What to Do:

Use another computer, in the meantime, if you are taking a test. Ask a friend, or peer, if you may use theirs, if you do not have another computer handy.

A. Please Clarify:

  • Did you install an update?
  • Have you had battery issues before?
  • Has this Mac been serviced recently?
  • What were you working on when this happened?


B. Try a New Charger:

If it is charing from an external device, then use a new charger:
