Since a few days the area around the MagSafe-DC is getting quite hot, regardless of wether the Mac is running or idle. Does this have anything to do with the MagSafe-DC? Any recommendations?

Hi Folks,
Just went through these very clear steps on replacing the DC-in board after the pins on my old one were burned.
First off, success…ish with the replacement and the mac is back to charging again in high spirits. However, I am now notified of a “service battery" beneath the charge drop down menu. In checking the system information, the battery is at a cycle count of 824.
I am not quite sure what to do at this point and appreciate any tips.
Best,
random guy on the internet

Hi there !
My mac won't charge the freshly replaced new battery... event tho it's running fine and recognized by the system...
I've been Changing the battery / Reseting SMC & NVRAM / Clean install on Monterey...
It still tells me :
Power source : power adapter
Battery is not charging
Do you think replacing the DC-in board would help ?
Thanks for your advices !

I’ve replaced my charging cables and battery. Will be replacing the charging port but if it still doesn’t charge … what might be the problem?
