MacBook Pro 2014 not charging - SMC reset helps

My MacBook is no longer charging (no green led on MagSafe adapter). I can fix the problem by resetting SMC but the problem occurs right after I unplug MagSafe again.


Any idea for a persistent fix?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.6

Check battery health

You can check the health of your battery in Battery preferences or the Battery status menu:

  • In macOS Big Sur or later, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click Battery, select Battery in the sidebar, then click Battery Health.
  • In macOS Catalina or earlier, hold the Option key and click the battery icon in the menu bar to reveal the battery status menu.

You'll see one of the following status indicators:

  • Normal: The battery is functioning normally. 
  • Service Recommended: The battery's ability to hold charge is less than when it was new or it isn't functioning normally. You can safely continue to use your Mac but you should take it to an Apple Store or Apple-authorized service provider to get your battery evaluated.

To get service on your battery, contact Apple.
