Intel MacBook Pro 2020 wont charge

EtreCheck report

My 2020 MacBook Pro suddenly wont charge. The battery icon has the lightning bolt but when I click on it, it says “Battery not charging”. I have tried multiple official apple 61W Usb C chargers as well as cables. I have also tried all 4 of the ports. I also tried resetting the SMC to no avail. Battery health says normal and there is only about 260 cycles on the battery.


I will try and include the EtreCheck report.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble charging your MacBook Pro. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

  1. Make sure that the charger and cable are securely connected to your MacBook Pro and to a working power outlet.
  2. Try using a different power outlet or a different charger or cable to see if that resolves the issue.
  3. Make sure that your MacBook Pro is not in a low-power mode, which can prevent it from charging. To do this, press the power button to turn on your MacBook Pro.
  4. Check for any debris or damage to the charging port on your MacBook Pro, as well as to the charging cable and charger itself.
    • Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your MacBook Pro by following these steps:Shut down your MacBook Pro
    • Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds
    • Release the power button
    • Wait a few seconds, then press the power button again to turn on your MacBook Pro

If these steps don't help, it's possible that there is a hardware issue with your MacBook Pro that is preventing it from charging. In this case, you may need to have it serviced by an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple. You can find a service provider near you by visiting the Apple Support website and searching for "service providers" in your area.
