! One can overcharge their laptop batter. :) This it what I found out from Kurt, the friendliest Apple Technician I have ever met… well the only apple technician I have ever met! :) After some very kind advice from a few and prayers from many, my computer still wouldn’t turn on. So I had no other option than to locate an Apple store (though I was forewarned that the computer would most likely have to be sent into the repair headquarters). Kurt made it totally worth it to get really lost on the way, arrive 1.5 hours late to my appointment, and the wait for a free technician. Why? Because after evaluating my laptop, he turned it over, completely removed the backside, popped the battery out of the laptop, waited 15 seconds, replaced the batter, and life re-entered my computer!! He even cleaned my screen for me. :D All the pictures were still there, not even harmed!! Yes, an answer to prayer. I am so thankful! Kurt firmly warned me to stop overcharging my batter and sent me on my way. Today I am thankful for Kurt and for all you who wrote with advice or to let me know you were praying. Thank you!! And I am thankful for God’s mercy. No, I didn’t deserve to have my computer return to 100% working order with no lost data but God was so merciful to me. Even if the files were lost and the computer completely ruined, God is still merciful and so faithful! Now it is back to editing for me. :)
“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23
Wow! So, how do you overcharge a battery?
I was a little shocked/skeptical when I heard it too. But he seemed to know what he was talking about! I always keep my laptop plugged in, The Apple repair man said that although it usually doesn’t effect the computer it can occasionally cause the battery to give out. That is why he had to manually reset the battery. I was just glad the computer was working, so I trusted him! ;)
That’s interesting to know. I’m glad it all worked out!
Glad to hear all is back to normal and you lost no files!!!
Thanks so much for the e-mail! I’m still unsure what I’m going to get:)

Thanks Emily! :) I am very glad too.
Love easy fix problems! PtL! !
Me too. I am praising The Lord. He shows His loving kindness and tender mercies even in the little thing of life… Such as a broken computer. :) He is sovereign and perfect in all His doings.
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 89:1
So glad you were able to get it fixed and recover your pics!
