Yesterday, I bought a MacBook Pro 2017 13" 128GB SSD 8GB RAM. A1708
The seller told me honestly the MBP only works with charger connected.
This morning I was able to freshly install Ventura 13.7.1
Unlike battery shows 100%, when charger is detached, the MBP switches off immediately. Now, in the afternoon, the MBP switches off 5 seconds after login, even refuses to startup hereafter. The battery indicator shows sometimes 100 with charge flash in the icon, I also saw one time the battery icon changing percentage from 0 to 100, and then switching off.
Immediately after typing in my password in the login screen, while going to the desktop, it switches off.
Seller told me the only problem was and is that MBP only works with charger connected and I've tried both Thunderbolt connectors. Fair enough.
Seller also told me a new display has been installed, and more important, a new battery.
I performed a SMC reset without result.
When booting, it sometimes asks me to change my password. On declining, the screen goes black. After 5 seconds it returns for a second after pressing spacebar, which to me looks like the battery is completely empty, charging, and going to sleep again while battery is still close to 0%.
Anyone?
