MacBook Air M1 not turning on without charging cable
Good evening, I have a question. I have a 13-inch MacBook Air M1, and it cannot turn on without being connected to the charging cable. However, the battery health is 100% and the charging cycles are minimal. What should I replace—the charging flex cable or the charging port? Thank you very much.

Can you install this gem of an App CoconutBatteryand take a snapshot of the Apps main window and post it here so we can see things. Then disconnect the charger and see if it stays running after about five min if it's still running take one more snapshot of CoconutBattery paste both here so we can see what happening.
As to which part needs replacing if the system is running from the charger then that removes both of the parts here in question as power is clearly getting through.

Before posting my question, I had installed macOS to erase the previous owner’s data. However, it doesn’t let me complete the process and always shuts down at a specific point during the download. Could it be because the battery is already dead and can’t provide power to the SSD and the CPU for the process to finish? In other words, if I replace the battery, will macOS download normally?
