Hello,

i've bought a battery for my late 2013 retina macbook pro on ifixit, after replacing the old one (which was working fine, just swollen) the computer detects the battery at 19% but says to replace it, it doesn't charge and when i disconnect magsafe it goes off. The charger has orange light, i've already tried to reset smc and pram and it didn't help, also i've tried to reconnect old battery and it was working fine, when connected the new one back it does the same thing.

How can i fix this? could it be a defective battery? Thanks

Also i’ve installed coconut and it shows this:

Need activation code

My brother is looking for a laptop, preferrably apple because of iphone etc, for his wife. Just wondering what you guru's recommend as my most up to date is a maxed out a1181 xx

Alright, I need to bring What do we classify as "not repair related"? up again. I’ve been told that must of my content on this site is not repair related. Jeff Suovanen (@jeffsu) sent me a kind email the other day about my guides .

I agree that these following guides aren’t related to repair & should be deleted

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Enab...

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+inst...

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+play...

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Create+a+Sh...

This guide is duplicate and can be archived/deleted

However these guides (reasons provided) are related to repair & resurrecting a broken device in some ways

This one is a no brainer, it’s an iMac stand replacement guide

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+...

This one pertains to repair because it gives you information on if your iPhone’s battery needs replacing or not

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+test...

This one also pertains to repair in the same way above but for Macs. This is my “prized possession” as it is the guide I most frequently reference.

This one pertains to repair in the same way above but for iPads

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+test...

This guide is questionable. It’s not about repair but rather a technique to keep aging Macs out of the trash. It’s my attempt at saving the earth & spreading DosDude1’s incredible patch tool

These following SMC & PRAM/NVRAM guides pertain to repair because they can resurrect a dead Mac in some cases

My other question is that if iFixit is a strictly repair related site why do we have this Software category? Isn’t that not repair related? Why are my guides not repair related & somehow that category is classified as repair related? I'm a bit baffled on that one.

I have cloned most of the guides on my banned account over to this account for now. The cloned guides are private (for now) so we don’t have duplicate guides hanging around. Could someone either make these guides private or delete them? I still have to go through and clone my other guides so please don’t delete all of the guides on my banned account, delete only the ones listed here.

Thank you!

I’m considering flagging all of those gudies with the request for deletion flag but I don’t want that to cause an impact on my banned account’s rep.

Yes I received a rca tablet and DVD combo as a gift but wife open before I came home threw everything away expect the tablet DVD combo so I have no way to prove I bought this should I just throw this away .
