Sometimes my MacBook will shut off for no reason, and then it won't charge anymore. It takes a lot of effort to get it to start charging again, but I don't get it. I don't know what's wrong with it. It just started happening randomly, I don't know what to do. It's under warranty, but I wanted to see if anyone else was having this problem as well? If there's any quick fixes please let me know! Help please :(

Either the power-supply or the battery went bad. If you have a friend with the same computer, see if you can swap the parts and watch what happens.

But if it's under warranty, take advantage of it. You paid for that luxury.
