SMC Reset Issue - Able to do after full drain
I have been using this Late 2012 Macbook Pro Retina for almost 6 years. Battery service already came, never mind, started using with charger always, battery support for 2 hours.
Recently I have updated Catalina (from Mojave), not able to login, again re-formatted, Installed Mojave, started to use since then. Fan run loudly, Keyboard backlight not working, sluggish performance… When I do SMC reset, can see charger indicator status change, but no change even after restart.
From sleep mode, it goes off, then restart, again fan louder.
When battery fully discharged (like 2hrs after), SMC reset, then all works fine as normal.
Like to hear from experts to support me… Appreciate your help !!
Is this a good question?
