USB-C charger and battery level not showing. Ack.
Argh!!!!! I am so angry. Like many posting on here, I am *already* well-versed and tech-savvy about Apple specific products, so I am tearing my hair out over this one.
I have a MacBook Pro, late 2016, running 10.13.2; 16GB of RAM and 750GB free space of 1 TB HDD. I keep my Mac (guts, software, cache in tip-top shape) I am super-p*ssed. Out of the blue, my battery indicator in upper right no longer works / charging not working.
As always, I plug my Mac in at night to charge while I am asleep. This morning, I noticed that it was at 22% after a full night of charging. (I am sure it usually charges from low-teens to 100% in an hour or two anyway.) So, I figured maybe I had a bad cord or something. I tried TWO different Apple brand 87W USB-C power adapters (yes, of course, I own two) as well as several different USB-C cords (Apple brand and other). I have NEVER had a problem. Well, nothing worked.
At best, the battery indicator in upper left of ribbon which shows "22% <battery symbol>" would change so that the battery symbol shows a lightning bolt, indicating plugged in... BUT IT DOES NOT TURN BLACK with lightning bolt to indicate it is charging. ACK!!! 😠
And yes, I tried SMC reset (that only frustrated me more as I had to redo Touch ID).
So, I scheduled a call like a dope, from the Apple Support app on my iPhone 8 Plus. This should not happen to my device. No no no no. Bad Apple. Bad bad bad. Make this right. Send me a new Mac TODAY. Super p*ssed.
Anyone else with WORKING IDEAS?
Since this issue a couple hours ago, I have googled and checked Apple Support on here and see I am not the only one with a fudged up USB-C MacBook Pro super-dang-expensive machine. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
