MacBook Pro 2014 15’ won’t charge, turns off immediately after disconnecting charger, MagSafe cord is always orange unless I do smc reset in which it turn green until it turn back on then goes back the orange. Pressing show battery status in system preferences immediately un-checks itself.

It’s running Catalina, i did smc reset, pram reset, nvram, I sat on the power brick, I shook the MacBook, I left it charging all night, and nothing, still won’t charge, like I said it does turn on plugged in.

Also some apps feel slow, (maybe that’s just my problem)



The Mac has 16 gb ram and 500 ssd



Battery information

For some background I got it at a thrift store, so I don’t know what previous owner might have done, but it turns on and works while connected to charger

I think the battery has failed.
8 years is a fairly long time for a battery.
Replace it.
(Your MBPro will clock down (slower performance) when the battery removed -- and your MBPro does not seem to "see" the battery at all)
