I'm getting crazy since that machine is my main work tool.

Now we are waiting another freaking 4-5 days to get the logic board. THey say at Apple Service retailer that could be Logic Board, but does that even make sense? Could a MBP still be on and working if logic board is damaged? I mean, the machine never got turned off, it was alive until battery drained out.

Now issue is they asked warranty Magsafe piece, the installed it but machine still not turning on. (at this point the MBP was still on, with 5% battery or so).Īfter class, I took the MBP to an official Apple Service center, they told me it was the 'Magsafe' (like an internal little board that allows power from charger to battery?) and the charger, both of them seemed to be damaged. I asked to my students for a different charger (thinking it was a charger issue) but trying 2 different ones, still light didn't turned on, so I thought it was an internal hardware issue. I thought it was an issue with the power, I changed the place but the MBP was not receiving any power. Then after 20 min aprox, we had an hour off the auditorium, and when we got back, I connected the machine again, but this time I noticed the light in the charger didn't work. I didn't notice if it started charging or not, I just trusted it would. I was running out of battery (about 20%) so I decided to plug my MBP to one of those connectors. I was giving a class, in a 200 people auditorium, and there were lots of power extensions and cables for everyone to connect their laptops while the class. I realize this thread is old but I was going to make my own thread to share this experience but figure its better to not make another thread on this subject and just add my opinion here.Hi everyone. Although I have read some possible ways to remedy this, I have also read other reports of those who cannot fix the issue, and their MacBook becomes worthless.

As I'm sure most of you know this update BRICKED (ruined) some of these models. I did not test other parts of the system or programs, there may have been other issues, but I wasn't going to put up with the App Store issue. Had to revert back to Catalina and leave my computer on for over a week to repopulate the people section of photos (I have 40,000 photos) amongst some other nonsense time consuming issues. I researched and tried the fixes I could find with no luck. The App Store would not load after the upgrade. I did so reluctantly after reading success from others, my system was fine and stable but I wanted some of the new features.

I personally would not upgrade to Big Sur (again). I have a nearly new MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013 / 2.6 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 / 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3). However, battery life can vary depending on 'real-world' use as the above tests soundly demonstrate. I love Best Buy for helping me with every large purchase, from Computers and Dishwashers to Monitors (TVs) and Microwaves. Ultimately, Apples battery life estimates for the 13-Inch and 15-Inch 'Late 2013' and 'Mid-2014' Retina Display MacBook Pro models definitely are reasonable, and perhaps even are underestimated. I'm not sure about some rules here but when it comes to tech these days (and home appliances) I've been doing the Best Buy pay overtime plans. Summary, don't update to Big Sur unless Apple makes you and hopefully by then your finances will have settled. Their prevention was almost like seeing actor Wayne Knight in his Jurassic Park role on the computer screens waving his little finger at me. Apple even prevented me from using Safari. Ultimately it met its maker when I could no longer update individual pieces. I did everything I could to make sure I squeezed every drop of possible usage even installing the max Ram (which was not much.)

My first big desktop Mac from that time period is still sitting on the floor of my middle bedroom. I have been using a Mac since about 2008 and I still consider myself a Mac Newbie.
