Macbook pro

15-inch 2019

Processor: 2.6 GHz 6-core Intel core i7

Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 640 1536MB

Memory: 32 gb 2400 MHz DDR4

macOS Sonoma 14.0

I had a macbook that said service reccomended on the battery 

Important Battery Message

The battery’s capacity is significantly reduced. To restore capacity. Please check your service options.

Battery Condition Service reccomended

After replacing the battery my self and tried two different batteries i get the error PFM006 issue with SCM and PPT001 battery not recognized. I have tried resetting the SCM and throubleshooting, nothing seems to be working. I have an X in my battery and it dosn’t show the percentage of the battery. If i use not my original Macbook pro charger the computer just shuts down. How can i solve this?

So when i startup the mac the battery has an X in it, after logging in i can’t find the battery when i go to system setting i still get the service reccomended for the battery. WIth coconutBattery it dosn’t also recognize the battery. I can use the computer without a charger. 

Something weird that happens also is that if i connect a Satechi USB-C Multiport-adapter and my charger to that and try to connect i to my computer i just get a black screen, but the trackpad can be clicked. So if i want to use an extended screen i need to first connect my charger though one of my ports on my macbook then connect the Satechi USB-c Multiport-adapter otherwise the screen just goes black and nothing happens.

Any thought on how i can solve this. I tried with two new batteries and i have tried restarting PRAM and SMC, nothing seems to work.

Yea, understood.

But what about the issue that it won't recognize my old battery. The original one. Since the two I bought didn't work I wanted to check out if the old one would be recognized as is worked before I changed to the new batteries I bought, but the old one wouldn't either be recognized

Hard to speculate on your issue at a distance.

I do know those connectors are easily damaged coming off and going back on.

Try reseating the connector or take it in for assistance to some shop that does it day in and day out.

As it's limited where i can order batteries from to Norway.

I also tried to add back my old battery as I still have it. the one that I replaced and I'm getting the same issue. So the original battery. It wouldn't recognize it either, why do you think that happens?

well I am no expect on "AliExpress"— however seems questionable...no(?)
