MacBook Air 2020 doesn't see battery / does not charge
Original-Beitrag von::
Hi all![br]
[br]
So I've got a Macbook Air 2020 Retina Intel version that only boots whenever the power is connected (USB-C 30W original charger), (it is very slow and throttled then though, but that's probably because of lack of power). [br]
I thought it was because it hadn't been used for 6+ months and the battery would be dead. So I went ahead and changed the battery with the one iFixit offers along with the guide they provide: [guide|142673]
Everything was done quite easily. But the result is, unfortunately, still the same: it doesn't run on battery and also does not charge the battery. It doesn't show a battery icon in the top bar either (while the appropriate box for it is checked in the menu). [br]
[br]
I've installed Coconutbattery and this is the result:[br]

Does anyone know what else I can do? I've rechecked the battery cable a few times, but it really is connected properly. [br]
I've done a SMC reset by following this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM0TAJDmOmc
Not sure what else I can do. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts :-).[br]
[br]
Update 13:55: [br]
The battery cable wasn't plugged in far enough apparently! So it runs, YAY![br]
[br]
I've added pics of how it was connected and after I pressed a little harder, feeling a 'tick' as well. [br]
[br]
New coconutBattery stats attached as well. Seems very old? Let's see how it will perform :-).
