Why does my brand new MacBook Pro say it needs a battery replacement and is not charging? I just bought a new Mac today and it is saying when I check the battery that it’s condition is replace now and won’t charge.

Replaced a battery in a late 2008 MacBook Pro. Replaced a battery in a late 2008 MacBook Pro. Battery won't charge and battery condition iust says 'replace now' which I have. Any clues? Tried restarting, running diagnostics (that didn't work). Press and held power for 5 while abttery out. That didn't work.

MacBook Pro battery replacement didn't work I have an oldish 12" Macbook Pro A1708. It was having battery issues for a while - would say it was charged but then the battery would die after 5 minutes of use. After a while, it wouldn't even start up when plugged in to power - it just showed the dead battery icon on a black screen. So I bought a new battery and replaced the old one, but I'm still getting the same dead battery icon on the screen as if the battery was never replaced. Tried 2 different power supplies, so that's probably not the issue. It seems there's one of 4 possibilities: The replacement battery was no good. Unlikely, but possible. I installed it incorrectly. I think this is pretty unlikely too - I disconnected and reinstalled it again to be sure. There's some trick I'm unaware of to get the new battery to be recognized. There's a power management hardware issue that needs to be fixed. Any ideas or suggestions welcome! I don't think getting the unit serviced is an option since I don't want to put more money into it when they are going for around $250 on ebay. Thanks

If you just got it, I would not try anything before taking it back. You only have 14 days for a no-questions-ask refund so I would not waste time trying to fix something that appears to be a factory fault.
