Sorry for the cryptic answer. A very techy friend rebuilt it. This guy knows his stuff so no doubts for his work.

I had at least the browser open, if not more, when I shut the lid. I am not computer illiterate but know no next to nothing about Apple/ Mac. If I could take it back to him, I would. Hanging my head. But that is not an option.

Since noon today I had it on charge. Still dead.

Until now?


There is absolutely nothing wrong with closing the lid on a portable Mac and leaving it that way, unplugged, for weeks at least. A year or more, maybe not. But you did nothing wrong.


As for your techy friend... let the facts speak for themselves.
