You'd better make Genius Bar appointment to ask about circumstances you face with now.

Hi all,

I have a 2014 13" MacBook Pro Retina. When plugged in, it charges but the orange light is dim but the green light is not dim. I have tried other power adapters and it is still the case. The AC adapter also gets quite hot. Is this a bad DC board? Or something else? I have tried an SMC reset.

 

Thanks

Very well could be the DC board. The charging lites are informed by the board

Take it in
