I used my MacBook Air yesterday and it ran out of battery. When I plugged it in it did not recognise the charger and the symbol “plug to charge” was showing whilst already plugged in (I tried multiple chargers). And then the keypad stopped working and the screen has not turned back on since
MacBook Air 13″
My battery ran down and I couldn’t get it to power on or charge with the magnetic charger. My MacBook Air will also charge via the USBC port next to the magnetic charger. Worked liked a charm. Nothing was wrong, it was just stuck in some weird sleep/battery life support mode. Don’t know why Apple doesn’t include that information in their troubleshooting!
