Hello iFixit Community.I replaced my original battery from my A1398 Macbook Pro few months back.I am always using my laptop with the power plugged so battery is not really used.3 days ago the MBP was not able to power on. I tried a different charger and it eventually did. But the ifixit battery was not recognized. It showed an X over the battery. And the system was running suuuuper slow.I plugged off the battery and tried to reset SMC and other things that I found here or on ther forums. But the battery is not recognized at all!!Tried the coconutBattery as many suggest, but it showed nothing! Eventually i was forced to put back in the original battery which it is recognized to be able to work on the laptop.Does it seem as a faulty battery replacement?Does anyone else have an idea?Do I get a replacement of my purchase from iFixit for the faulty part?Thank you!JohnEDIT 1/Here is a screenshot of my current, old, battery. THIS IS NOT THE REPLACEMENT!
Good! So while your old battery is over the hill with 1,657 we can also see the charging logic is working! So the new battery you got from iFixit is bad if you don’t seen any battery data points. Contact iFixit iFixit Customer Support to arrange a replacement battery.
