So my daughters MacBook 13in is doing a weird "not charging" again.

It did this some time ago but seemed to come right, but alas has started doing it again. Battery state of health is within the norms for its age and amount of use.

we live in Christchurch and so wondered if anyone knew of a good business here that could at least look at it and make some recommendations.

I have been talking to a company in Auckland but am hesitate to send it up although she doesn't have original packaging for it.

Thanks

I did that last time approx 7 mths ago, do you think its worth doing that again.

It's weird that this morning she said it wouldn't charge so i have it sitting on the bench plugged in with the same cable in the same port and it seems to be working.

Which Macbook is it? Is it USB-C charging?

Also have you tried a different charger?

One thing to note is that with recent macOS updates, sometimes the battery won't charge right away when you plug it in (part of the Battery Health feature).

I don't know if that applies to older MacBooks with non-USB-C charging though.
