Question marked as
I'm having this same issue on my MacBook Air (2018), but maybe something works on your Mac that didn't work on mine. I'll list down every possible solution that I am aware of and hopefully something works:
- Resetting SMC (Intel-Macs only) - Reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support
- Resetting NVRAM - Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
- Holding the power button for 10 seconds with no power cable attached (If your Mac starts up to a blank screen - Apple Support)
- Holding the power button for 10 seconds while reconnecting the power cable without letting go of the power button.
- Changing your power cable (newer MagSafe-compatible Macs also support USB-C charging).
- Using Apple Configurator with another Mac that supports USB-C - How to revive or restore Mac firmware - Apple Support
- You could also try letting your laptop sit still for a few days without charging it—I've heard that fixed the issue for other people.
Maybe the problem is as simple as a dead battery, but if none of the above works then I recommend taking your laptop to an Apple-certified service provider as they will diagnose the problem for you.
Hope this helps!
P.S. I recommend getting an external hard drive (if you don't already have one) to make sure your important files are always backed up.
