My macbook pro battery is not charging

Hello there! I first would like to thank you for putting this out there, I am trying it as we speak. I have tried absolutely everything after the machine was brought to me (I am a tech, so I fix laptops, smart phones, game consoles etc. I have to admit that I haven’t worked on many MacBook laptops in my career, I am mostly a smart phone repair person whether it be hardware or software. So I appreciate anybody that puts their information out there and shares with the world. But that being said, I do have a question. I just changed the battery in a MacBook Pro 13 inch, model A2289. When it first arrived, it was completely dead and would not turn on no matter what. So I changed the battery, and I used an aftermarket offbrand. At first, her machine was still on Catalina because she hadn’t used it in a couple of years. So the battery was charging just fine. I had no issues and then it automatically updated to macOS Sonoma after the update, it now will not take a charge no matter what I’ve tried. I’ve reset the SMC multiple times, and it’s still not working. I found your answer, and I am trying it now. It has died, it’s not plugged in, and the low battery indicator pops up when you try to turn it on, but it doesn’t turn on fully. I was wondering what I do to further drain the battery since I can’t turn on any longer because it doesn’t turn on at all. Or should I just sit here and wait the 20 minutes like you advised? I think you in advance for any help you can provide, have a wonderful day!

The battery to my computer is not charging at all as only at 75% yesterday I got to like 80 that’s the max but I think the day that it turned off completely because my computer froze completely. It messed up the battery so I don’t know what to do.

Omg this totally worked and saved me a trip to IT. Thank you!!

This is a lifesaver. I can't believe it worked! How the heck did you figure out this fix? And do you have to keep doing it?

I’m in the exact same situation. Stuck!

None of this worked for me, would welcome other opinions.

Disregard my last post, I figured it out, and it worked like a charm!!! I am so happy thank you so so so so so so much!!!

Thank you very much for this advise, My Mac was not turning on after I put it charge and I tried for several days and I use your advise "Reset the SMC" and it worked.

Thank you very much for saving me a trip to the apple store.
