MacBook Air's battery doesn't charge, Service Battery state, but only 400 cycles Yesterday everything was fine with the battery in my MacBook Air 13'' 2012 (2 years old). It was lasting for 4-5 hours like new. Today, all of a sudden, the battery has stopped charging at all (I have only 40% left). While the power cable is plugged in, its LED doesn't indicate any colour. I rebooted the system, no difference. In System Info I have:

Cycle Count: 409
Condition: Service Battery

I heard that the lifetime of the battery should be 1000 cycles. I didn't update any software recently.

Does it all mean that the battery is dead? Or maybe there is a way to conquer it? Thank you!
It happens to me on my MBA, no charging light on. 

By moving the mag connector (like let it snap in few times) it then comes up.

Just a bad connection. You can try cleaning it with alcohol.

And I also have the "Service battery" but that is only a recommendation.

Next level would be displaying "Replace soon, or Replace Now.

While the light on the connector is not on, I can see in the battery indicator it is still charging, telling me the wall plug adapter/converter is still working.
