    What do you guys do when your ONLY Mac needs to be service?

    As the title says, what do you guys do when your only useable Mac has to be returned to Apple/Apple Authorised Reseller for repairs and battery replacement? Service time may take 2-3 weeks. If you have a Windows computer, do you use it in the meantime? Or use your iPad, or iPhone? Buy a new...

    New Battery Health Management Feature

    I have a 2018 Macbook Pro 15". A week ago I got my battery replaced because it was swollen. I leave my MBP plugged in while I'm working and I unplug it when I turn it off. This has been the case for me for the past 1.5 years and that is why I had 29 cycles on my swollen battery. Since I got the...

    Mid 2012 MacBook Air - Trick SMC or logic board to use any custom battery. - 820-3209

    Hello, I'm wondering if there are some ways to hard wire or mod the logic board of a 13" Mid 2012 MacBook Air (820-3209) to boot from any custom made battery. Basically tricking the SMC to not validate the battery. I do not want to use SMC bypass since that will defeat the purpose and the...

    2017 MBP 13" Battery Draining/Not Sleeping When Lid Shut

    I've noticed this to varying degrees over the past few months: I would close my notebook, place it in its case, and keep it in my bag to travel to or from work. I may not use it for a day or two. When I wanted to resume work on the machine, let's say 36 hours later, the battery is depleted and I...

    I’ve got a pretty strange issue with my 2016 15” MacBook Pro w/Touch Bar. I’ve started to notice sometimes that when I open up my laptop after it’s been on the charger for a while, sometimes overnight, sometimes a couple of days, it acts like the battery has completely depleted. It has the black...

    Why did my MacBook came from 100% to 4% unused on a plane?

    I had my MacBook Air 2018 in a backpack on two flights, I haven't been using it for about 36h. I charged it to 100% before my flight. Today I opened it and it was 4%. How did it happen? Do planes somehow make batteries drain? I haven't heard anything about it. I hope my MacBook is alright.
