Q: My MacBook Air 2013 model suddenly quit charging.

So my MacBook Air worked fine 2 days ago, but when I went to charge it yesterday because the battery had died it wouldn't charge. No damage has been done to the computer, and it was just bough at the end of

last summer. I know it isn't the charger because I had two of them, both apple chargers but neither work. I even tried my friends apple charger and it didn't work.

Someone help me!

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), iOS 9.3

Have you tried a SMC reset?

If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

Ciao.

I Did try the reset with no luck. I'm planning on going to the Apple Store as soon as I get home, as I'm out of country right now.

"I went to charge it yesterday because the battery had died it wouldn't charge."

When you can, check the battery cycle count. The battery may need replacing > Determining battery cycle count for Mac notebooks

You might also check the adapter > Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters

incorrect, when you let the battery die, that is damage to the battery if you do that on a regular basis.
