Macbook pro battery not charging

Hi I have a macbook pro late 2014 model. The battery is bloated. Then I get myself a battery replacement but after the installation, it cannot charge. The symbol on battery icon does not turn into lightning. It keep showing me the electric socket symbol.

It can only charge when I sleep or turn off my macbook for a while. I assume that if the battery is cool then it is easier to charge. I have raise this issue to my repairer, and at first, they think the battery is faulty, and they give me another battery replacement, but then same issue appear.

Anyone know what is the cause of this problem or experienced the similar case?

How long was " Hi I have a macbook pro late 2014 model. The battery is bloated. " and used on this computer ?

Bloated batteries can cause issues with the Connectors from Battery to Computer

They can also cause damages to other components in the computer outside of the battery connectors

Then have a few suggestions ;

1 - Have the computer evaluated by the Professionals who have the Special Hardware Software and Expertise to diagnose the issue and offer possible solutions

2 - Make an Appointment at the Apple Genius Bar and have them evaluate the computer

If there are concerns about costs, only they can provided accurate estimates

if you had some store replace the bloated batt then I would return the mac to them and have them fix it,

if you replaced it yourself then if it was me then I would try to get a official repair place take a look at it
