Hi Everyone, Ok so my 13” MacBook was working great until I turned it on this morning. Came to log in page, typed my password then went to get my coffee, came back and laptop was off. Tried turning it on again and was unresponsive. Tried SMC and PRAM, nothing. Then it started up randomly but switched off at log in screen. Then turned on again but off at apple screen. Let it sit for a while, tried again and same process happened. Now what is weird is the USB ports all have power as if the laptop is on, but nothing else. I have to hold the power button for the USB ports to loose power and the laptop be totally off. Battery is 97% charged. Just tried one last time and the laptop came on, logged in and I got maybe 3 min of use from it before it randomly turned off again! Desperately need my laptop and just wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what this might be? I have recently (1 month) replaced my logic board. However this seems more like a power management problem? thanks
I think that it is a problem with the battery, but with the laptop that you have, even though the battery is a little hard to replace, I’d still suggest replacement. Here is the guide for it: MacBook Pro 13’ Retina Mid 2014 Battery Replacement
