Why won't my MacBook charge when plugged in?

There could be several reasons for your MacBook not charging. This could be due to issues with the charger or cable, dust or debris in the charging port, a faulty battery, or software issues. It's essential to identify the exact cause to find the right solution.

How can I fix a MacBook that won't charge?

Some potential solutions include checking your charger and cable for damage, cleaning your charging port, trying a different charger, resetting the System Management Controller (SMC), and checking the health of your battery. If these steps don't work, you may need professional help.

How can I check the health of my MacBook's battery?

You can check the health of your MacBook's battery by clicking on the Apple icon in the top left corner, then selecting "About This Mac" > "System Report" > "Power". If the condition listed is anything other than "Normal", you might need to replace your battery.

What does it mean if my MacBook's battery condition is listed as "Service Recommended"?

If your MacBook's battery condition is listed as "Service Recommended", this means your battery is significantly less capable than when it was new, and you should consider replacing it. You can continue to use your battery before it's checked without harming your computer.

Can I replace the battery in my MacBook myself?

While it's technically possible to replace a MacBook battery yourself, it's generally not recommended unless you have experience with electronics repair. Incorrectly replacing a battery could cause damage to your MacBook. It's best to bring your MacBook to ProFix for repair.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came in looking to have a screen replaced/repair every other shop in the area told me it would take two days minimum. I stopped by profix and was offered numerous solutions with one of them guaranteeing the work being done in a MAXIMUM of two hours. I was even offered a loaner phone while the work took place.

UPDATE - My phone was having issues with the back part coming off and I came in to have it looked at after the gentleman took a look he got it fixed for me within less than 10 mins and of no charge as well. I highly recommend this business for all your cell phone needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I shattered my work i-pad screen and google suggests 3-5 days to get it repaired at the i-store for which I couldn't go without my i-pad for that long.  I took it into ProFix and he had it fixed in like 5hours.  Was so happy to get it back that fast.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Feel very fortunate to have found ProFix after my son's phone hit the ground and cracked the screen. They walked me through the options, suggested best course of action to ensure we didn't lose data, apps etc, quoted me a very fair price and had it fixed in 30 mins.
