Q: Laptop won't charge - tried SMC reset
I tried the SMC reset; it didn't work. It's charging intermittently, but when it does, sometimes i'll move my laptop slightly and it will just shut down instantly. I went into the Power tab to see what I could find-- it says the AC charger is not plugged in, but it is?
