Hello everybody, I replaced yesterday the old battery of my 2017 MBP following the guide Everything looks fine but the mac says the battery is not charging. I thought I went wrong on some step and that the battery is not properly connnected (checked twice) but no charging at all. I looked at system information and uner the power paragraph I can see the new battery, the capacity and all other data but as I said before not charging. I tried to reset SMC (not easy to understand on a MBP it actually reset SMC or not) but no luck. Anyone had a similar problem? Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!
mmm … This looks like the charging logic within the main logic board has failed. This is going to need a bit more digging that a local shop will be better suited. It will need someone with micro soldering skills and access the small SMT components this system uses. Where do you live? Country and nearest city, maybe we can aim you to someone.
