Why is my MacBook plugged in but not charging?

 

The first thing to do if your MacBook won’t charge is to make sure you have enough power. One of the most frequent causes of your MacBook battery not charging is a lack of power coming from the wall outlet or another converter, which prevents the MacBook from receiving enough juice to charge. If this occurs, you might try using a different power source to see if it charges there instead. Nonetheless, if your situation is unique, try the outlined methods to guarantee a solution. Hence ICFix Service provides Laptop chip-level training courses in Chennai.

 

Look for a defective adapter and a damaged charging cable:

 

Before we get started, let’s repair the problem with your MacBook or MacBook Pro not charging. First, make sure the charging cord is intact and the adaptor is working properly. You must turn on and plug in your Laptop in order to accomplish this. If it’s on battery power and won’t charge, there might be a problem with the cable or adapter; if it charges while plugged in but stops when removed, one of those parts is probably broken (or both).

 

Now check both ends of your charger—is it missing?

 

Does it appear crooked or out of place?

 

If so, connecting and disconnecting might finally fix the problem momentarily since it pushes back whatever might be causing the contact problems.

 

In the end, we advise having these defective adapters and cables replaced at an Apple Store or an authorized service facility. Not only do using worn-out parts run the risk of resulting in damage later on by weakening the connection between your power source and your MacBook, but used accessories are also more likely to become contaminated by data-stealing malware programs like keyloggers.

 

Start your MacBook or MacBook Pro again:

 

Step 1: A simple restart can sometimes solve the problem of a MacBook battery that won’t charge. Turn off your computer and unplug any external devices or power adapters before continuing.

 

Step 2: Press and hold your On/Off button and Control key for around 15 seconds after the 20-second mark.

 

Step 3: After releasing both keys, hold down the On/Off button for a second time for 5 to 10 seconds, or until the Apple logo displays on the screen.

 

Right now, your Laptop ought to be in sleep mode. It will restart with AC power or battery power after around 10 minutes. Now you can see if charging your MacBook Pro is going smoothly.

 

Restart the SMC (System Management Controller):

 

The Mac logic board’s System Management Controller (SMC), a potent chip, controls the status indicator lights and the battery life.

 

If your Mac laptop won’t charge properly or at all, or if it won’t power on at all despite being plugged in, resetting it may help. You should carry out this troubleshooting step when your laptop is powered on.

 

Before trying any system resets, your Laptop must be turned off. You risk electrocution if you use it while it is off! Here are two quick ways to reset an SMC.
