New Battery, Condition: Replace Now

[Night_Wolf]

Hey guys, I have a brand new Macbook Pro retina 15", mid 2014.

I'm using it for 5-6 days so far, no problems, charged it on Thursday to 100%, turned it off and didn't use it on Friday.
On Saturday it won't turn on. Only when I plug in Magsafe it turns on. When I unplug Magsafe it turns off instantly.

Cycle count is 3 and it says "Replace now", even tho is brand new batter and Macbook.

Here is screenshot from power: http://prntscr.com/7mabpr

Tried every advice I could find on various forums, resetting SMC etc. nothing worked.

Thanks!

That looks to me that you got a defective battery. Since the computer is brand new, just bring it to an Apple Store, and Apple should repair or replace it for free under warrantee.

I've heard that it could be some part on battery or in macbook next to battery and that solution is just to pull out the battery and put it back, have you every heard a case like this? Macbook worked on battery properly for 5 days, then suddenly got messed up.

Don't try any DIY fixes - you will just void your warranty.

Get it booked in with Apple

If it says replace now, replace it. Don't do it yourself. The battery is glued to the case so getting it out will be a huge pain in the butt. Besides, it voids your warranty. Get an appointment with Apple to get them to replace it for you.
