Do I need to change the battery or something else.

I bought a MacBook Pro M1 2020 as a bargain.  The diagnostic error check came with PPP 007. When I switch on the laptop, the battery is 1% and it won’t charge even though I’m using the charger that came with the laptop. On the

@ashishkhedkar - I would just replace the battery, give this a read MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports Late 2020 Battery Replacement it’s not very hard and it’s a lot cheaper than what the Apple or AASP will charge as they aren’t allowed to replace the battery alone (why I can’t answer).


Just take your time lifting the battery out and use just a little solvent at a time as you pull on the battery.

You could see if resetting the SMC fixes things otherwise the logic board needs repairs.

Reset the SMC of your Mac

The power regulator logic is messed up. This is not a battery or charger issue as we are getting power via the charger, the battery is just drained.

@moussihabou - What happened with SMC reset?

If that failed the logic board will need repairs.

@danj it’s a mac with Apple silicon. MacBook Pro M1 2020. I checked the link. It says switch off and on, and no other steps. It didn’t help after trying that. Is the logic board supposed to replaced entirely or repaired. Is there Any links (websites) to get the logic board incase it has to be replaced entirely.

by

@moussihabou - Time to visit an Apple Store or AASP. As the logic board needs repairs.

@danj hi, I finally took it an AASP. They told me that they have to change the entire top case because the defective top case would be returned to Apple.
