MacBook not charging: the most common causes
On this page
- Faulty charger or cable: a damaged USB-C cable or an unsuitable charger.
- Dirty or damaged USB-C port: dust, worn contact, forced connector.
- Battery at the end of its life: very short battery life, casing that swells, service message.
- Water damage: the charging circuit is often the first to be hit.
- Charging circuit on the board: the charger is fine but the board no longer manages the power.
To check before you come
- Test another charger and another cable of the same power.
- Try the other USB-C ports if your model has several.
- Check whether the charger gets abnormally hot or the port contains dirt.
- If the casing swells or the trackpad lifts, stop using and charging the device: the battery is damaged.
What we do
- Free diagnosis: charger, port, battery and consumption.
- Replacement of the USB-C connector or the battery if needed. See connector repair.
- Microsoldering when the charging circuit is the cause.

Before you come to the workshop: what to know
For a quick diagnosis, bring the MacBook and its original charger, with the cable. Note whether the charger light comes on, whether the port is damaged or dirty and whether the battery swells. These details help us target the fault from the start.
The charger and cable are the first suspects: bringing them with the device lets us test them directly and avoid changing a part needlessly.

Is my data at risk?
A charging fault does not affect your files. If the device no longer starts, see data recovery.
