Power on sans battery?
I’m trying to determine what component has failed in this MacBook Pro. If I successfully remove the battery, and install all the other components, then plug the computer in, will power on normally?
The only reason I haven’t just tried to do this is for fear of damaging the computer in some way (these Touch Bar MBP’s are sketchy and delicate).
Is this a good question?
Can you give us the back history on what happened here. Also give us a deeper rundown what happens when you try to start up your system.
I would buy a USB-C power meter so you can get a better idea whats happening. Type C Power Meter Tester for USB-C Devices.
FYI - You can't run your system without the battery physically connected.
