MacBook Pro not charging when plugged in
Hi everyone,
I have a late-2016 MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar), I have been having it for 4 years, for the past few months, I have been noticing that when ever I plug in my Mac, it first says "Power Source: Power adapter; Battery is Not Charging". And then a few minutes later, it starts charging and shows the bolt symbol.
I have had an instance where the computer completely shut down, because of low battery and couldn't use it for a day, it just didn't charge at all, but later I was able to charge it. Now I am facing a different issue, when I unplug the computer it still says "Power Source: Power adapter; Battery is Not Charging"
I went to the apple service centre and he said we need to replace the battery. He didn't check anything on my laptop, didn't open and have a look I expected him to check the device and call me back, but immediately said I need to pay 24,000 INR (329$) to change the battery. I wanted to know if there is anyone facing the same issue and have rectified it without the need to change the battery.
Thank you
MacBook Pro
