Hello. I am John Schindler.

I replaced the battery of my MacBook Pro today, but a 'service recommended' message appears.

In the Coconut Battery program, the battery life is 100% and there are no problems.

Is there any way to solve the symptom of this problem?

MacBook Air 13" Early 2015: Wont turn on after randomly turning off

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 04:00:55 -0700

Ive bought a macbook air A1466, used to have a macos device for messing with my older iphones.
Ive been using it for a month and a half and when i turned it on last morning it booted up, i entered my user password and went away. when i came back it was on the desktop and it randomly went blackscreen.
I thought it just fell asleep but pressing keys and touchpad nothing happened -it wont turn on anymore, no chime, no fan, nothing. I tried pram reset(but no apple logo when booting so didnt really work..), smc reset multiple times.
Unplugged battery, also took it mostly apart, put everything back, checked connectors.
Only issue is that the bluetooth-airport card's one of the connector wont go on, but that has been like that since i bought it and it worked. Also the screen has dark spots and light spots -probably liquid damage(some extra info). But liquid indicators arent red on the board or anywhere... but theyre yellow-ish..??
Also battery health was like 39% (in coconut battery), but as i said it worked completely fine before, and unplugging the battery from the board still didnt work. Magsafe charger is orange, but after a bit turns green.

What can i do to make the machine work again?

MacBook Pro 14" 2025 (M5): Corrosion on right connector. Next to HDMI

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 03:01:35 -0700

There seems to be some water damage on the right side usb-c connector. Is it possible to have it changed? Is it removable or does the logic board have to be completely changed. The corrosion is just on the connector pins on the outside.

iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 3068: Will this Adhesive tape hold, or should I reopen it and redo it?

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 01:56:17 -0700

Hello I have ordered the iMac 21,5 2017 HDD replacement kit. I replaced the HDD with a crucial SSD and cleaned off the old adhesive and with isopropal cloths aswell.

Turns out iFixit sent me one too many adhesive stripes of the same type and left the other one out. Iam missing the 02 adhesive strip and have the 01 adhesive strip two times.

I have now cut it in proper form and was wondering if I would have to redo this job once ifixit will provide replacement.

I couldnt leave it open and the glass laying around as I got a little kid at home.

here are some Images:

looking forward to your replies. I really dont want to do this again. It seems like it would only be 2/3% of the adhesive strip missing, I personally think its fine as it will stand on a desk and be rarely touched.

Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro 14" Late 2024 M4: Screen Replaced, But Wifi and Bluetooth stopped working

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 05:06:19 -0700

I have MacBook Pro M4 A3112.(Nov'24). this is my first Macbook.

Initially display screen had some damage, so got the screen replaced and i notice both Wifi and Bluetooth has stopped working.

I took back to the repair guy who helped to replace the screen, but he has no clue why Wifi and Bluetooth are not working.

please find the attached the screenshots and photos I took as part of initial diagnosis I could do.

Please advise, what could be the issue and how to resolve this ?

Thanks

Hi @danj

I did reformat whole Macbook and reinstalled OS. Seems issue still persists.

I connected the MacBook to my router using Rj45 cable with the help of connector so I can access wired network connection to internet.

However I tried to do offline diagnostic and I got the error CNW001 . Have attached screenshot.

Power charger wasn't connected to macbook when I ran the diagnostic so the error PPP020 can be ignored in the image here, as I see the MacBook is working fine when charger is connected.

Let me know what option i have to resolve this CNW001 error.

I am using wired connection for Internet for now, not a substantial solution.

Thanks

I used an Ethernet cable and was able to connect to internet.

The pic was taken with ethernet cable on !

MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Early 2011: Charging and Boot Issue

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 15:03:14 -0700

I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch Early 2011. I installed a battery in it, but when I connect the charger, the MagSafe LED turns green, and the MacBook emits a repeating sound approximately every half second. At the same time, a white LED turns on and off repeatedly, and the MacBook does not start.

However, if I disconnect the charger, then press and hold the power button, and while holding it reconnect the charger, then release the power button after a few seconds, the MacBook powers on normally. The problem is that the fan runs at a very high speed, and the green MagSafe LED turns off, although the charger continues to power the MacBook.

I would appreciate it if someone could explain the cause of this issue.

Thank you very much.

Here is the screenshot as requested.

Please note that the MacBook does have a battery installed 😢

MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Late 2013: Computer unexpectedly shutting down after battery replacement

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 00:26:53 -0700

I recently replaced my battery with an ifixit battery. I calibrated the battery per the instructions, but the computer is unexpectedly shutting down while I still have significant battery life remaining (i.e. 62%). It will restart immediately and will sometimes run for a decent amount of time and sometimes shut down again immediately. It seems to run fine while plugged into the power adapter.

MacBook Pro 14" 2021: Can I replace or fix the microphone?

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 09:59:42 -0700

The microphone on my M1 Macbook Pro is very muffled.

After some investigation, I'm fairly sure the problem is a blocked grille. But it's hard to identify which (if any) of the hundreds of dimples on the left-hand side are actual holes and therefore need cleaning. Is there any information on this?

MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports Late 2020: MacBook 2020 battery stuck at 1% after repair (battery data problems?)

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 05:25:11 -0700

A few months ago the battery died and I replaced it. Unfortunately the repair did not work. When I turn on the Macbook the fans come on full power, and the battery claims to be at 1% with "Service Recommended." There was a brief moment where the battery was detected a few weeks later, but after a factory reset (I bought the laptop off a friend), it has returned to being stuck at 1%.

The Macbook turns on only when it is plugged in, but if I unplug it while it's on, it can stay on for hours (with the fan working at full speed).

Here's what I've done so far:

1. Tried a whole bunch of combinations of draining and then recharging the battery, restarting in recovery mode, etc.
2. Tried two other battery data cables from seemingly reputable companies - I even tried a tape trick to try for a better connection, it did nothing in my case
3. Got a second replacement battery from ifixit (they kindly sent one for free)

So far, none of these attempts have made a difference.

To me, it seems to be an issue with the data transfer from the battery to the rest of the computer, but I think I've ruled out a good number of culprits. Usually, I'm able to figure these problems out on my own, but not this time. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Mac Desktop: Looking for the best Mac Ad Blocking solution {JUSTICE HAS PREVAILED}

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 00:02:51 -0700

I am having more and more of my customers come in believing they have viruses. They are almost stopped from web browsing because of pop-up ads. Most have MacKeeper installed. What I am looking for is the best ad blocking software. What have you tried and how effective is it?

UPDATE 5/19/15

This problem is becoming much greater with my customers. The anti-virus programs are not blocking sites like "pchelpandsupport.biz" which locks up Safari. Anyone have better suggestions on preventing this kind of attack?

Apple wired aluminum keyboard (extended): Apple Extended Keyboard Repair Advice

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 23:11:58 -0700

I have an Apple Extended Keyboard, which works pretty well, except for the W key.

If I apply very little force, it sometimes does not work, maybe two out of ten strokes. If I apply excessive force, it works every time.

What is the recommended way to troubleshoot this type of issue? I removed the keycap, but didn't see anything obvious, such as signs of spilled liquid or excessive grime.

MacBook Pro 16" 2021: Machine will not power on - charge light pulses

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 11:43:31 -0700

My kiddo has my old Macbook Pro 16" 2021. They came home from school the other day and opened it up, with no response. They tried plugging it into a charger, but it still wouldn't turn on. Now, the charger they were using was apparently a little chromebook charger... I plugged it in with magsafe to the charger that came with it--the light came on green. I tried holding the power button down for 10 seconds, but the only thing that happened was that the green on the charger turned off, then went to orange. I tried pressing the power button to no avail. After a little bit (maybe 30 seconds?) the charge light smoothly turned off for about a second, then turned back on. This pattern repeated until I unplugged it and plugged it back in. Every time I tried to power it on, I got this pulse pattern, orange on for awhile, short off, back orange for a shorter time, then back to short off, short orange.

I left it plugged in overnight, and the light changed to green at some point, no pulsing. when I tried to turn it on, still nothing on the screen, no caps lock light, no trackpad clicking, but the charge light turned off for a short bit (1s?), then orange for a little longer (10s?) then back to green, which held for about 30s before flipping to off, then orange again, then back to green.

Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong? I'll probably try taking it to the apple store, but it's out of warranty and I suspect all I'll get from them is the "yup, we can send it in for a $700 diagnostic fee."

Retina MacBook 2016: Little yellow button on logic board - what is it?

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 11:55:53 -0700

MacBook Retina 12" Early 2016

My MacBook doesn‘t turn on after SMC reset. I've found on Apple pages that this can happen if you reset the SMC without your MacBook connected to its AC power adapter. I've also tried PRAM and SMC reset and nothing.

Black screen, no charging sound and battery picture when connecting to power supply.

I wonder what is this little yellow button on logic board for? Do any of you have a problem like me?

Does anybody know location of power on pads?
