MacBook Air a1466 turns off when charger is disconnected
crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:
Mid-2013 (1.7 intel core i7?) i think, still have it on high sierra.
I’m not entirely sure where this originated, but i know it began with it randomly shutting off once, then a few more times soon after i started the laptop. A Google search said that i should clean out the fan because it is shutting off due to overheating so i did this ((it seemed random enough that it was likely, and i couldn’t hear the fan)), but i didn’t disconnect the battery. I’m not entirely sure when this current conundrum specifically started, but probably one of those random shut offs had it stay at 80%, and now whenever i disconnect the charger, it shuts off. Turning it back on brings me to the same fate each time.
- I’ve tried a bunch of different ways of restarting the SMC thingy, but i may have missed a couple/conducted them incorrectly. Many sites say that i need to disconnect and reconnect the battery to do this, but i don’t want to open up the back again if i can. - I’m pretty sure the battery is fine, not perfect but far from dead. - The system report is telling me that it is not charging and coconutBattery that it is charging with 0 watts, but otherwise that it is at 80%, not charging, but connected to a power adapter. I restarted with a recovery reset and it said that the battery is at 76%, seconded again by coconutBattery and a system report.
In all, i’m confused. I bet there’s an issue with the software getting confused or some mumbo jumbo, but i really don’t know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Also, closing the laptop lid used to shut it off ((i think that was whilst it was shutting off randomly)), but that doesn’t do it anymore.

I forgot to include this last night, but my charger is a 45W Magsafe 2 Adapter, and it doesn’t seem to be doing anything ((it doesn’t get very warm at all well in use, when that usually is the case)).

Also, i’m finally getting told to “Service Battery” since the most recent shut off.
