The icon on my MacBook Pro shows that it is charging when it's not plugged in. Even when I plug the charger in, it doesn't charge.

Plug Icon on Battery when Plugged in? Hello all, I have been having problems recently where when I plug in my laptop to charge, I get this symbol on the battery icon and no charge. Sometimes it will eventually switch to the lightning symbol and the MacBook will charge, but sometimes not. Does anyone have any suggestions for why this is happening and how I can solve the issue? Thanks, David.

MacBook Pro 13 inch always battery icon always says charging even when not plugged in. For the past several days my MacBook battery icon says that it is charging even when not plugged in. I have shut the computer off and restarted it but it still says it. The charger isn't plugged in and this what it shows. Is it no big deal or could there be a bigger underlying problem?
