    Macbook (12'') won't charge

    Hi everyone! I have a 2017 Macbook (1.2 GHz M3, 8 Gb RAM) and my charger broke. I made due with my phone charger and it was working fine (as in: it wouldn't charge my Mac but kept my battery percentage stable while working, and at night it would charge back to 100%). Over the last few days that...

    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...

    Just bought another cMP 5,1 Server (Mid 2012) Quad-Core (single CPU). When I first plugged the power cable in it started automatically before I even hit the power button. All good, so I upgraded the firmware from the original 7F to 89, then popped a RX 580 in and upgraded to 144.0.0.0.0, but...

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.

    iPhone iOS 13.3, High "Screen Off" time on battery while charging overnight

    Has anyone ever seen this before? While my iPhone 11 on iOS 13.3 is plugged in and charging overnight, the "Screen Off" time is basically spiked to 100% every hour that it is charging. Not sure what's going on here. I have not power cycled the phone yet but I will probably try that next.
