Hi Guys, would love some advice to figure out what i need to do/buy. Light doesn’t come on on two different chargers, but they both work on another identical Macbook pro.Power is going to Macbook, as lightning symbol appears on battery icon, and the Macbook continues to functionEvery time i unplug it and it the percentage reduces, then this is now the highest it will go started at about 70% and Battery now won’t go over 15%Battery Condition in menu bar says: Replace soon.I have tried resetting the SMC a few times, doesn’t seem to do anythingI cleaned the Magsafe port on Macbook and on the cableCoconut battery results:
Do you think I just need to replace the battery? or could it also be an issue with the Magsafe port?
You’ll need a new battery for sure! As far as the MagSafe charger what is the color of the MagSafe connector? Amber or Green? You may require someone to fix your logic board as the CoconutBattery is showing the battery is not charging. If the MagSafe is green (or dim green) the charging logic within the logic board has a problem. The cause could have been a cloned charger! Many don’t have the needed circuitry to protect the system. I only recommend using a REAL Apple unit.
