    Macbook Pro M1 (A2338) - Not Charging but Detected and Post

    A client showed up with a Macbook Pro M1 stating that the battery doesn't get charged (no increase in percentage) but still charge. She left me with the battery 25% and still draining. The Macbook is fully functional. I checked with coconut battery and system report. Battery health shows 85% and stating normal condition, no abnormalities. When it is charging, the system says it takes 10 hour to finish charging. I went ahead to charge it for a longer period, the battery just drains (doesn't get charged).

    At first, I thought that this must be a battery issue. I went to replace the battery. But what do you know? It didn't work.
    From a visual inspection, the type C port looks okay. System report also shows the type of charger it is plugged in (so I don't think that there's trouble conecting to the charger).

    I'm at work now, so I don't have physical access to the device. After work I want to pick up ISL9240 from a store that I know. My suspect is from the ISL9240 (U5200). Any other suggestions?

    The power adapter may be underrated. Be sure the power adapter is 100W or more with a power cable that is certified for 100W or more support.

      Nah I don't think thats the issue here. Wouldn't regular M1 A2338 come with 60W adapter?

        I've replaced the ISL9240, the machine still boots and charging, but no effects. I don't have a type-c meter, but stating from coconut battery it only gives 2-3 watts of charge.
