Charge MacBook pro

My Macbook Pro ran out of charge yesterday, the battery was at 5%, I closed the screen and left it, today I put it on charge and it simply won't charge and won't turn on. It should be noted that this is the second MacBook Pro with the same problem. The first one was also the same way and to this day it doesn't charge or turn on.


MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.5

You MAY be able to recover by connecting the power adapter and just leaving it for a while, like overnight. If it is not completely ruined, it may trickle-charge enough to make recovery possible. Then try to power on, and if all is working, the computer might initiate a charge cycle if it can. The computer-controlled charge circuits can be activated ONLY if the battery is made stable by a small amount of charge.


Otherwise, your Mac needs service, likely including a US$250 battery replacement and possibly additional parts.
