Chosen Solution
Hi I have a A1708 with function keys. After dead logic board I ordered a used one of eBay. Replaced and booting up. First completely erased disc and made full install of delivered high Sierra. Then I saw that no battery is detected (PPT001 in diagnose). Boots up and schows 100% and X in battery symbol. At a short moment it showed battery 0%. Made SMC reset…nothing. High chance of high discharged status of the battery but my usb c tool only shows 0,5A when running…so it’s definetely not charging. what is the problem with “new” logic board and old battery ? Is there any workaround? Thx on advance Update (12/14/2019)
Looks like there is something wrong with dates? Had the Problem with date at new installation of High Sierra with “CERT” failure because date was set to 19xx.
You need to replace the battery as the micro controller within it is not working so its not charging properly. Here’s the needed part MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Function Keys, Late 2016-2017) Battery you’ll need to reference this guide MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys Late 2016 Battery Replacement
Hi, lately I installed an NVME M.2 ssd and after unplugging the battery board data cable I ripped of the head. After installing everything and plugging everything the MacBook don’t start anymore with the battery and it doesn’t show up on the sidebar. I ordered a new battery board data cable and plugged that won in with no results. Am I missing something ?? any setting ?? or manipulation ?? I did everything step by step. Please help !!
