The USB-C Ports on my Macbook Pro 2019 have stopped working.
They have been temperamental for the past year
however 1 has now fully stopped, and the other one is a touch and go - which obviously does not help as this is the only way to charge my laptop.
I have only been using the laptop charger given when receiving the laptop and have purchased all other adapters needed off the Apple website or an approved supplier such as Belkin. I also use the iphone usb-c charger for my phone which came from Apple.
I read online that I could rest the SMC? Would this make a difference if it's the port? If I continue, do I need to back up my laptop?
Has anyone had this issue/know what the cost for repair would be? Obviously a vital part of the laptop.
Thanks in advance!
