My MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) is about three months in use.
I was charging it all the time with the rear port on the left side, just because I was used to this position for years now, with my previous MacBooks. About three days ago I noticed that it doesn't take charge on this port, so I used the front port on the left side and it is charging fine. At that night I put it to sleep by closing the lid as usual (the battery was on 100% charge) and noticed the next morning that the battery was drained completely. Same the next day. Yesterday I tried something else and put it to sleep via the Menu. This morning battery was drained again, 4% charge left.
Note:
1. There is nothing connected to the MBP at night. No USB device, time machine is disabled etc., I turned WiFi off as well.
2. The top left port is also not accepting any other USB device, ie. external HD, or charging/connecting with my iPhone or iPad.
What I have tried so far:
1. I reset the SMC twice
2. I reset the NVRAM as well
3. I run the Apple Hardware Test (saying its all fine)
I also noticed that the system report is showing only three USB bus, but I don't know if that is normal or not:
Interesting is also the iStats Power usage display for the last 24hours. As can be clearly seen there was no usage for about 10 hours or so. That was the time the MBP was on sleep during the night. Still the battery was at 100% when put to sleep and about 4% this morning:
Unfortunately I am living in a small country and there is no Apple Store with Genius Bar that I can visit to check.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
