I have a 13" MBP, and the symptoms are the following, some are very weird. I hope someone met these before. Bit complex story.
Back in early 2018, I poured a glass of water on my MBP (starts good, i know), which made it turn off naturally. But I took it to a repair shop very quickly and they picked it apart and fixed it, removing corrosion and stuff. Fortunately, with a battery replacement it was fixed, and worked perfectly for more than 1 and a half years. Then the following happened:
Out of the blue, it turned from charging into not charging, then charging again and not charging again, cycling between these two by itself for like half am inute, and then stopped charging entirely. I tried resetting SMC, but it didnt help, so the computer slowly discharged and died.
When I tried plugging it in, it didnt give any reaction, when I plugged it in and tried turning it on, it told me to plug it in. After a while, when it was even more discharged i guess, it died completely. A week later I took it to a repair guy. He measured the current taken by the laptop, and it was fine, so he reset the SMC and it started charging. Weird. He said that maybe there was a problem in the power control unit, and it was reset entirely when the battery lost power entirely during this one week. It worked somewhat fine after this, with the following problems present:
Sometimes when I plug it in, it says Battery Not Charging, Power Source: Power Adapter.
In these cases, most of the time if I unplug and re-plug it, it fixes the problem.
In some other occasions, I have to plug the USB-C end upside down (even though I know its supposed to work both ways), and it only charges then.
In again other occasions, neither of these help, so i turn it off and do an SMC reset, and then its back to normal again
Now yesterday, the same problem happened again, that it stopped charging altogether, and discharged and died.
Have you guys met such problem before? I dont know what to do with it. I was told its virtually impossible that its the corrosion/water damage that got to it, given that 1.5 years have passed since that happened.
Thanks a lot
