Hi all,
I've gotten an old 2015 15" macbook pro out and tried using it but when I try to charge it for a few hours, it doesn't seem to hold any charge and the computer won't start at all. It only shows a red battery icon with a lightning symbol when plugged in and my charger has an amber light the whole time. I'm using an 85W magsafe 1 charger connected through a magsafe 1 to 2 adapter (all genuine) and I can't get it to actually boot, even with the battery disconnected!
Anyone got any tips or has had a similar issue before? I'd appreciate any help since searching isn't really getting anywhere...
