Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

My MacBook Air suddenly shut down and will only power on if plugged in. The batter status is NORMAL. What can I do to restore battery?

My MacBook Air shut off without warning and now runs only if connected to power cord. It will not charge. The battery status is "normal"
