MacBook Not Charging at All
Plugged in but battery percentage stays flat or battery indicator shows no charge — could be port, cable, battery, or charging IC on logic board.
MacBook Shows "Not Charging" in Menu Bar
macOS shows connected but "Not Charging" — common on USB-C models when the charging circuit or battery has faulted.
Charging Only on One Side
USB-C MacBook only charges from one port. Usually a faulty USB-C port controller on one side of the logic board.
MagSafe Light Not Coming On
MagSafe connector connects but amber or green LED doesn't illuminate — check the cable first, then port, then board.
Battery Draining While Plugged In
MacBook battery depletes even when charger is connected under load — insufficient charging current, often a charging IC fault.

How much does MacBook not charging repair cost?
Charging port repair from $149. Battery replacement from $179 (Air) or $219 (Pro). Logic board charging IC repair quoted after diagnosis. Free diagnostic before any work.
Can you fix a MacBook that only charges from one USB-C port?
